Shannon Hershman
Shannon Hershman holds a B.A. in biology and minor in both performing arts & psychology from La Roche University in Pittsburgh, PA. She also danced professionally with various companies including Bodiography Contemporary Ballet, Cerqua-Rivera Dance Theater, and Inaside Chicago Dance. In 2014, she completed the BASI™ Comprehensive Pilates Program and was the runner up for the Kathy Grant Scholarship. In 2001, Shannon was diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis, an autoimmune disease. At the time, multiple doctors said it was incurable. If left untreated, it could cause blindness and spinal fusion. In pursuit of modalities that would ease chronic pain, she became certified in TriggerPoint Foam Rolling, Yamuna Body Rolling®, and Yamuna Foot Fitness®. At the age of 30, Shannon began researching and soon discovered the power of a low fat, whole food plant-based diet. Her symptoms completely healed and she was permanently off medication within 1 month. Fueled by the misinformation given to her and discovering the power within herself to heal, Shannon became devoted to helping others. Since then her continuing education has been extensive and holds a Plant Based Nutrition Certification, is a Level 2 Frederick Stretch Therapist, Reiki Instructor, Craniosacral Therapist, and Quantum Catalyst Healer™. Shannon believes each person has a Master Healer within themselves to become whole again. When the mind, body, & spirit are working in harmony, health will follow.
