It’s about time you were free from constantly thinking about food.
You're here to live your best life, and fixating on food aint it.
You’ve spent way too much time stressing about your weight and fixating on food. You just want to be at peace with it all.Â
Â
But how do you get your headspace back without letting yourself go?
Imagine feeling comfortable in yourself, without all the mental battles that come with controlling your food and body.
Stop what you’re doing and ask yourself: how would your life change if you could be free of food focus? Because right now, you’re not happy. You’re panicking about eating out, punishing yourself when you overeat, and wasting your life worrying what other people think of you.
Deep down, you know you're ready for change.
What would you do if you had your headspace back?
Travel & Enjoy VacationsÂ
Instead of restricting yourself before a vacation, or planning your entire travels around your fitness routine, you're present with loved ones and enjoying new experiences like Brianna.
Build Your Dream CareerÂ
Instead of spending hours researching recipes or thinking about what to eat next, you're putting your energy into reading, studying and building your career like Rachel.
Explore Your PassionsÂ
Instead of hiding away or covering up for fear of what others think, you're wearing clothes that express your style, meeting new people and hiking in beautiful places like Lorryn.
This process has created so much freedom in my life.
I reached out to address my relationship with food, something that felt very overwhelming and unachievable. Shannon was able to guide me through the process of identifying and reframing unhelpful thought patterns contributing to my relationship with food and show the alternate outcomes to situations by being curious and kind to myself. It was honestly a life changing experience, one I would say everyone would benefit greatly from.

EMPOWER Coaching is for you if...
Like Barbara, you fear weight gain
and are stuck in a rigid routine that must be followed perfectly, or else you feel anxious. You are paying a lot of attention to how your body looks and comparing yourself to others.
You long to be more confident and flexible so you can stop missing out and be present when you are with your friends and family.
Like Katie, your emotions take over
and you feel out of touch with your hunger and fullness cues. You're caught in a cycle of “I’ll be good tomorrow” and eating more than what feels good to you.
You long to have a relaxed relationship with food so you can showing up as your best self in all areas of your life.

The questions Shannon asked, how she asked them, and resources she provided, made me explore my mind in a different way. It was about getting to the root of what I was struggling with, not just setting a plan and saying I just don’t want it enough when I slip up. I felt the care and compassion throughout the whole experience.Â

Here's All Of The Details
Shannon helped me dig deeper into my story behind food, rather than staying surface level and just ticking some macro boxes.
I have tried many "nutrition" coaches who just told me what to do, what macros to hit or what to eat. It created a relationship of "need" where I didn't feel like I learned anything about myself and was unable to participate in life without measuring my food. I felt really disconnected from my actual hunger or preferences, and instead would cycle through not eating (to try manage my weight) and binge eating on the weekends / drinking more than I felt comfortable with. Working with Shannon was completely different. I learned to see how eating well was a way of taking care of myself and my body, rather than me needing to 'earn' that. I am very grateful for you. Your lessons stay with me and have helped me be a better human & coach. Thank you!

Meet Shannon, Your Coach
It took me a while to figure out what I wanted to do in life.
I'm a law school grad turned registered nutritionist and certified Compassionate Mind Trainer.
I created Body Image Fundamentals, a course for health coaches that was presented at the 10th Annual Appearance Matters Conference.
I'm currently studying for a diploma in Compassion Focused Therapy, approved by the British Psychological Society.
I want to be someone who makes the most of life. I love training and fuelling my body, but for a while I felt like I was just going through the motions.
I travelled the world for 6 years before moving to Spain. This opened me up to so many new experiences and different ways of living. I suddenly cared a whole lot less about how I looked!
When I first started coaching, I realised just how many people felt exhausted and held back by constantly thinking about food, controlling their weight, and worrying what other people thought.
I created Empower Coaching to help people let go of food focus and create a life they love.
Katie Brown
Before coaching with Shannon, I was really struggling to stop the diet/emotional eating cycle. It felt like a roundabout with no exit route. I was bonding so much "self worth" to my weight & size & it was massively impacting my life. Working with Shannon gave me the confidence to let go of things I tied my worth to. She helped me to become more compassionate, so that I could do the hard things & take time for me. I have changed my mindset entirely, meaning I focus on ways to soothe myself & give back to myself. I get more stuff done, I feel more mindful, I am feeling so much better in my own skin. I have more interesting conversations, because I have more time to read. I actually feel a little bit tearful writing this, but I don't weigh, track myself, my steps, my calories & goodness knows what else daily. I have time & that's precious.
Thank you for enabling me to understand that there is light at the end of a tunnel. It's wonderful that after 16+ years of being ruled by these feelings of self doubt, the need to be slimmer, disordered eating and a painful and overruling exercise addiction... I can look at a feelings wheel and feel hopeful and confident, and that feels wonderful.
I've used a few coaches and it was an investment I was scared to make, but Shannon is so different - in a very good way!
Maybe You're Wondering...
I still want to change my physique. Is this for me?
I'm not sure if I'm ready...
What if I fail again? I'm afraid of disappointment.
How is your coaching different?
How long will we work together?
