After years of working in sales, Shawn and her husband adopted a child and Shawn stepped away from sales to become a full-time mother. As her daughter progressed in grade school and then in middle school, Shawn had an opportunity to focus on her true passion: women’s health and wellness. Initially, Shawn started this new phase of her life by teaching Barre fitness classes. As the pandemic shuttered that business, she enrolled in and earned a Master’s Degree in Holistic Nutrition and then took it a major step further by becoming Board Certified. Shawn was then accepted into a well-respected internship program which provided direct clinical experience in supporting and healing individuals with chronic health conditions, including hormone imbalances, histamine intolerance, mold exposures, food intolerances, and Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome. Her continuing drive to expand her knowledge regarding traditional and non-traditional healing alternatives brought her to the Bay Area Brain Spa … a revelation! Shawn is convinced that the treatment modalities available through BABS can be powerful adjunct services to bring the mind and body into balance. Shawn is privileged to be part of the BABS team. Shawn continues to teach fitness classes, coach clients in nutrition, and enjoys gardening, cooking, hiking, and spending time with her daughter, husband, family, and friends.
