Outside of the clinic Shawna is either in her kitchen creating amazing, healthy meals or outdoors participating in most any activity….hiking, backpacking, rock climbing, kayaking, snowshoeing, skiing, ice climbing, or trail running. Connecting with nature is where she finds her balance and serenity and encourages her clients to do the same.
