The Health and Wellness Coach for ADHD/ AuDHD women
My name is Shannon, and I help ADHD and AuDHD women who are feeling frustrated and confused by their brain and body’s symptoms and signals to find their own unique flow and learn to support their brilliant, unconventional self!
Your brain and body are integrally connected. Your brain is not conventional so why would your body be? Conventional health habits and mindsets just don’t work for us. You need a different approach.

You are NOT a broken Neurotypical. You are your own, unique neurotype requiring unique patterns of care.
Hi! I'm Shannon
I am an AudHD woman, mother, a Certified Health and Wellness Coach, and a Culinary Nutrition Expert who has spent my life learning about the interplay of body and brain and how to read their signals and symptoms as important information to shape our unique care needs.
The nurturing, mothering, community-care oriented part of humanity is so needed in our world today. When neurodivergent women live these roles daily, we can easily get lost in them; confusing our value with what we do and how much or how well we do it. When we choose to get to know and value ourselves; our unique bodies, brains, needs, limitations, values, skills, passions, and our dreams, we are able to create a more creative and sustainable balance in our lives. We can feel more fulfilled, more supported, and have more capacity for joy, while we care for those around us in a much more sustainable way.
When we choose to see the way we naturally show up in the world as an essential, interdependent, and valuable part of the interconnected web of humanity around us, shame and old programming starts to fall away. Many of us needed to mask and conform in many ways that burnt us out when we were younger, it’s how we learned to survive, but now it is time to learn to thrive as the complex, full-dimensional beings we are.
You CAN create a life that supports you and that you love, and I am here to help you do it.
Expert Coaching and Guidance
As your Health Coach, I will bring my years of health and coaching experience and help you to explore your health, which is actually a sum of its parts; the physical, mental, emotional, occupational, spiritual, financial, and communal aspects of your life. I will support you as you discern your needs and values and as you experiment with lifestyle changes that better support your unique ADHD/ AuDHD body and brain.
One on One Health Coaching
These are the weekly coaching calls where you will see real change happen. We will do them via phone, video chat, or in-person meetings depending on where you are located. This is where the true growth happens, in a coaching relationship where you are seen, heard and supported as you experiment with the lifestyle changes, goals, and dreams that you have always wanted to achieve.
Your personal Health and Wellness Vision
Imagination and envisioning what you want in the future is a proven strategy for all humans and especially the creative, sensitive, precise bunch that we neurocomplicated folks are. We work on identity level empowerment here at Shannon Gail Wellness and this is one of the ways we do it.
Meal plans and recipes
Work together with me to come up with meals and meal plans that support your way of being in the world. Let’s highlight your needs, desires, culture, background, and financial needs as we explore ways to make meal planning and food preparation work for you.
Client Success Stories and Inspiring Results
Shannon Gail Wellness Client
“I’m so grateful to Shannon Gail Wellness for her kind and practical help with meal planning. After years of personal and family burnout, planning and making dinners has become nearly impossible. I was able to tell Shannon the limitations I have regarding energy, neurodivergent children’s sensory needs, and budget. She listened compassionately and without judgment. The meal plan she created for me was exactly what I needed. It helped me to keep my food expenses down, as well as offer my family more simple, nutritious meals.”
Shannon Gail Wellness Client
“I am in graduate school and have a lot going on. Shannon helped me iron out my priorities and come up with a health vision for myself. It helped me to be able to balance my goals and put my time towards the things I want in the long term while taking care of my short term needs and deadlines. I highly recommend her, she made it natural and fun to be coached."

“I am a mom of a one-year-old and Shannon helped me have a place to talk through my eating, school, and working out goals. I felt really listened to and I enjoyed our time together. I made a lot of progress that is continuing now. She is an excellent health coach!”

Check out What's Simmering
As a Certified Culinary Nutrition Expert, I love to experiment with recipe creation. Sensitive brains and bodies often go together, and part of ADHD/ AuDHD support is learning what foods support you. The recipes I share are all dairy free and most have gluten free options. (gluten and dairy are two of the most common inflammatory food groups)
Guidance That Works For You
You are the expert in your life. I am the guide on the side to help you get into the nitty gritty details of exploring what you want, leveraging what you value, using what you are good at, setting goals, processing your experiences as you go, and of ultimately shaping a life that you feel good living.
Health and wellness is about ALL aspects of your life. To support our health and wellness we get to look at how all these parts interconnect and balance. We will put attention on creating an inner and outer environment for yourself that supports your own personal mind, body, physiology, and way of showing up in the world.
"I really enjoyed health coaching with Shannon! She not only helped me talk through and create daily habits to help me reach my fitness goals, but she was very easy to talk to and a great listener. I also really liked she took a holistic approach. She was comfortable letting me talk about my fitness, diet, mental health, and personal goals. She didn't try to make me fit into a particular regimen. Five stars!"
