About Shawna

Hey there! I'm Shawna. I've been practicing as a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) for 3 years and have over 20 years of experience in healthcare, with direct patient care. Prior to starting my second career as a Registered Dietitian, I was a Certified Pharmacy Technician for 15 years in a variety of healthcare settings. While on my own health journey, I decided to pursue further education in nutrition which led to becoming a Registered Dietitian. My mission is to help individuals improve their health and nutrition outcomes using simple, evidence-based strategies. What I love most about being a dietitian is building connections with individuals and supporting them in making sustainable changes that positively impact their health.

Approach to care

I approach our sessions with an open mind while listening to your concerns and work with you to create goals and a nutrition plan that accommodates your lifestyle, yet still offers opportunities for health improvement. I believe all foods can fit in a healthy diet, and do not label foods as "good" or "bad".

Your first session with Shawna

Our first visit together will include a comprehensive nutrition assessment. We will discuss your medical history, dietary habits, and lifestyle. We address your own health & nutrition goals, expectations and any initial questions you may have. I like to hear what has worked or not worked for you before and understand where you are coming from so I can meet you where you're at and offer a more personalized approach.
