Shannon Judge is a wellness-rooted Executive Coach who guides clients through transformation by healing trauma (without re-experiencing it), learning to thrive in a post-pandemic world, and upgrading your human potential in body, mind and spirit for a more fulfilling life. Shannon identifies and clears imbalances that can create symptoms, health challenges, and eventually disease.

Through coaching and the use of neuroscience-backed techniques that stabilize the nervous system, she teaches you to integrate tools into your life to stay balanced, regulated and in your flow zone. Shannon is a natural leader and teacher with a background in holistic health, meditation, breathwork (pranayama)/yoga, psychology and luxury hospitality.

25 years ago Shannon spent seven years in the organic nutrition and nutraceuticals field supporting clients such as Hippocrates Health Institute and Brian Clement, David Wolfe and Nature’s First Law, Dr. Gabriel Cousens and the Tree of Life Center, Dr. Chiu-Nan Lai and Lapis Lazuli Light and others on behalf of the Dalai Lama as they became globally-renowned epicenters of healing, rejuvenation and longevity. Learning from such icons of optimal health and consciousness and assisting Network Spinal Analysis chiropractors after college shaped her and fueled her desire to help others heal themselves.

Shannon’s journey has led her through a career in luxury hospitality in NY, Deer Valley, Park City and Palm Beach as a Sommelier and operations leader, curating food and beverage programs with some of the nation’s most talented Chefs in James Beard-, Wine Spectator- and Michelin-recognized restaurants and boutique hotels. The intersection of holistic health and wellness with luxury hospitality is a vibrant emerging sector in which Shannon is immersed.

But burnout was the catalyst that forced her to slow down and take steps that revealed her true purpose. A period of extreme loss and the subsequent healing process that is integral to emerging stronger is what brought Shannon to the work she does today. It was a very painful, rocky road for some time, with a tsunami of grief that felt unsurvivable. She intuitively built a hand-selected support team of the most skillful therapists, coaches and holistic practitioners to guide her through it. For the love and care of these unparalleled women and her loved ones, Shannon is immeasurably grateful and wouldn’t have been able to heal alchemically and emerge so wholly without them.

In the span of 8 months, Shannon moved cross-country twice (in different directions), experienced the destruction of what she thought would be her future as a hospitality business owner, unexpectedly lost her father very suddenly as he was about to move next door to her in a new state (for the first time since she was 9), and found herself entangled in the most toxic 5-star hospitality environment she’d ever seen, reporting to/covering for whom she would later find out was a high-functioning, Brooks Brothers-clad heroin addict (RIP), cheated out of an $18k bonus, and quite literally staring at a looming Category 5 hurricane just 50 miles off the coast of Palm Beach. As this beast creeped 2 mph closer, inch-by-inch, she was utterly depleted, feeling like a shell of herself with nothing left to give, and hanging on for dear life, experiencing an equivalent storm within. The one thing she could do to save herself was to finally say NO, resign, take the space and time she so needed to HEAL. She was forced to learn boundaries, the hardest lessons of her life.

With the loving assistance and deep wisdom of her support team, she began the process of finding her self again, excavating and rebuilding, stone by stone. But first, she slept. And wept. For many months. She spent time in New England and the Northeast with family, she swam every day in the sapphire blue waters of the sea and her pool, soaking up the healing sunshine, allowing herself to dream, reflect, cry, write…and eventually, to create.

Vitality Coaching & Wellness was born from this healing journey and discovery of one’s true calling. Shannon pursued education, training, mentorship and certification as an Executive Coach and energy healer. She always knew her life’s work would culminate in guiding others to the sacred work of healing themselves. Today she draws from a rich toolbox to support her cherished clients on their unique journeys of transformation, healing and achieving greater vitality and fulfillment in all areas of life, love and work.
