Shannon began to use Chinese Medicine for her own health management and felt empowered that her body could heal itself simply with acupuncture and herbs. In her college years she was drawn to the philosophy of Taoism and studied the works of Lao Tsu, Chuang Tsu, and Alan Watts. She was excited to discover that the foundation of Chinese medicine is based on the Taoist principles. This inspired her study Chinese medicine.
