As an innovative leader in her field, Shawna has authored two best-selling books and has spoken for renowned organizations such as Lumen Technologies, Zayo, and the Women in Tech Conference.

Mentorship and collaboration are integral aspects of Shawna’s career.

Through JourneyWoman, Shawna leads women-only wellness adventure retreats around the world, with upcoming events in Morocco and Fiji.

Shawna’s commitment to staying current with the latest developments and research in her field is evident in her journalistic background and her plans to write a third book.

To create sustainable change, Shawna utilizes the “Circle of Life” coaching tool to help clients evaluate various aspects of their well-being. She teaches clients the importance of nourishing their bodies with both primary (the food they eat) and secondary (their lifestyle) food sources.

Shawna is actively involved in professional communities such as the NBHWC, JourneyWoman Advisory Board, IIN alumni, UW alumni groups, and a local charity called Women For Good.
