Before working with Shannon, I had all but given up and just accepted this is how it will always be. I had no energy; I struggled with inflammation. I was told “just lose weight, eat better and exercise.” There were periods of time when I did just that, I had exercised to where I had become physically ill, I lived on salads. No change whatsoever. I had little to no energy, everything felt like a chore, I was physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausted. I had tried every fad diet, tried eating very little, exercise you name it. Shannon’s warm inviting nature was the first reason I decided to work with her specifically, then the list grew to include: It truly felt like we were a team, her suggestions and guidance were all with explanations, so, I knew why I was doing this. At first, I was skeptical, only because nothing had worked, and I was honestly just accepting of this is just how life will be. The most valuable part of working with Shannon was understanding what I was doing and why I was doing it paired with a very caring person who wants to help and cheer you on. The biggest surprise about the approach and results was how it actually works. The approach was always informative and I could ask Shannon questions and wasn’t given a prescription to fix it. I feel like my doctor just wanted to medicate problems for my inflammation, constipation, and weight loss. I wanted my body to do what it is supposed to, not medicate. The specific improvements that I’ve noticed with my health and well-being is my inflammation is almost completely gone, and I do not have constipation issues. I work out 4 nights a week, because I have the energy to do so! I have lost a total of 45 lbs. My knees, ankles and back no longer hurt from the weight I am losing. I have made food changes to eating clean, and healthy and that’s not just salads! I have so much more knowledge about how to eat and what works for me! My life has changed in so many ways since implementing what I’ve learned. I look forward to getting up in the morning. My daily activities no longer feel like chores. My body is working the way it should. I have energy! My emotional, mental, and physical health has dramatically improved! Before no matter what I tried, nothing changed. Now I can work out, I have the energy to do so and I get results. I have even joined a kickboxing class that I really enjoy. You have nothing to lose in working with Shannon! It's had such a positive impact on every aspect of my life. I'm so thankful for her support and kindness!

Prior to working with Shannon, I was struggling with infertility. I had a lack of menstrual cycles for over 5 years post 8 years of birth control pills. I had to rely on a fertility clinic and expensive meds to conceive my son. As he approached 3 years old, I knew I wanted to have another child, but didn’t know how that would be possible without the help of a fertility clinic again. The lack of a menstrual cycles was something that emotionally consumed me, daily. All I ever wanted was to be normal, and have a baby in a “normal” way. I felt like my body was broken. This also affected me physically. Without a normal cycle, my acne was terrible, my moods were up and down, and I was anxious most of the time.

Prior to Shannon, I had gone to a fertility clinic where they did every test imaginable on me. Everything showed I was fine, but for some reason my hypothalamus was not telling my brain to ovulate as it should, causing the lack of periods. This was extremely frustrating because there is not often a specific known cause for this condition, which is called “Hypothalamic Amenorrhea.” I was told it could be from stress, excessive exercise, poor nutrition, or a combination of things.  

I decided to work with Shannon because I knew that modern medicine was not helping me anymore. They could give me band-aide fixes, but that wasn’t getting to the root cause of the issue. I knew Shannon had years of experience healing her own body, so I thought this would be a great opportunity to see if she could help heal mine too! Shannon made this whole experience so simple and easy to understand. She had me journal for several weeks what I was eating so she could help understand where I needed improvement. She gave me individualized results based on what I had journaled and I was able to follow her plan over the course of several months. Not only did she tell me what I should change in my daily life, but she was ALWAYS available to answer my questions and be a support through it all. 

The most valuable part for me was the education Shannon has taught me. I have learned SO much about nutrition, lifestyle and just healthy living in general. The information she has given me has changed my lifestyle for good! 

I could not believe how QUICKLY I had the results I was looking for! After a few weeks of starting Shannon’s recommended plan for my health, MY MENSTRAL CYCLE RETURNED! I was NORMAL again! It continued to return every month, just as it was supposed to! Not only that but my mood improved, my energy increased, and my skin cleared! My life has changed in a way I will never be able to repay her for! I started my journey with Shannon mid-September, 2024. On December 3, 2024, I found out I WAS PREGNANT! And the best part was, my body did this itself! No fertility clinic, no meds, no expensive medical bill, just my body doing exactly what it was designed to do!

Something I can do now is conceive naturally! I have more energy than ever, I am able to comfortably run a mile a day (even while being 20 weeks pregnant), and I overall feel amazing.

Working with Shannon, is so worth it! Your health is SO important, and you cannot take it for granted. Shannon knows how to help you give your body exactly what it needs. As soon as your body is healed, your life will CHANGE! My life has been forever changed and my family has grown, all thanks to My Rooted Healing. I would like to say, THANK YOU! I have learned so much that I never knew before, and because of this journey, I am a whole new person. You are amazing, Shannon!
