“I have worked with Shannon both as a colleague and as a client and I can say that she is the real deal. She is full (and I mean full) of knowledge and experience and has helped many people including myself. I loved my time working with Shannon.”

I was suffering from post-menopausal symptoms. Shannon MacLean from Spruce Tip Nutrition is so thorough and helped me to find the root of the problem and the solutions through nutrition and supplements. I can now officially say that she has provided me with a future that doesn't include all the symptoms I had before. Her treatments have given me more understanding of Nutrition. It has taken some time to get through it all, but I am sure glad that I stuck with it. I feel like a new person! I was very pleased with Shannon's communication. Shannon is very kind, knowledgable and intuitive. I have referred several other people to see her, and they are very pleased as well. I am now well on my way. I have so much more energy, and I feel way more balanced then ever before.

“I was suffering through some postpartum anxiety, and one session with Shannon made huge leaps in my recovery. Meanwhile, my daughter had been having issues with eczema and allergies. Shannon made a great oil for her that seemed to help overnight, and help prevent reoccurrence. She was able to help me narrow down some triggers I didn't think of, and now my little one's skin is so much healthier. Would highly recommend. Shannon looks at the whole picture, and is incredibly knowledgeable. I felt like it was money really well spent.

“I got recommended to contact Shannon MacLean for information on Psoriasis and her helpful and knowledgeable advice has changed my everyday life. In the beginning of developing psoriasis, I had no hope and was getting depressed from the lack of info I had and what the doctors had to say. Doctors prescribed me a form of a chemotherapy drug that would further damage my body more and probably take months to years to reverse the side effects. After leaving the doctors office I contacted Shannon and she broke down every detail to the start of my journey of healing. Shannon was patient in such a hard time in my life, I truly can't thank her enough. I'm now proud to say I have overcome my autoimmune disease. If it wasn't for Shannon I would have never been able to change my lifestyle to work with my psoriasis and prevent it. Not only did she give me supplement suggestions but also helpful websites to visit as well as dietary advice, She answered all my questions when I was feeling overwhelmed and lost. Once again, Thank you Shannon MacLean.”

“Shannon has gone above and beyond what I could have hoped for when reaching out for nutritional health advice. She has helped me work towards having my anxiety in check (I didn’t even know that was possible). She has shown me compassion, empathy and has taught me a wealth of knowledge that I can carry with me through my healing journey. Shannon is more than just a holistic nutritionist. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for change.”

“I met Shannon MacLean because of white spots in my face. I also have been trying to fix intestinal problems for a year now and despite some improvements, I still had not been able to pinpoint the source of the problem. Since meeting Shannon, there has been positive and fast change regarding my stomach issues. I changed my eating habits and i’m still working on changing negative personal beliefs. The recommendations about my diet, my lifestyle and the natural supplements were accurate for my situation. In a few weeks already I could feel a difference in my body. I was fascinated by her ability to explain to me what was happening and to understand why my body was reacting this way. Shannon helped me find a big piece of the puzzle, she gave me hope, and most importantly, she was always available and supportive throughout the process. I am very grateful to have met her and I do not think that I would be where I am with my health if I had not consulted her.”

“I am so grateful for the knowledge that Shannon has shared with me. During my appointment with her I was in awe of the wealth of information she had not only about nutrition, but about natural remedies for some of the issues I was facing. Shortly after beginning her recommendations my body has began to feel better than it has in years.
I reccomend Shannon highly.
No matter what lifestyle you wish to live (omnivore, vegetarian, or vegan) she will help you make sure your body is getting what it needs to feel great.”

“Shannon has more knowledge on food and nutrition than anyone I’ve ever spoke to. She’s worked extremely hard to get to where she is today and it shows. She knows her stuff and she’s passionate about helping others with their dietary needs in a natural and healthy way. She’s truly one of a kind and her knowledge is endless when it comes to food, nutrition, health, and overall wellness. After seeing her and trying out some of her recommendations on food and supplements I noticed improvements with my stress management and my tummy issues almost immediately.

“I am a mom to a daughter with special needs and therefore, my life can be very stressful. I am often busy putting my family before myself. I booked an appointment with Shannon and she was so welcoming and caring. She listened to what I had to say and she provided me with the feedback that I needed. She was able to point me in the right direction, teaching me how to eat healthier and watch what I’m putting in my body. Since our first visit, I have noticed my energy level has increased and I am sleeping much better. I have now added exercise to my routine and am excited to maximize the benefits of my visits with Shannon.”

"Shannon is a wealth of nutrition and health tips. I consider myself knowledgeable in that area and quite healthy but her knowledge is astonishing! I came in with the need to stabilize my autoimmune condition to get pregnant and she went far and beyond with her recommendations, gave me contact of local resources to help me through, etc. A year later and I am still benefitting from that first consultation and the recommendations she prescribed. Thank you Shannon!"

“As a 71 year old retired pharmaceutical executive (including several years with Monsanto), I am probably not the typical candidate to seek out holistic nutrition advice. However, on the advice of our daughter, Erin, I met with Shannon in late December and am very glad I did. She first listened and probed to understand issues (irritable bowel and sleep disruption) which were impairing my full enjoyment of life. She did not challenge my skepticism about organics and non GMO's. What she did do that has helped me set out on a better path, is to encourage me to "Pursue Progress, Not Perfection." As a result, I have made a few changes - herbal teas over 6 daily cups of coffee, reduced gluten intake (I still love the occasional peanut butter and banana onsourdough), significantly increased fibre intake and reduced - virtually eliminated sugar. (I still have an occasional muffin - Progress, Not Perfection). The results after one month are very encouraging. My bowel functioning is back to normal and I am able to sleep through the night without waking every three hours. So, I am on a path to improved nutrition. Based on my increased confidence, I have begun to take the supplements recommended by Shannon. All in all, meeting with Shannon was been very worthwhile.” Thanks!

"I have been struggling with rosacea and very dry skin my entire life. I have used drugstore skin products, rosacea-specific skin care, and natural oils to try and soothe my skin. It was not until discovering Hempa that I have truly found relief. I am so grateful to Shannon for her homemade rosacea remedy."

“Shannon has a special presence. Her consults are focused and very intuitive but also rooted in science. I felt like she has compassion and understanding about my relationship with my health and food and was able to meet me where I was at. I would recommend her to any one ready thrive not just survive.”

“Shannon is my go-to person for helping me understand how my body is working, how to improve my function with small changes, and how my body and mind are working together. Thank you Shannon! I'm so relieved to finally understand what was happening with my digestive system. I thought my symptoms might be much more serious, but Shannon showed me how to get my digestive system going again by making a few simple changes.
