The Well Coach
“Partnering with individuals to navigate change in order to live a healthy, sustainable, and aligned life”
Shannon Lutfring, RN, BSN NC-BC
Holistic Wellness and Integrative Nutrition Coach
Hi, I'm Shannon
I am a Board Certified Nurse Coach with my own private practice based in upstate New York. I know what it’s like to move through incredible discomfort in order to live a more aligned and healthy life. I know what it’s like to leave everything I have known to begin a new journey with an unknown outcome. I know what it’s like to endure unexpected change while also recovering my innate power. There is hope! I believe every human is WHOLE and with the right support, they too can step into the life they desire to live.
How can I help you?
I combine my passion for working one-on-one with individuals with the knowledge and skill set of a nurse coach, to help women get their hormones back in balance. I take a holistic approach in supporting women so they can feel like themselves again and create the life they desire!
Navigating your health can get confusing when you’re unwell, be it physical, mental, emotional, social, or spiritual. I have been the patient and the caregiver. I understand how important it is to feel heard and have your hand held as you begin to make the necessary changes to come back to your natural and balanced state of being. I can help simplify the steps, and keep you on track to feeling better again.

Client Testimonials
“Before I started working with you I felt like I was healing from depression but still stuck in a funk and not moving forward with the things I wanted to do. Now I feel much more hopeful and on track because of all we accomplished in our calls. Some accomplishments included beginning to perform at venues, promoting my reiki services, posting my music again, creating and sticking to aN exercise and meditation schedule, deciding and knowing my college major. So many positives! I would recommend your holistic health coaching to anyone and everyone.”

“In the midst of the COVID19 pandemic, I was in an ongoing battle with an autoimmune disorder and an undiagnosed immunodeficiency…our coaching sessions have helped me learn practices to reduce my stress and anxiety…I have gained more self awareness, confidence, and I am more at peace with my situation and who I am…working with her has helped me understand that even though I may have more hurdles than the average person, I can still do anything I want to with my life and feel like I am in a good place to start.”
– D.M. age 29
“My experience working with you was refreshing and enlightening…I learned by focusing on my well being, I put myself in a good place mentally and am better equipped to handle the day to day things that life throws my way. I have learned both short and long term strategies to help me to improve my overall state of wellness and how to help myself to feel good…You were the help that I didn’t know I needed.”

“I was feeling tired, overwhelmed, and anxious about upcoming changes along with changes I wanted to implement by myself. These sessions helped me take all my anxieties and hopes and make a plan for improvement. I also discovered the reasons I wanted to make changes. I learned that to be there for my children, I need to first take care of myself. Self care can be small changes attainable by anyone in spite of a busy schedule. Thank you so much for bettering my life, Shannon!”

“Before I started working with Shannon I had struggled with weight since childhood. I was 10 years post bariatric surgery and had gained back much of the weight I lost immediately following the surgery. Just prior to meeting Shannon, I had started to get some traction with weight loss again through diet and exercise but I was beginning to realize that I needed even more support if I would be able to make the weight loss sustainable this time. I found Shannon’s gentle but persuasive approach to getting me to connect mind, body and spirit truly transforming. I found Shannon to be a gifted listener who was able to glean from our discussions some behaviors that were preventing me from living fully and achieving my goals. I appreciated that we would “co-create” goals and follow-up actions (homework) that were meaningful and realistically achievable and allowed me to get some “wins” every week. This work has resulted in weight loss, but also improved my relationships with family and how I “show up” at work. Shannon has given me some tools that will allow me to continue to achieve the goals I set for myself including sustained weight loss, and how I care for myself and others. I would recommend Holistic Wellness Coaching with Shannon to anyone who is ready to make some changes in their life and feel like they need 1:1 support and guidance to put them on a healthy path forward.”

“Before I started working with Shannon, I was unable to view the transition period that I am currently going through in a positive way. Working together allowed me to shift my perspective on the time that I have right now in between accomplishing something that I have been working towards for the past few years (grad school) and now trying to figure out what is next. Instead of allowing my thoughts to be filled with fear and uncertainty, she helped me to identify my values and what is truly important to me to help guide my decisions going forward. Through active listening and collaborative conversations, Shannon helped me to acknowledge my inner voice. I feel that I have regained the control and confidence I need to navigate this time in my life and for that I am so grateful! I would recommend Holistic Wellness coaching with Shannon to anyone who is looking for support to take action and create positive change in their life.”

“I was moving through a lot of changes before our calls. Your coaching brought mindfulness to what I was doing and helped me form intention around my daily. It was really good to speak out loud what actions I was taking and what I could improve upon with a couple focused goals. I discovered that in order for me to prioritize my goals, I needed to put the actionable step in my calendar so it was a commitment. I would recommend your coaching to any young person who could use guidance, unfit/unhealthy personnel, or anyone struggling with chronic health problems.”
