Who I Am

Shannon Torres — pilot, former counselor, and aviation coach specializing in stress management and confidence building for aviators.

Hi! I’m Shannon Torres 👋

A counselor-turned-coach, private pilot, and advocate for pilot wellness. With a Master’s in Counseling Education and professional experience at a 121 carrier, I help pilots and instructors strengthen their resilience, confidence, and performance.

Why I Started Aviation Conversations

  • Fear of losing a medical keeps many pilots from seeking support.

  • My coaching is confidential, medically non-reportable, and tailored to aviation life.

  • Safe space for pilots to regroup and perform at their best.
