Shannon Leatherman

Shannon has been a Registered Dietitian for 15 years and has spent most of her career in outpatient nutrition counseling and education. She has a variety of experience in pediatrics and holds a Certificate of Training in Childhood and Adolescent Weight Management. She especially enjoys helping children and their families with weight concerns, food allergies and eating disorders. She has also spent a number of years teaching an adult weight management/healthy lifestyle class and enjoys helping adults improve their health while navigating the busyness of life.

When it comes to nutrition, Shannon is a strong proponent of balance...whether it be balancing healthy food with pleasurable eating, balancing a tight time or money budget, or balancing emotional health with the benefits of good nutrition. Shannon loves to spend time listening to her patients and helping them to find creative and sustainable ways to problem-solve. She also enjoys cooking and meal planning and incorporates these into her sessions as needed.

During your first visit, you can expect Shannon to ask you a lot of questions about your health, lifestyle and eating habits. She will spend time getting to know you, what your goals are and what motivates you. By the end of the first visit, she will typically help you set one or two goals to start you on your journey to better health.
