Who This is For
This free discovery consult is for people in midlife who are carrying a lot (career, caregiving, parenting, partnership) and are ready to reclaim their health and step into C.E.O. of their life—Caretaker of their Emotional + Overall wellbeing.

This call is for organizations exploring staff wellness or sustainable leadership and wanting to see if wellness, trauma-informed, somatic workshops or trainings are the right next step for their people.
What You'll Come Away With
You’ll leave with more clarity about this season of your life, a sense of what your body and nervous system are asking for, and a few concrete next steps for your healing and wellbeing.
For Teams and Organizations:
You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of how nutrition, trauma-informed, and somatic practices can support your staff or community, plus a few tailored workshop or training options and concrete next steps.
What to Expect
Our call is a relaxed, confidential conversation about what midlife feels like for you right now. We’ll clarify your goals around reclaiming your health and C.E.O. role, touch into what your body and nervous system may be asking for, and I’ll offer a few next steps without any pressure to decide on the call. We’ll gently explore what your body and nervous system may be asking for, and notice which “element” you might be moving through right now (Earth, Wind, Fire, or Water).
For Teams and Organizations:
Our call is a grounded, collaborative conversation focused on your people. We’ll clarify your goals around staff wellness and stress, name key challenges (burnout, boundaries, vicarious trauma), and explore a few workshop or training options from the Wellness Journey Portal framework—again, with no pressure to commit on the call.

"My life has completely changed since I met Dr. Shawn. She made my health journey easier than I ever expected. I lost the weight I had struggled with for so long, and her nutritional meals transformed me completely. Today, I am living my best life. I also had several unhealthy habits, but they are all gone thanks to her close follow-up care and personalized nutrition plans. My husband has now joined the journey too, and he looks healthier and better than ever."

It’s a relaxed, confidential conversation where you share what this season of life feels like, what you want to reclaim in your health, and what’s getting in the way. I’ll ask thoughtful questions, offer reflections, and suggest next steps without any pressure to commit.
No. My work is coaching and education, rooted in the learning from the Institute for Integral Nutrition, trauma-informed and somatic principles. It can complement therapy, but it does not replace mental health treatment or medical care.
Sessions can hybrid or held virtually (via Zoom or similar), so you can join from wherever you are.
I don’t take insurance. Coaching and workshops are private pay, and I occasionally offer sliding scale options or special rates for those with financial need.
No. You do not need a diagnosis. We focus on your lived experience, your goals, and what your body and nervous system are communicating.
