Balancing Your Body,
One Babystep at a Time
Take control of your health concerns with a whole body approach so you can live your best life.
Shanon Menard, Owner, Balance and Babysteps Nutrition
Hi! I’m Shanon
I provide virtual one-on-one nutritional counselling in English or French to clients anywhere in Ontario, and offer in-home appointments to clients in North Dundas and surrounding areas.
I use a whole-body approach to assess the root cause of health concerns and work to balance the body systems. I believe in small sustainable changes over time that are realistic to my client’s individual lifestyle.
I help people address their health concerns with nutritional and lifestyle recommendations that are tailored to their individual circumstances.
Who I Help
I teach people how to balance their body systems, acknowledging their unique lifestyles, so they can feel confident in how they nourish their bodies and feel energized while living their best lives. Services are available in English or French.
Adults
Most adults lead busy lifestyles, and things like stress, mental health and blood sugar imbalances can cause digestive upset and other health concerns. I can help you regain control of your health and lifestyle.
Children
It can be challenging to navigate the nutritional needs of your child. I use a family-centred approach to address digestion issues, picky eating, and nutritional challenges as they relate to both neurotypical and neurodiverse populations.

What My Clients Are Saying
I have been working with Shannon for just over a year now and I can not recommend her enough! As someone who was struggling with an unhealthy relationship with food and body image, Shanon has been nothing short of amazing. Her extensive knowledge, patience, and exceptional ability to create an encouraging and empowering environment has significantly aided in my journey towards improved health and self-acceptance.
Her empathetic and kind approach not only helped me address my unhealthy relationship with food, but also supported me in overcoming negative body image issues. With Shannon’s guidance and support, I have been able to make many positive and sustainable lifestyle changes that will not only benefit my physical health, but also my mental health.
I have no doubt that her expertise and compassionate guidance will benefit anyone fortunate enough to work with her in the future.
Rebecca Cinnamon
I’m a newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic and strength athlete. Nutrition has all of a sudden become very important to me. Shanon has been nothing short of amazing. Eating properly used to be so confusing, now, with her help, it has become quite easy, with little to no extra effort.
Her baby steps approach of small changes and reaching little goals adds up quickly to a full on lifestyle change. Shanon is extremely knowledgeable of nutrition. And if she doesn’t have an answer on hand for you, she researches and gets you one promptly. Can’t say enough good about her.
Cameron Tomlinson
After getting through chemo, surgery and radiation for breast cancer, I was put on a couple of drugs to prevent a recurrence. These drugs wreaked havoc on my digestive system, made me very uncomfortable, and affected my quality of life.
I started working with Shanon to see if a change in diet could help. Shanon worked with me to make sure I could still enjoy the treats I love while balancing my diet and lifestyle in a positive way. Her suggestions and advice helped me to work with the drugs to improve my gut health and reduce the negative side effects of them. She analyzed my food journal to find any triggers and made suggestions for small changes.
I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to improve their overall health in a way that works for them.
