Hi there! I’m Megan Abbott. Nice to meet you!

I have been in the health/wellness industry for about 10 years. I started as a certified personal trainer (through ISSA). I’m a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP) through the Nutritional Therapy Association (NTA) which is basically a holistic nutrition coach. I’m a Functional Blood Chemistry Specialist (FBCS) through the Fundamental Wellness Institute. I’m also a level 2 reiki practitioner. 

I’ve been in the holistic health space for about 7 years and running my own business doing root cause approach coaching for a little over 5 years.

I’ve personally had issues with chronic back and hip pain/sciatica, SIBO, heartburn, chronic constipation, parasites, heavy metal toxicity (mercury and aluminum being the primary ones), anxiety, depression, nervous system dysregulation, inflammation, bloating, and chronic Epstein Barr Virus (EBV).

As for a few fun facts about me, I’m passionate about nervous system regulation, so my interests include being outside and grounding aka earthing, walking, and enjoying the sunshine. I also love listening to music or healing frequencies. 

I'm also really into plant medicines. I have seen the most good come from experiences with Psilocybin and MDMA as a tool for healing. I have used them not only in our practice, but I’ve also used them in my own health journey. 

Hello! My name is Shannon Callery. I'm the lead practitioner with Trifecta Collective. I have been immersed in the health and wellness industry since age 17. I am a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP), Functional Blood Chemistry Specialist (FBCS), and Public Health graduate. I have always been passionate about helping others heal, and my own healing journey has led me to becoming an NTP! 

When I was a child I had severe digestive issues that then turned into awful constipation, where anxiety and depression followed. I spent much of my youth and teen years visiting doctors and specialists trying to get answers. Year by year, my issues got worse, and I felt ignored and unheard by the medical system. I knew there had to be something at the root of my health that was wrong, but I didn’t know what. I decided to take control and start helping myself. When I was 17 years old, I started researching and adjusting my diet and seeing other holistic health practitioners where I was offered food restrictions and different testing that was still missing the root cause. I learned a lot along the way, but ultimately fell into an eating disorder. 

The confusion and fear of food that is created by media and health misinformation took me into a new direction. During the healing phase of my eating disorder, I learned the importance of emotional health, nervous system regulation, and the effects of trauma in the body. After 25 years of life, I finally felt I had control of my healing. After spending more time focusing on regulating my nervous system, I was able to get to the root of my issues and work on healing from mold, parasites, and other toxicities. 

Hi! My name is Brendon McCarville and I’m an associate practitioner with Trifecta Collective. I am a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (FNTP), Yoga Teacher (E-RYT 200, RYT 500), Life and Success Coach and Energy Healer. 

While I experienced gut issues from a young age and ulcers in middle school, my health journey didn’t really begin until my late twenties when I gained a significant amount of weight because of job, relationship and overall life stress without enough support or coping skills to manage it.

In an effort to lose that weight, I tried several fad diets and exercise programs. While I did lose the weight, I developed severe blood sugar issues and nutrient deficiencies that caused other health problems. That’s when I found the functional nutrition world and signed up for the Nutritional Therapy Practitioner program. Through that training, I was able to dramatically improve my health while maintaining my new lower weight. While nutrition made a huge impact for me, I still had lingering issues like hormonal imbalances, chronic fatigue, hypothyroidism and chronic Epstein Barr virus (EBV). 

Then in 2014, a rock climbing injury (caused by over exercising when I had so much fatigue) led me back to yoga. I began practicing regularly and noticed an improvement in my fatigue and my ability to handle the stresses of life. I went through yoga teacher training in 2015 and have been practicing and teaching ever since. 

As I practiced yoga more and explored the yogic philosophy, I became very interested in the energy body and the subconscious mind. Around that same time, I read the book The Biology of Belief and was blown away to learn about epigenetics and the role of environment, beliefs and trauma play in overall health and well-being.

That led me to energy healing and life coaching work. I went through training on nervous system regulation and got certified in PSYCH-K, EFT, hypnosis, TIME Techniques, NLP and Life & Success Coaching.  

After all that, I finally felt like I had all the pieces to the puzzle of my health journey. It has taken more than 10 years, lots of restrictive diets, many different kinds of practitioners, plus significant investments of time and money, but I finally feel empowered around my health and my life.
