Hi, I’m Shannon.

I’m an occupational therapist based in Seattle with advanced training in feeding therapy, including certifications in the SOS (Sequential Oral Sensory) and AEIOU approaches. I founded Sprouts to provide individualized, creative, and person-centered feeding support that honors each individual’s unique needs and experiences. My practice embraces a body-neutral philosophy and recognizes that all foods can have a place in a balanced, healthy relationship with eating.

My journey into feeding therapy is deeply personal. I experienced a feeding disorder throughout childhood and young adulthood, and the process of building a positive relationship with food has been transformative. That lived experience fuels my passion for this work. Becoming a parent has added new depth to my perspective—witnessing my child explore solids for the first time has been a powerful reminder of how personal and meaningful the feeding process truly is.

I am a trauma-responsive therapist who practices through a neurodiversity-affirming lens and is dedicated to supporting the LGBTQ+ community. My goal is to foster safe, inclusive, and empowering spaces where every individual feels seen, respected, and supported.
