Approach to care

When it comes to nutrition, Shannon is a strong proponent of balance...whether it be balancing healthy food with pleasurable eating, balancing a tight time or money budget, or balancing emotional health with the benefits of good nutrition. Shannon loves to spend time listening to her patients and helping them to find creative and sustainable ways to problem-solve. She uses a holistic approach that encompasses all aspects of health, including activity, sleep & stress. She also enjoys cooking and meal planning and incorporates these into her sessions as needed.
