I am a licensed Physical Therapist with a Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Rutgers University. I am also a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist from the NSCA, and hold a Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science. I have over 9 years of experience in the health and fitness industry.

When I began working as a physical therapist for active adults, many of my patients had questions about weight management, nutrition, and what to do in the gym. This led to the recognition that there was a gap in the industry with taking a holistic approach to health that encompasses the whole person--from what we are putting inside our bodies, how we are moving day to day, and the thoughts/limiting beliefs that guide our actions.

Couple this recognition with my own personal lifelong struggles of weight management, PCOS, and body dysmorphia; and in 2022 I started my own online business in an effort to fill this gap AND help people overcome the same struggles that I had dealt with my whole life. I take every factor into consideration to build your personalized plan for success—what you are consuming, how are you moving, your lifestyle and your thoughts and beliefs about yourself!

On a personal note, Dr. Shannon competes in beach volleyball at the semi-pro level and she loves to go to the beach, weight train and spend time outdoors.

• Feel like the number on the scale dictates how they feel about themselves

• Are looking to hit their physique goals while maintaining a balanced life
