Danielle most commonly uses Functional Blood Chemistry, Bioresonance Scans, HTMA (hair tissue mineral analysis) and other specialty testing as needed (Dutch, Nutrient Profiles, etc.). She believes in testing and not guessing; however, she does not believe in mindless testing, and instead takes a methodical approach in testing and retesting recommendations. She follows a true root cause approach through a proper order of operations and testing. Her goal is to help you uncover the root causes of your symptoms and to restore balance within. Because after all, you were created to thrive.

Additionally, she deeply understands the struggle of chronic symptoms after walking through her own journey with Lyme and Co-infections, Epstein Barr, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, mold toxicity, and more. Danielle is here to spread hope through healing and would be honored to guide you in your journey towards better health.

In 2012, Shannon achieved a significant milestone by earning her Master's degree in Guidance and Counseling from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.

Dani

Dani Forbess is a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP) and Yoga Instructor. In her former career, she has served communities in Belfast, Northern Ireland, Cape Town, South Africa, Los Angeles, and the greater Pacific Northwest; she now lives in Boise, Idaho.

As a passionate advocate of wellness, she believes that the body is our greatest source of wisdom. Her own healing journey began when she developed an autoimmune disorder in the early 1980’s as a child. After undergoing years of acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine treatments, she was able to overcome this condition. Nutritional deficiency led her back to the healing journey with the development of clinical depression in her 20’s, hypothyroidism in her 30’s, and Epstein Barr after the birth of her third child. She was determined to jump start her own healing once again and listen to her body’s call for support.

After serving as a pastor for twenty years, she made the decision to become an NTP and to pursue a Masters in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine. Her own health experience continues to teach of the body’s innate capacity to heal. The right support and environment does not require perfection, but intention. Her coaching expertise allows clients to refine their intentions so that a clear map to healing can emerge.

Dani practices food as medicine and movement as healing. She has been a strong advocate of healing and wellness for her husband and her three almost grown children. You can find her researching biochemistry and human physiology, teaching yoga, walking her dogs, or tending her kitchen garden.
