Dr. Shannon was born in New York City and moved to Charleston, SC, as a child. At the age of 10, Dr. Shannon was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune digestive disorder along with chronic, debilitating migraines. She spent years undergoing conventional treatments, procedures, and surgeries for the digestive disorders in an attempt to "manage" her symptoms, without any advice about how to truly get WELL. Almost 10 years into her conventional management journey, she was told that the doctors no longer knew how to help her, and she would have to "wait" for her symptoms to get so bad that surgical removal of her organs would be necessary, rendering her to a feeding tube.
It was at this moment that she decided that she was no longer content with managing symptoms. She wanted to be truly WELL. She experienced amazing results from pediatric chiropractic care regarding her migraines which, unbeknownst to her at the time, began to shift her paradigm into one of natural healing.
After graduating from Charleston Southern University with a focus in Psychology and Biology, she relocated to Atlanta, GA to attend Chiropractic college at Life University. After graduating with her doctorate, she opened up her own chiropractic practice, and later joined a team of doctors as Director of the Chronic Disease Reversal Program, where she worked with individuals suffering from chronic illnesses such as Diabetes, Autoimmune Disorders, Infertility, Digestive Disorders, Fibromyalgia, and many others, using the models of epigenetics and wellness lifestyle science.
While in full-time practice, she co-owned and opened a local coffee shop, Marietta Coffee Company, with her chiropractic friends and business partners, where they served locally roasted coffee, along with gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan treats to the local community. During this time, Dr. Shannon co-authored The Secret of Life and participated in a series of speaking engagements for the book’s release. She was also an experiential leader with Authentic Self Seminars, showcasing Breathwork, Network Spinal, and Energetic Biohacking at high level events and retreats.
After she gave birth to her daughter, Bexley, Dr. Shannon became an Adjunct Faculty Clinician at Life University's Center for Health and Optimum Performance, the largest chiropractic college's outpatient clinic. It was this experience that allowed her to discover her passion for mentoring students on their journeys to becoming doctors. She transitioned into a full-time Assistant Professor, serving patients and helping mentor the next generation of doctors. During this time, she launched her own series of seminars to share and educate future doctors on preconception, fertility, and tonal chiropractic approaches.
After moving to South Carolina, she continues to serve patients and future doctors as an Assistant Professor at Sherman College of Chiropractic in South Carolina, as a Case Doctor in the Health Center.
When not seeing patients, teaching, or hosting seminars, Dr. Shannon enjoys spending time with her daughter, Bexley, meal-prepping, organizing, reading, and helping others reach their highest human potential by
Unleashing Their Authentic.
