Shannon’s interest, desire and personal commitment to educating and developing the potential in her clients through nutrition, physical fitness and awareness stems from her belief that the body has endless possibilities when fueled and treated properly. 

Her journey began over two decades ago when she was introduced to Pilates, a form of strengthening the body’s core movements through stretching, exercise, and muscle activation. This led Shannon into the fields of personal training, nutrition and mindset at both the group and individual levels. 

She received her certifications:

• Pilates and personal training through BASI (Body Arts and Science International). (600hrs)
• NPTI (National Personal Training Institute). (800hrs)
• NASM (National Association of Sports Medicine) (300hrs) As her interests and skills in the practice grew, she expanded her practice to the classroom and became an instructor, teaching the NASM curriculum ( a 300 hour practical application and classroom coursework) to those interested in becoming NASM certified personal trainers. She is the founder of Ahmiel Personal Training Education and NASM certification prep.
• Licensed Diet Doc Permanent Weight Loss Program clinician. Shannon understood the importance of diet and nutrition in the entire fitness equation. She came to realize that nutrition was the key to unlocking the body’s true potential when combined with a proper training program. Upon her further research and education, she became a licensed Diet Doc Permanent Weight Loss Program clinician for the San Francisco Bay Area. The addition of the Diet Doc Program allowed her to expand her knowledge and provide additional services for her clients.
• Quantum Healing Trauma Release Clinician through the Bridge to Mastery Institute. A year course curriculum to work with the energetic aspects of trauma release and behavioral change. 
• Landmark Graduate of the forum, advanced course, and communications course. 
• Additional Certifications for Reiki, Heart Centered Therapy, and additional strength training as continued education.
  
• Her current studies include: Tantra Kriya, and Ayurveda 
   

As a lifelong learner and practitioner, Shannon has continued to increase her knowledge and understanding of the body, her conviction to nutrition, fitness and energetic awareness has also expanded. 

After 20 years of personal training, transformative nutrition and mindset coaching with 1:1 individuals, Shannon has now shifted to guiding The Green Door Life coaches in their career and personal journey's.

The idea of The Green Door Life took form, when Shannon came to understand that not one person will have the capacity to support another in all of the tenants of health. The Green Door Life has, as a result, grown into a space where a community can flourish through the support of an expanded ecosystem of coaches, community members, and science based education. 

Shannon is the designer of the Signature Green Door Life course curriculum which includes the structure of education, progressive strength training programming, and cadence of information provided to not only yield success in each clients journey, but also to provide the sustainability for clients to embody this transformation for a lifetime.
