But think back to your childhood...Holidays were ALWAYS filled with joy, excitement, and fun so why did this have to change?

There was a survey conducted by Consumer Reports National Research Center where they asked people what they dread most about the holiday season and the results are exactly what you would expect...

68%: Crowds and long lines

37%: Gaining weight

37%: Getting into debt

28%: Gift shopping

25%: Traveling

24%: Seeing certain relatives

16%: Having to attend holiday parties or events

15%: Having to be nice (I am assuming this means being nice to people you do not like- LOL)

12%: Holiday tipping

But what about the joy associated with all of this negativity...I mean, is it possible to make all of the above FUN and filled with HEALTH?!?!Maybe I am too idealistic, but at the same time, I do believe it is possible to maintain our health and remain stress-free during this time of year which is why I am hosting this class.

How many times during the day do you find yourself feeling tired or run down? Maybe wanting to run to Starbucks for a quick fix, only to feel even more exhausted after the caffeine and sugar high wears off? What if there’s another way? A simple way to get your groove back, feel fabulous again, get into those skinny jeans, and maybe even beat that young guy at the gym during your workout?

I was not always so in tune with my body. It took me feeling burnt out myself to decide it was time to make a change. I threw my energy into researching how I could feel my best, and I’m thrilled to be able to share what I learned with you here.

I met Shannon at a time in my life when I thought I would never feel good again. I was constantly bloated, and could not remember a day that I didn’t have a belly ache. She taught me about gut health and how I can take control of my health. She helped me create a healthy relationship with food and taught me that I can still enjoy eating without being scared I was going to get sick afterwards. I later found out I have IBS and food allergies. Like a lot of allergies. Because of Shannon, I was able to figure out my new life while focusing on what I can have and not focusing on what I can’t have. Shannon is incredibly knowledgeable and made me feel completely comfortable as she was coaching me in my life and coaching me to take control of my health.
