Shanon engages each client from a trauma-informed perspective & is a safe space for clients identifying as LGBTQIA, non-binary, gender-expansive, or facing any situation that harms how they relate to food, weight, & their body. Shanon believes everyone deserves a comfortable, diet-free relationship with food & the body they are in, whatever its size. Is that your experience? If not, how would it change your life? Let Shanon help you find out.
Shanon will get to know you in a friendly, judgment-free space. She'll answer your questions & ask about your personal & medical history, including your experiences & feelings about food, eating, weight, & your health. You discuss what nutrition goals you'd like to achieve & how to make that happen.
Underlying each visit with Shanon is her belief that there is no "right," "wrong," "good," or "bad" when it comes to food.
