Shannon Jarvis
- Holistic Health Practitioner
- Certified QRA Diplomat
- Certified MFT Practitioner
- Health Educator
Shannon’s interest in natural health began over a decade ago. After graduating from Bethel University, she began a career in technology at a Fortune 500 company. She enjoyed her work, but longed to truly make a difference in the lives of others. After a short health struggle for which she sought traditional medical care, she was still left searching for solutions. Shannon was seeking to get to the “root cause” of the problem, and not just treat the symptoms. Her passion for natural holistic health was ignited, and motivated her to focus her life in a different direction.
Shannon is passionate about teaching others about natural ways to support their bodies, achieve balanced health through eating whole foods, lifestyle choices, exercise, using appropriate nutritional supplements, detoxification and managing life stressors.
Shannon is certified as a Holistic Health Practitioner, with over eight years experience. Shannon is also certified as a QRA Diplomat (Quantum Reflex Analysis) through Premier Research Labs, MFT (Morphogenic Field Technique), and completed Kinesiology Fundamentals through the Kinesiology Institute and has attended several seminars to stay current on the latest information in integrative health.
In her free time, Shannon spends time with her husband and three school age children. She enjoys exercising, reading, and everything outdoors!
Balanced taps into the body’s energetic field to help determine what is causing the body stress. We use Applied Kinesiology and/or a bionetic device called the SpectraVision to assess imbalances in the body. This computer technology obtains information about the energetic pathways in your body. SpectraVision reads and measures the energy that is traveling through your body through the acupuncture points, acupuncture meridians (rivers of energy related to your organs), and your connective tissue.
This technology gives information about where the stress in your body is and what is likely causing it. SpectraVision can test for over 10,000 different possible stressors. Some of these stressors include; vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes, hormones, bacteria, viruses, parasites, molds/fungi, chemicals, pesticides, pollens, and pet dander.
The human body is made up of nearly 70% water. Stress creates a wave pattern in its reaction to a stressor. A wave is created when we react to stress, similar to throwing a rock into a lake. The multi-channel scan uses electrodes on the right forearm to test skin resistance, while the technology broadcasts a wave for each substance into your body, using a very low voltage that you cannot feel, and measures your galvanic skin response to that signal. To summarize, bioenergetic testing “eavesdrops” on your body’s communication internet for what is out-of-sequence, not connected, and not coherent.
Balanced does not diagnose or treat illness, we balance the stressors that may by underlying. Stress is often the basis of illness, so by reducing/eliminating stress you can promote health and wellness.
In the 1950s Dr. Reinhold Voll, a German physician, began to investigate ways of measuring electric energy flowing through the acupuncture meridians, based on the bio-electric activity of the autonomic nervous system. “Electro-Acupuncture According to Voll,” or EAV, the method is sometimes referred to as “Electro-Dermal Screening” (EDS). The test procedure itself is often called “point testing” or “meridian stress testing”. Scientific developments in recent years, especially in the field of quantum physics, support the idea that there is a way to tap into or “eavesdrop” on the body’s communication system, and to analyze the complex systems of the body.
Our bodies are pure energy at their core. Every cell in your body communicates through electrical signals. The flow of these signals control our brain waves, heart rhythm, nervous system, and the way our cells react to good and bad substances. And, it all impacts the energy that surrounds the body—The Morphogenic Field.
The Morphogenic Field, or M-field, is an extension of the nervous system’s energy field. Many cultures and disciplines recognize this field and give it other names—auras, chakras, life force or chi. By performing the structured MFT procedure, one is able to test what energies or specific factors are stressing and impacting the energy field. And finally, learning what natural supporters help reduce or eliminate that stress.

I had the best experience at Balanced. Shannon was so professional, knowledgeable, empathetic, and accurate. I was in awe by all information she could give me about my health/wellness. Her knowledge in this field is beyond comprehension. I would definitely recommend her to anyone that wants to make improvements/adjustments with their physical and emotional health. Two thumbs up.
Loved my session today with Shannon! I learned so much and was so glad to find an affordable food testing! I’m excited to utilize this clinic for helping my boys with eczema and asthma and for my husband with allergies!
After learning my father had terminal brain cancer, I experienced anxiety, insomnia, body aches and no peace of mind. Although I can’t explain how homeopathic treatment works, Shannon was able to identify these ailments (without her knowing my situation) and treat me accordingly. That afternoon and the days to follow, I felt more calm. Although I am still very sad, I can sleep more peacefully and my body pains are reduced to a point where I don’t need pain-relief medication. It’s rather amazing.
I am SO glad I went to Balanced in Woodbury. Why did I wait for this? It was such an eye opener and this will always be my first plan of attack for any condition. Back in January (after a month, mind you), I was exhausted, achy, anxious and was on round 2 of antibiotics for a “sinus infection”…after seeing her and getting on her remedies (tailored to me), I was better in a few days. No BS. Go see her!
I had my first session with Shannon yesterday and what we discovered was so SPOT ON! Thank you, Shannon for taking all the time you did to help me understand the results so I can make the dietary changes needed for overall wellness! I will be back soon for my follow-u. I highly recommend this service to anyone with allergies or nutritional issues! She even has an Emotional Balance session!
I have been seeing Shannon for 6 months now & I couldn’t be happier- she has been able to address inflammation & mood!! She is available at all times for me & helps with physical as well as mental! I recommend if you need “help” turn to Shannon!
I just saw Shannon for the first time. She was “spot on” for some of the things I have going on. I am still processing the information she provided as well as thinking about the remedy. She seems very patient and supportive.
Shannon is very easy to talk to, listens well, and is very knowledgable. I enjoyed working with her and look forward to my next visit!
I’ve done balance work with Shannon several times over the past couple years & am in the process of doing some now. I was feeling very overwhelmed by everything I am handling day-to-day, so purchased a package of 3 sessions. After the 1st one I felt lighter, more relaxed & could tell my body was letting go of some of the heaviness I felt. This unique work is a very effective (& natural) way to invest in your health & wellness & Shannon makes you feel very comfortable during the process!
