Meet the Dietitian...

Hi, I’m Shannon, a Quakertown, PA-based Registered Dietitian/Licensed Nutritionist and owner of Food to Table Nutrition, LLC. I’ve been an RDN for 16 years and have a variety of personal and professional experience in maternal and pediatric nutrition (see services for full listing of specialties). I have extensive experience working with children and teenagers with eating disorders (including family-based therapy) as well as picky eating and weight concerns. I also love helping moms navigate the prenatal through infant nutrition stages. In my practice, I incorporate principles of intuitive eating, functional and culinary nutrition, and creative problem-solving strategies to help my clients. In addition to my experience, I hold a Certificate of Training in Childhood & Adolescent Weight Management.

I am also a wife and mother of 4 amazing children, who are my inspiration and test-kitchen guinea pigs. As a busy mom, I’m passionate about making nutrition practical by helping moms and families improve their meal planning and cooking skills. I also highly value the importance of preventative nutrition by creating positive food experiences and by teaching kids cooking confidence. Outside of work, I enjoy cooking, baking, reading (keeping up with the latest nutrition research) and staying active!

My nutrition journey began when I was a kid. My mom let me get involved in the kitchen at an early age, and one of my favorite pastimes was paging through my family’s Alphabet Cookbook. This grew into a love of cooking and baking. In my teenage years, I began to develop my own food values. During this time, I vacillated between “food freedom” where I chose to eat whatever and however much I wanted, and “food bondage” where I created food rules for myself. All the while, you could still find me paging through cookbooks and food magazines. Finally, somewhere along my journey, I found the delicate balance…where I could eat healthfully, while also enjoying the foods I loved.

Since then, I’ve experienced 4 pregnancies and the various accompanying symptoms of fatigue, morning sickness and cravings. I’m also no stranger to the sleepless nights, fatigue and brain fog that accompany post-partum life. And I’m presently in the thick of raising my 4 children, each with their own unique food preferences and eating habits.

It’s with this knowledge and background that I come ready to help you, your child, and your family…wherever you are at on your journey!
