More About Shannon's Care

Shannon works on a broad spectrum of health concerns but has specific areas of interest in working with women’s health care, mental health, conjunctive oncology support, pediatric care and working with preventative medicine and general well-being.

Shannon has a heart for caring for women through all phases of life. From cycle health, to preconception, fertility support, conjunctive IUI & IVF support, pregnancy, postpartum and perimenopause & menopause. As women we go through many changing tides in our bodies throughout our lifetimes, which is both challenging and beautiful. Shannon has witnessed the wonderful effects acupuncture and Chinese Medicine can have on regulating the body’s functions from a hormonal, emotional, and physical standpoint.

Having been through her own major life transition physically and emotionally after having her son, she personally understands the joy and difficulty with the changing demands on the body during pregnancy, postpartum, and becoming a mother. Shannon wrote her thesis on fertility at the end of her master's degree knowing this area of care would be a large focus in her practice. She finds joy in caring for women throughout their journey to conception, pregnancy, postpartum, and continuing to care for women as they parent and find balance in caring for themselves. She is not a practicing doula, but completed Holistic Doula certification through the Matrona. This training has been a great resource in caring for pregnant women in her practice.

Shannon has also walked through prophylactic surgeries to prevent cancer based on a genetic predisposition to female and reproductive cancers. She has learned so much from this healing journey about preventative cancer care, holistic and western medicine support, pre and post op healing and recovery and empowerment through following her own heart, body, mind and spirit. Through this experience, she is honored to support each person's innate knowing of what is right for them and support them in providing resources and care that fosters their unique healing path.

Shannon spends her free time with her son, husband, friends, and family. She finds joy in hiking, yoga & being active, reading, learning, traveling, brining women together in sacred spaces, spending time with horses and in nature.
