About Shannon
Hi! I’m Shannon, your personal Nutritionist. I am a Certified Nutrition Educator and graduate of Bauman College of Holistic Nutrition and Culinary Arts in Berkeley, California. Living in San Francisco, I enjoy living and eating healthily! But let me start at the beginning…
I moved out west to be a design director for a large retailer. It was great! I traveled all over the world researching trends, shopping, and creating affordable fashion for America. The best part about the jet setting was the food! I loved trying samosas in New Delhi, authentic Chinese cuisine in Hong Kong, handmade pasta in Florence, and delectable dairy in Reykjavic, Iceland. Shopping and eating - what more could I ask for?
Well, the long hours and stressful pressures of the design industry started to take their toll on my health. When traveling to a factory overseas, I became extremely sick. I went to at least eight different doctors, and no one could figure out what was wrong with me. SCARY!!! Finally, a year later, this wonderful naturopath discovered that I had a microscopic parasite. After a year of deteriorating, I knew I had to be serious about rebuilding my health.
I studied raw foodism and macrobiotics, cooking it myself and eating at the best whole food restaurants around the globe. Each time I would return home to the U.S. disheartened by the abundance of fast food chains and the lack of appreciation for gathering at the dinner table to enjoy a fresh meal. I even witnessed my own team of designers skipping lunch, eating on the run, and grabbing donuts and coffee for breakfast. I decided to make it a habit that each day we would all sit together as a team and eat and chat for our entire hour lunch. We were more productive and relaxed. Everyone deserves this simple pleasure.
I am dedicated to helping you find a natural path to wellbeing and radiance that tastes great along the way. Forget the long lectures. Let’s have fun cooking in the kitchen!! Nutritious food doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. I will help you find simple, delicious solutions to eating and living healthily! You will look and feel your best! Mother Earth will also thank you.
