My real ass team

Phenix started her passion for health and fitness after her first diagnosis of stage 4 cancer. She owned her own beauty salon, worked behind the chair taking clients, and was the operations manager. She had one child at the time and knew she needed to abruptly change her lifestyle to improve her health.

When it comes to health, Phenix takes the whole body into consideration, from the inside out. She immediately went on a cleanse and devoured everything healthy she could get her hands on. Her first mission was to get healthy food and purchase non-GMO nutrients. She vowed to educate her brain, stimulate her mind, cleanse her body, and purify her spirit. She then went on an all-fruit and veggies meal plan with only water. Shannon embodied the life of the plants she consumed after the first week by feeling lighter and more enriched with nourishing nutrients. Through her life changing experience, she sensed newfound clarity and decided to opt-out of chemotherapy to invasively remove the cancer. 

Phenix was cancer-free one year later after choosing better quality food and creating a healthier enviironment for herself. She, soon after, went into her first yoga teacher training program. Her experience helped her identify and unlock personal blocks and trauma kept in her body. She was able to heal her mind, body, and heart while going through the process of becoming certified. She originally had a love for the fitness industry and felt called to be a group fitness instructor, eventually a personal trainer. After teaching and developing a clientele, she knew she wanted more out of this health and wellness. 

Phenix ended up getting three other types of cancers throughout a span of a few years and knew she needed to expand her knowledge. She decided to get a degree in nutrition. After healing her own body, mind, and spirit (which she reminds us is a daily practice) she went into Pilates to get certified. Pilates led to a certification in Gyrotonic@ which she is currently coaching private clientele at her studio. In the midst of everything she is also trained in the Aerial Arts and Bungee. 

A few of Phenix's hobbies and interest include MMA, boxing, going to the beach, photography, driving her jeep around in the mud and getting dirty, climbing aerial silks, hiking, camping, boating, and fishing.

Phenix has five children, four of them being natural births, and one through adoption.  She has been vulnerable enough to share her experience with mental illness in her family. Her eldest child currently has schizophrenia, bipolar, and multiple personality disorder since he was 13, that she deals with on a day to day basis. 

Phenix is currently in a sex therapy mentorship program to become a sex, love and relationship coach. She is . She will use her knowledge of nutrition, exercise, health, sexuality and love for your body (because who doesn’t need more pleasure in their life?) to support you embodying the best version of you. The program will be a safe space to explore how you are currently overextending yourself within relationships, finances, sex, emotion, and intellect. By the end of the program, we will have identified major power struggles and how it has showed up in your life. The goal is to start establishing healthy practices to create boundaries within yourself to advocate them in your every day life. We will show up to the beauty of life and enjoy every moment of it. She reminds us to love ourselves from the inside out and be present with now. 

Phenix's message to you: You are life’s biggest project. The body has the ability to heal itself. We only need to listen and be aware of how to support it. It takes patience and practice to step out of our own way. We are given a beautiful gift. Let us be kind and generous to ourselves by not trying to destroy ourselves through the fire of self sabotage. There has to be a balance in life in your mind, body, spirit and your sexuality. She is here to support your creating your own life’s balance.
