Hi, I’m Shannon

I’m a former DII collegiate soccer player, nature lover, and a wellness enthusiast.

My virtual functional nutrition practice is based out of Colorado Springs, CO, where I appreciate the outdoors, movement, and the simple moments that make life feel full.

But for much of my life, my body didn’t feel simple.

Despite being a competitive athlete and “looking healthy,” I grew up struggling with chronic constipation, bloating, acne, and other “weird” skin concerns. As I got older, PMS, debilitating menstrual cycles, brain fog, joint stiffness, and unsettling eczema flares became part of the picture. On paper, everything was often “normal.” But deep down, I could tell something was just off.

While working as a Registered Nurse, I began noticing similar patterns in my patients. Symptoms that were treated in isolation, labs within range, yet people still feeling unwell. There was this crack in the system that so many patients kept falling through.

I became deeply curious.

That curiosity led me to pursue advanced trainings in functional nutrition and integrative health, where I learned to assess the body as a connected system rather than a collection of symptoms. My work is grounded, evidence-informed, and deeply individualized.

Today, I integrate my clinical nursing background, formal training in dietetics, and advanced functional lab testing with root-cause investigation and practical lifestyle strategy. The result is a structured yet sustainable approach focused on strengthening the foundations of health, restoring digestive health, building stress resilience, all while adapting a transformative and healing mindset.

I don’t believe symptoms are random. They’re communication.

And when you learn how to interpret them, healing becomes clearer, calmer, and far less overwhelming.
