Her Story
About Dr. Shannon
Dr. Shannon Denard is a naturopath, neuro-linguistic practitioner, multiple brain integration coach, and wellness practitioner based in Beaumont, Texas, known as "The Wellness Ambassador." With more than two decades in the health and wellness field, she blends science with holistic medicine, drawing on neuroscience, psychology, and spiritual principles to help people reach their full potential. Her path into naturopathy began with a family health experience: her grandmother's diabetes diagnosis at age 40 and her grandmother's own struggle with the disease moved her to pursue a doctorate in naturopathy after earlier studies in dentistry in California. Dr. Denard offers one-on-one and group coaching that unites spirituality, psychology, and consciousness, and she specializes in orthomolecular nutrition, holistic medicine, and diabetes prevention. She developed a diabetes prevention course that earned recognition from the Centers for Disease Control and maintains her own supplement line. Through her practice, Excellent Way Health and Wellness Center, she provides healthy lifestyle change coaching and personal performance empowerment presentations. As a Texas Certified Health Worker, she serves as an integrated health and wellness liaison for her community. Beyond her clinical work, Dr. Denard is the founder of Wellness Embassy TV, a streaming platform launched to give coaches and therapists a stage to share their expertise in conscious living. She has led the Nehemiah Education and Community Development Corporation as CEO since 2006, a nonprofit that provides free education on holistic medicine, and she serves as a United Nations Peace Ambassador. Guided by faith and tenacity, she remains committed to staying rooted in her core values and encouraging others to follow their hearts.
