About Shannon
I am a 56-year-old empty-nester, wife, proud mother of two amazing daughters and grandma to four beautiful grandchildren.
After retiring early from the corporate world due to high stress, crazy hormones, heart and gut related issues,
I made the choice to take control of my health and well-being. I learned how to manage stress through Christ-centered yoga as well as heal myself from the inside-out through proper nutrition and exercise.
Through my on-going wellness journey, I recognize that there's a lack of approachable education around nutrition and exercise mainly because how deeply invested mainstream marketing is in the billion-dollar wellness industry. As my own health improves, I see other women struggling with similar experiences as my own and believe many want to regain their health but have the "diet mentality", don't know where to begin or think it's too late or that nothing will work for them.
I'm here to tell you that it IS POSSIBLE to bring Balanced Wellness back into your life by living a HEALTHY and SUSTAINABLE lifestyle. In fact, it is my passion to teach you how to do just that!
My Wellness Journey
Over the past several years I have been immersed in 'all things wellness' discovering what it is to be 'balanced and well' in my own life.
​
I trained with Holy Yoga® where I've completed Masters training (300 hour), Holy Yoga Therapy training (300 hour), as well as certifications in various specialties including Holy Yogalates, Holy Yoga Plus, Holy Yoga with Weights and Holy Yoga Chair/Senior specialties. I am currently a Holy Yoga® Licensed Instructor Trainer. I've also trained with Revelation Wellness® as a group fitness instructor.
​
I graduated from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition*, where I learned innovative coaching methods, practical lifestyle management techniques, and over 100 dietary theories. My education has equipped me with extensive, cutting-edge knowledge in holistic nutrition, health coaching, and prevention.
​
My most recent accomplishment is becoming a FASTer Way to Fat Loss® certified coach. The comprehensive training, tools, and support provided by the program have enabled me to take my coaching program to the next level. I am now able to provide my clients with a program that is not only effective but also backed by clinical evidence.
