What is Nutritional Therapy?
Nutritional Therapy focuses on foundational support that helps harness a healing environment for the body. With a bio-individual view of each client, Nutritional Therapy utilizes nutrition, lifestyle, and holistic support to help clients achieve results.
Shannon will look for patterns and trends through your intake forms (food log, health history, nutritional assessment, and additional insights such as blood work), as well as your described symptoms to help develop a plan that blends lifestyle and nutritional support.
Expect recommendations to help you feel better for long term!
I'm obsessed with helping the high achiever regain connection to their body. Whether we're talking women's health, or through inclusive conversations in corporate wellness, I'm passionate about helping you gain more energy and be deeply nourished so you can feel more like YOU.
Being a high achiever myself, I know first hand what it feels like to constantly push past your body's needs, feel lost and confused about your body/ health, and getting to your goal feeling depleted vs. energized. That's why I'm on a mission to change the way you get to your goals.
With a blend of nutrition, lifestyle modifications, and mindset I help you become resilient and get to your destination feeling more fulfilled when you get there.
A glimpse into my story:
I graduated with a Bachelors in Nutrition, minoring in Strength and Conditioning, and Art (I originally had dreams centered around being an artist, but realized my real passion was in health), then quickly became a Personal Trainer.
In my career as a Personal Trainer I got to work with a variety of clients from all ages (youngest 12, oldest 91), and backgrounds. I worked with everyone from athletes, to executives, to seniors and brain injury patients.
I realized a theme with those coming to work with me in the gym- all of these people were disconnected from their body. They didn't know how to properly move it, how to eat to support it, and would often push past their needs of rest, in hopes they would drop a few pounds.
Personally, I had been going through my own struggles of negative body image, a disordered view of exercise and nutrition, and running myself to the verge of burnout. The result was menstrual health issues, gut issues, and a nervous system suck in fight or flight that left me wired but tired, and unable to achieve results in the gym.
I dove back into learning, adding various credentials to my name, and applied all that I learned. For myself the results spoke volumes. I was able to improve my relationship with my body, heal the various systems that were out of balance, and deeply nourish my nervous system.
I started Health With Shannon to help others do the same. Fast forward and HWS has supported people all over the world with their health!
I can't wait to support you! Join me on my quest to help millions regain connection to their body wisdom and unleash their potential with ease!
