HI! I'm Shannon. I'm the Clinical Herbalist and Owner of The Nomad Apothecary.
You might be wondering how I can make these promises, such as putting your back in the driver's seat
of your health, attaining health and wellness, and more good days than bad.
Well, I can say that because I was where you are now. I have end stage endometriosis, ADHD, and
am in peri-menopause. I used to feel powerless over my health and circumstances, just along
for the ride, no matter how bad it was. But around age 22, something changed for me.
I was told by my Gynecologist that my endometriosis had progressed so quickly, that I would never be able to
have biological children, my pain was probably going to be poorly controlled from now on, and basically
to just suck it up and try this new type of birth control.
I left the office feeling hopeless, in despair, and like I had no say in my health goals and journey.
I decided I was not going to accept what he told me. I wasn't going to accept feeling out of control anymore.
I started researching and I found herbs that might help and massage and chiropractor. I found supplements that said they would help. And I started taking them all. Doing it all.
It took a few years, but I found a combo of herbs that made me feel so much better and helped with the pain
more than any pill they had ever thrown at me. I found a wild yam cream that helped my body balance
my hormones and as such kept my endometriosis from progressing as fast.
I started going to a massage therapist specializing in women's health and pelvic issues.
I saw a chiropractor weekly.
I changed my diet up.
I got onto an exercise routine.
And at 28, I became pregnant and had a baby.
My symptoms worsened after her birth and I again went down the same path. I changed up some herbs
and some supplements that would work best with breastfeeding and postpartum hormone changes.
And I managed my symptoms on my own from 22 until 32.
At 32, my periods became worse and I started passing softball
size blood clots during my periods. The pain was unbearable. Nothing was working.
I ended up deciding on a hysterectomy. It was a good thing I did. My procedure was scheduled for 2 hours.
It ended up being 6 hours.
Endometriosis had adhered by bladder and rectum to my uterus and it took the doctor 4 hours alone to
detach my bladder from my uterus and another hour for the rectum. The last hour was clearing up scar
tissue and sewing me back together.
In my room later that night, my doctor came to see me. She wanted to know why I hadn't come in sooner, because
from what she saw inside me, I *had* to be in excruciating pain every day.
I told her about my herbs and my supplements and how much they helped. That while I did have *some* pain
it wasn't near as bad as she thought it should have been. She was amazed.
I still control my endometriosis symptoms and peri-menopausal symptoms with my herbal blend I customized
for myself.
My journey to finding happiness and health, despite having endometriosis, inspired me to become a certified
herbalist. I wanted to discover and learn more about these wonderful plants Nature has given us to help heal
our bodies, if only we are willing to receive her benefits.
Two and a half years ago, at the beginning of 2019, I was diagnosed with ADHD. My life had been slowly
spiraling again since my hysterectomy in 2017 and I had no idea what was wrong. A friend of mine had just
been diagnosed in her 40's with ADHD and she was posting on Facebook all her symptoms and reasons
she finally sought out help. And I'll be damned if I didn't have nearly every single symptom.
I went to my doctor and he sent me for testing and I came back off the charts, ADHD-inattentive. Well that explained a few things!
I went on stimulant medication because I needed some quick relief and I was immediately feeling better and worse
at the same time.
While the medication helped with some of my most distressing symptoms, it also gave me distressing side effects.
It completely killed my appetite and made it hard for me to remember to drink or eat.
I felt like a zombie some days and others like I was still in a fog.
So, like before, I went exploring for ways to manage my symptoms with herbs and supplements.
At the same time, I went back to school for 2 more herbalism degrees. And I graduated in 2020 and early 2021,
with my Master Herbalist and Advanced Master Herbalist Degrees, both with Honors.
And just like before, I found a regimen of herbs and supplements that has helped manage my ADHD.
I have successfully gone off my stimulant medications and feel like I did on them, without the icky side effects!
*I want to do the same thing for you!!
*I want you to have more good days than bad and feel in control of your health and wellness.
*I want to help you in your journey, like I helped myself, and help you learn how to listen to your body,
learn what it needs, which herbs are best for your body, and how to get back in the
driver's seat of your health instead of feeling like you're spinning out of control.
I started my herbalist business back in 2013, under the name Faded Leaves, and it was going very well.
Life happened and I ended up taking a 5 year break. I restarted it, and rebranded, as The Nomad Apothecary,
in 2019 and have slowly been building back up to taking on clients and helping others regain their health.
I have such a passion burning within me and I can't wait to show you how this passion
and how the power of herbs combined can help you too reach your health goals
and get back in the driver's seat of your health.
I am so excited to work with you!!
