Here to help you be strong, overcome pain, & find joy with exercise. Finally feel confident & capable with your fitness.
I've been inspired from my weekend away in Phoenix.
Hey Reader, So if you've seen my social media lately, I just spent 3 intense but super fun days out in Phoenix, Arizona diving deeper into learning all about how to get faster & more explosive. What else could be better for physical health than to level up your performance? I know some of you may not identify or see yourselves as an athlete. But as Bill Bowerman (track and field coach & founder of Nike) once said: “If you have a body, you are an athlete." I'm always super inspired & motivated to do more and provide more as a coach. And coming off of this weekend connecting with other likeminded professionals, the bigger war is still being fought. We are up against deep cultural and societal norms of standardized, cookie cutter, non personalized, transactional health care. And very much the bigger driver behind my coaching practice: Be Resilient. I feel like I have way more freedom and the best environment to help people solve problems & build life long skills by being a coach rather than a clinician. And so I decided to make this quick 6 minute video about my coaching framework. I hope it helps you to better understand what I am all about & what my philosophy and beliefs are and how those impact the way I go about working with people. Since I know many of you following me probably saw me at a very different point in my career and practice. I can proudly say I am a very different person from a few years ago. And that has also translated to the type of practice and "business" that I have. And for some, that may not be what you are looking for and that is completely ok. You are more than welcome to unsubscribe from this email. But if you are curious, open minded, willing to experiment and go through the mindful work of getting to understand yourself and your body better for the long haul - keep leaning in here. We like messy and keeping things realistic here. We don't overpromise. We don't quick fix. We don't baby you. We coach & guide. We help you navigate the nitty gritty. We give you a healthy dose of challenge. As always, my door is always open if you need some more professional help with your body, fitness, performance, and/or overall health. Messy reps are the best reps, Dr. Shannon |

Be Resilient Strengths Transformed, Redefine the Norm Hey Reader, I was just talking to one of the people I coach about how little mindset gets spoken about in health and fitness. Being diagnosed with a disc herniation... Being told your hormones are out of balance... Being told you should stay away from certain exercises or positions... How do you react to and think about those things? It may look entirely different from how someone else would react to being told the same things. For some it...
"Strengths transformed: Redefine the norm" Be Resilient Hey Reader, You got to hear this story... As a team dedicated to helping individuals transform their lives through sustainable exercise and coaching, we've witnessed incredible journeys of self-discovery and growth. I want to share the remarkable transformation of a new mom named Charissa. Just a few months ago, Charissa was unsure about what to do for a workout and had reservations about working with a coach. She was super honest about...
"Strengths transformed: Redefine the norm" Be Resilient Hey Reader, If anything, life has taught us that age shouldn't deter us from becoming more athletic; if anything, we should strive to get MORE athletic as we journey through the later parts of life. It's never too late to start on a transformative path that improves our well-being and gives us the energy and ability to have a higher quality lifespan & health span. (Btw, you don't have to wait until the new year to get started!) At Be...
