After graduating from Kemptville College in 2000 with a diploma in Food Science & Nutrition Management, Shannon began her career with an internship at CHEO supporting the nutritional needs of the young patients. Despite enjoying her internship, Shannon realized that her true passion lied in supporting the elderly; and for 23 years Shannon has led as a Nutrition Manager in the Long-Term Care Sector. During this time, she has specialized in nutritional support and therapeutic menu preparation for many acute and chronic illnesses and health issues such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, obesity, malnutrition, digestive disorders (constipation, IBS), food allergies, sensitivities & intolerances, autoimmune diseases, mechanically altered diets for dysphagia (minced and puree food textures & thickened fluid requirements) and so much more.

In 2012, after battling health issues of her own, Shannon was driven to deepen her knowledge and find alternative ways to regain control over her health and well-being. In doing so, she attained her Fitness Instructor Certification (2012) and Healthy Eating & Weight loss Coach Certification (2015) with CanFitPro. Since then, Shannon has been teaching multiple forms of group fitness classes in Sarsfield, Limoges & Navan, and has developed successful nutrition and wellness programs to help her clients achieve their lifestyle and weight goals.

As a Nutritionist, Shannon’s scope of practice includes providing education and nutritional guidance to individuals with low to moderate risk medical conditions.

In her spare time, Shannon enjoys spending time with family, friends and fur babies, reading & learning, practicing and teaching reiki energy healing, cooking, and outdoor activities such as fishing & gardening.
