Hi! I’m Shannon, the owner and founder of Summit Nutrition, LLC.

Since 2000, I have been providing nutrition therapy for individuals in a variety of settings. I began my career as a clinical nutritionist at several Kansas City area hospitals. After realizing how much I enjoyed working with diabetics, I joined a private endocrinology practice working with both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetics. While working with this population, I also obtained experience providing nutrition and personal training to members of a local health club. Through this, I found a passion for working with people who struggled with unhealthy eating patterns and excessive exercise.

One of my long-term goals was to live in Colorado, and that opportunity finally came when I accepted a position with the Eating Disorder Center of Denver in 2003 (now EDCare Denver & Eating Recovery Center of Denver). I worked with the partial hospitalization program (PHP), the intensive outpatient program (IOP), and outpatient levels of care. These experiences helped me to start my private practice in 2006.

​After living in Colorado for 20 years, I am thrilled to be back in northern California, where I was born. I have always appreciated all things food related; I like cooking and baking with my family, enjoying a fabulous meal, or even visiting a local winery. The beach is my happy place. I love exploring new areas, hiking, paddleboarding, and playing pickleball. In the fall, you will find me cheering loudly for the Kansas State Wildcats and Kansas City Chiefs! I have two adorable shih tzus, Stella and Luna, who often join me for client sessions because sometimes we need a little pet therapy.
