About Angel Shannon, MD, CRNP:
Angel V. Shannon MS, CRNP is a personal development keynote speaker, board Certified Nurse Practitioner and Founder of Seva Health and The Seva Institute. Her inspiring presentations are drawn from over two decades of clinical practice and lifetime study of integrative health and mind-body medicine. Her engaging workshops and seminars teach people how to intentionally create a foundation of specific health practices that will help them achieve better health and continuous personal improvement in every area of their lives.
Angel doesn’t just talk about mind-body medicine, she lives it. As a student of T’ai Chi Chuan and having received her teaching certification in hatha yoga, she is a pioneer in weaving both wisdom traditions into her clinical and private coaching practice.

A graduate of the University of Maryland and a member of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, Angel’s talks, teaching and clinical practice are always one part science and one part storytelling as she shares the inspiring stories of the many people she’s helped successfully lose weight, reverse chronic illnesses and rescue their mental health to reach peak performance in their lives. In addition to managing her busy clinical and coaching practice, Angel is the host of Healthy House Calls With Angel, a podcast filled with tips, tools and strategies to live longer and live better with lifestyle medicine.
