I’m Shannon, a Vancouver-based Certified Nutritionist. Welcome!
Thanks for taking the time to visit!
A little about me…I am extremely passionate about all things health and wellness, from a young age exercise and nutrition have always been important. After many years of going through my own health struggles (digestive distress, acne, anxiety, depression, parasites, and most recently SIBO), I decided I wanted to work in the health field and be able to help others facing similar challenges. I know what it’s like to feel alone, discouraged, and flat-out sick. I know what it’s like to be in and out of doctors’ offices, test after test without any answers, and too many antibiotics. Unfortunately, the modern health care system’s scope is limited and cannot provide root cause analysis or preventative care. Doctors simply are not able to spend enough time with their patients. That’s where holistic medicine comes in. In holistic medicine, practitioners are able to listen to their patients and get a full history of what they’ve been through. We recognize that each individual has unique needs and requires a personalized approach.
As a Holistic Nutritionist, I work one on one with clients and helping them achieve their health goals. I strongly believe in the healing power of food and plants, both of which form the core of my practice. My education and experience have made me more aware and in control of my body, mind, and spirit, in awe of the human body’s inner workings, and more than ever motivated to help others reach their highest potential. I believe that health is more than a physical state of being, but a mindset and lifestyle in which the standard of feeling “ok” can be challenged to a point of actualizing one’s own personal potential to feel their best. Why spend our precious time on this earth not feeling incredible?

TESTIMONIALS
“Shannon takes a wonderful holistic approach to nutrition by carefully holding space for ones own experience while offering natural solutions that have resulted in a greatly improved quality of life for me.”
“Shannon not only used her Holistic education in coming up with solutions for me but also helped to educate me in a way that will allow me to sustain my newfound habits.”
“Having never worked with a nutritionist before I didn’t know what to expect but after our first consultation, Shannon’s willingness to listen and professional demeanor got me excited for our work together. Sticking to Shannon’s protocols has not only got rid of my pains and discomforts but has changed my relationship and bad habits with food for the better.”
DISPENSARY
Vitamins and minerals are essential to helping our bodies develop and function as they should. Supplementation helps to fill nutritional gaps that cannot be met by food alone. Oftentimes, due to things like illness, inadequate diet, or stress, our bodies require more diverse nutrients (and in higher amounts) than we can consume in our food.
Choosing the right supplements for your needs can be extremely daunting. We are all genetically diverse and metabolize nutrients differently. On top of that, the supplement industry is flooded with products that are hard to differentiate and marketing that is better than the products themselves.
After finding out more about you, I will carefully make personal recommendations from a catalog of professional-grade supplements. I have worked closely with all of the brands and products I recommend and am confident in their efficacy. My recommendations are based on your specific needs, budget, and lifestyle. I am also happy to extend a 10% discount for my clients through Fullscript.

About Me
Through my own personal health struggles, I was drawn to working in Holistic Medicine. While traveling abroad, I began to develop what would become a long-term struggle with digestive health. As my symptoms intensified, I was in and out of Doctor’s offices searching for answers without any success. I started to look outside the limits of conventional medicine and ended up finding a naturopath who was able to give me a diagnosis – finally! I was then able to start my healing journey. Paying close attention to food and lifestyle (the pinnacles of holistic health) has been vital in this process. My continued personal health journey has fuelled my passion for helping others achieve balance and optimal wellness.
My protocols are meant to be easy to follow and built around you and your lifestyle and preferences. I hope to motivate and empower you to take charge of your own health. I will help you become more in tune with your body and help to increase your sense of self-awareness which naturally results in an increased motivation to form lasting healthy habits.
What I do
I help clients through a holistic and individual framework, evaluating each individuals complete health history, emotional state, lifestyle, and dietary habits. I then work to determine the root cause, remove the obstacles to health, and help to stimulate the body’s innate ability to heal itself. In my easy to follow protocols, I focus on whole foods and lifestyle modifications complemented with therapeutic supplements and herbs. Rather than using “diets,” I focus on having my clients form lasting healthy habits. In addition to giving my clients the tools, motivation, and education they need, I keep them accountable every step of the way and strives for their success!
