Hello Love, I’m Shawnee (she/her) and I am so happy you’re here 🥲 !
A BIT ABOUT MY BACKGROUND: I have my Bachelor’s Degree in Nutrition, I’m a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, NIASZIIH Earth-Based Energy Healer, and somatic yoga/movement teacher. I am also a playful, compassionate, highly sensitive soul moving through her own ebbs and flows on this absolutely beautiful life journey!
THE SHORT STORY: Since I can remember, I've navigated a complex life path burdened by emotional angst, ADHD, disordered eating, and chronic illness. Growing up in a home struggling with body image issues, substance abuse, and alcoholism,
I experienced a profound lack of emotional support from my family, peers, and even teachers. Feeling unseen, unheard, lost, and ultimately so alone,
I developed digestive disorders, a distorted image of my body, and unhealthy coping mechanisms, including a destructive cycle of restrictive dieting, binge eating, and excessive exercise.
Despite my struggles,
I've always sought healing through nature, animals, and connection with humans that felt safe to me; ones that really saw me and heard me.
My own life experiences have given me a unique insight into the challenges one might face along their path, allowing me to offer a personalized approach to wellness that is both gentle and edgy. I’m here to offer you a place to rebuild your confidence, honor your incredible body, and finally make peace with food so your true healing can begin.
You are not alone and you are not a failure. If you’ve ever felt this way, YOU BELONG HERE.
My Approach
My intention and commitment is to always be as honest and as real as possible. And although I am extremely gentle and empathetic I will not be afraid to reflect what might be uncomfortable, difficult, or even sometimes triggering to hear. We need to work in these “dark” places to finally get some light in there.
This doesn’t mean there won’t be plenty of big hard belly laughs too. We need the joy and laughter just as much as we need the grief and anger. This work is really vulnerable and tender, trust me I know, because I have had to go through it too.
If you have reactions or triggers to anything in life then we know we have a place to take a look; “a doorway in.”
I promise I will be there every step of the way to hold you through what so desperately wants to be witnessed.
