A little about why this matters so much to me...
Hi there,
I'm Shannon, a Holistic Nutritionist passionate about helping women throughout their motherhood journey. Whether that's through balancing hormonal symptoms, supporting fertility, navigating pregnancy or repairing after birth- all women deserve to feel nourished and supported.
My own journey started a few years back when my husband and I were finally ready to start trying to conceive after years of waiting for the “perfect” time. Little did we know, our journey would not be quick or easy.
-I had been on the birth control pill for 16 years
-My cycle took over a year to return, and was extremely irregular
- I worked with both traditional fertility and naturopathic doctors
-I was diagnosed with PCOS
-We suffered a painful miscarriage.
During this time I was exercising way too much, under eating and I had just suffered the loss of a close loved one. To say my body was under chronic stress in an understatement!
After many more months had passed, we finally conceived with the help of medication to stimulate ovulation and brought a beautiful and healthy baby girl into the world after 3 years of trying.
Although I am grateful for the medical system that helped us to conceive, I wish I knew more about healing myself first. Maybe my journey to motherhood would have been a lot shorter!
There is so much more to learn from our bodies than what the medical system has to offer. Yes, there is definitely a need for it in some scenarios, but why aren’t we told that we can try to heal from within first or even alongside it?
My experience compelled me to learn more by becoming a Holistic Nutritionist specializing in helping women support their fertility naturally and get pregnant sooner than continuing to try on their own. I am also working on becoming a Certified Prenatal and Postpartum Nutrition Coach - to support women throughout the entire perinatal arc.
My goal is to help women from preconception through postpartum (& beyond) create the family they have been dreaming of without overwhelm or more generic advice that hasn't worked for them.

I can't wait to hear from you.
-Shannon
