About Shawna

Hello! Thanks for stopping by. A little bit about myself: I have over 20 years of experience working as dietitian including inpatient, outpatient, management and menu planning. I was raised in California and Washington but currently reside in Kentucky and spend time in Tennessee including Nashville. Besides being a mom to several children, I take care of at least nine pets. I follow through with goals and keep on task. Graduated from two universities many years ago while working full time and part time jobs: even extremely physically demanding jobs. My experience has taught me to be adaptable to change and keep organized. I am new to Nourish and excited to join this outstanding company with so many amazing dietitians and I can't wait to meet you!

Approach to care

I am here to help support you in your nutrition endeavors: to reach your goals and encourage you on your path, judgement free. I truly enjoy speaking to others and listening. When I start a task I get it done. I am patient, kind and focused. I understand that change takes time and I am here for you to help guide you down that path. We will work together as a team. You tell me what you want to work on and I will assist you.
