About Shanna

Welcome! I’m so happy you’re here. My name is Shanna, and I grew up in the Ocean State. From an early age I was interested in health and wellness, which blossomed into a passion for helping others. While away for the military, I thought long and hard about what I could do in life that wouldn’t feel like a job, and that passion blossomed into a career that does just that, helping people in their journey with their relationship with food.

Approach to care

Our lives revolve around food. We eat and drink multiple times a day, and navigating that can feel daunting. My approach focuses on learning about your unique experiences, challenges, and goals to support you in a safe and inclusive way. Throughout our work together, we will create a plan that is individualized to fit your lifestyle and make living a healthier life easy.

Your first session with Shanna

During your first session, my goal is to learn all about your story and build the foundation for compassionate, judgement-free environment. I will ask you about your path through life thus far, your work, stressors, and current day-to-day schedule. We will also discuss your current eating habits, relationship with food, current concerns, what your motivation is, and where you are on your current journey. My ultimate goal is to help you craft a plan to help you reach your personal goals.
