I first came across John Shearer during the Lismore 2022 floods, after spending 6 hours on the roof awaiting to be rescued & then realizing I had lost everything, I moved away from Lismore & was homeless for a short time. It was a time when everything felt uncertain and overwhelming & I just needed someone to listen & understand. I took on John's certificate course on MAD (Making A Difference) mindfulness therapy which allowed phone calls when I needed them. John was always available; with a good ear a good heart & good words of wisdom.
I choose mindfulness as I had been a meditating for a number of years & I knew of it's benefits. What stood out to me straight away was how genuine and down-to-earth he is. He doesn’t complicate things or make mindfulness feel out of reach — he explains it in a way that makes sense and is easy to use in everyday life, even during life's most stressful times. Researching John on the internet gave me a insight into the fact that he was not just a academic doing this for a job or money but had in fact been through a difficult traumatic life event himself, so he had suffered & prevailed, which was important to me that he had "weathered the storm" so to speak.

John has a calm, supportive presence that really helps you slow down and find some peace, no matter what’s going on around you, his approach is authentic and relatable; as his mantra "Be Mindful...Pause...Connect"

Over the last few years John, with his wonderful wife Maureen, has now incorporated a new line of sound therapy into his practice for the lucky locals of Hervey Bay including many sonic healing instruments that can take you into deep mediation, rest & peace. If you’re looking for someone who can make mindfulness (or just need to talk) feel accessible, meaningful, and genuinely helpful; I can’t recommend John highly enough. He has a gift for connecting with people and helping them find more peace and clarity in their everyday lives.

Fantastic mindfulness coach with relaxing and powerful sound healing with gongs of all sizes, rain sounds whales, crystal bowls and a mix of other sound healing equipment I dream to have, this is therapy for me internally mentally and spiritually connections too.
If you’re willing to do the work, to come to peace of mind calm and connection to the inner you.
if you actually practise the work it literally becomes daily habit you’ll see the benefits within yourself, the growth I have seen when I look back at my own reflection on it my experience too,
I have loved every minute and have made a beautiful connection with the sound healer him self and the same gentleman John Shearer in the mindfulness coaching, I now flow, ignite and appreciate.
Just like a be mindful, pause and I connect.

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing both a personal healing session and a sound therapy session with John, and I can honestly say both were incredible.

In my personal healing session, I found John to be deeply knowledgeable, compassionate, and genuinely present. His ability to hold space made me feel safe, understood, and supported. I’ve also read his book, and it’s truly amazing—full of wisdom and insight that reflects his authentic approach to healing.

The sound therapy session was equally transformative. The setup was impressive, and the experience took me on a profound spiritual journey that felt both uplifting and grounding. The combination of sounds, vibrations, and atmosphere was unlike anything I’ve experienced before.

John is a beautiful human being whose warmth and dedication to helping others shine through in all he does. I’m truly grateful for the experience and highly recommend his sessions to anyone seeking healing, clarity, and inner peace.
