I met with Shannon a few weeks ago for my first consultation. I was mostly interested in dealing with sugar cravings and with muscle/body fatigue after working out. I consider myself well educated about nutrition, but I felt that I might be missing something in my diet that made my cravings so sharp and my recovery from workouts not effective. I can tell you — a few weeks of incorporating some of Shannon’s suggestions and I already feel enormous improvement! In fact, something she said about how she thinks I view food made my attitude change right after our meeting. I followed her advice on what to eat before and after working out, some of it calorie-rich food and with sugars, but with the right ingredients and without the guilt I associated with it. And it was that simple — giving my body what it actually needed has solved both my recovery and craving issues. I was impressed with the level of detail she covered during our consultation. We talked about every possible aspect of life in which I might find improvement through nutrition, and after our session she sent me a detailed recap of everything we talked about and all of her suggestions for things to change/try. And unlike many other nutritionists I’ve seen, she did not give me a laundry list of supplements I MUST take. She suggested a couple supplements to begin with which she thought were the most important, and mostly gave me ideas for how to add certain vitamins/minerals/amino-acids/and other compounds into my diet through real food, and how to change my attitude about food. I think Shannon is truly gifted. She has an incredible wealth of knowledge about health and nutrition from her professional training and her own life experience. Being a scientist myself, I found her consultation style to be a unique combination of an evidence-based, scientific approach complemented by a deep spirituality that connects all those hard scientific data with the softer intuitive sense of what is right and what works for a particular individual. I highly recommend meeting with her, you will love her!

I recently had an appointment with Shannon which prove to be quite insightful and a great help. After suffering from a sluggish metabolism and other digestive problems for many years, I decided to seek out help. Shannon, was thorough in her evaluation, exploring not only the dietary and physical causes to my symptoms and ailments but she also took into considerations many of the emotional aspects. I found that her tact and ability to understand nutrition from many facets, and her willingness to brake from the conventional and explore alternative paths to my current eating habits was a bold and very effective technique. She followed up our session with a comprehensive diet plan, tailored just for me, which in a short few weeks has considerably affected my digestion and even changed the shape of my body in remarkable ways. I will continue to be her client and would highly recommend her more than just a nutritionist but a health coach as well.
