Shannon was drawn to the fitness industry because of her exposure to powerlifting – a strength sport that values strength and resilience, and the community of women within the sport. She left a decades-long careers in retail and food service to pursue her passion for helping people of any background to feel strong, stable, confident, and encourage the development of healthy and sustainable habits. She currently works with clients of a wide variety – youth athletes, elder individuals, strength/barbell athletes, and now, pre/postnatal clients. She is available for in-person and online coaching. Shannon is a competitive powerlifter who is happiest in the gym, attempting to read every book on the planet, or watching very, very nerdy TV shows with her husband.
