Welcome to The Restoration Playground.
Here, you can let yourself lean into an entirely new way of relating to your body and health.
Perfection not required (or desired)!
The Restoration Playground is an extraordinary 4-month holistic foundations experience that ditches diet culture, teaches you to unashamedly embrace your individual needs, and helps you step into the habits that will support the foundation for the rest of your health journey.
Steeped in an attuned nervous system-based approach, you won't find a rigid hustle & grind here. You literally can't get it wrong. This is a program that supports you at every stage. It grows with you.

Invitation to join us ... come work with your body, not against her. The class is currently running live, and you are definitely not too late!
If you're like most of my clients, here's what I know about you:
-
You are a driven, ambitious woman who has been able to get her shit together in so many facets of your life ... except maybe your health. Maybe you wonder why you keep letting yourself down.
-
Alternatively, you may be someone who follows through at all costs, but it feels so forced and punishing ... and you really want to experience a different relationship with your body and health journey: a relationship of trust, ease, and pleasure.
-
You are tired of the punishing protocols and endless diets. You've been there, done that, tried that too many times to count. You suspect you're missing something important in your health journey, but you don't know what it is. (Ahhhh! You probably are, but it's likely not what you suspect it is, but don't worry, we will dig deep and find it.)
-
You are tired of being dismissed or dictated to by practitioners who don't get it. Maybe you're sensitive or neurodivergent and have different needs. Maybe you have a history of trauma or significant stress that's impacting the way your body heals. You're ready to spend time with a practitioner who truly gets it, and who will honor your unique makeup, not ignore it.
-
You want to feel fully alive in your body, increase your energy, reduce inflammation, reverse chronic health conditions, and improve your gut health ... but maybe you also want to enjoy coffee and a cocktail sometimes and don't want to live on a restrictive plan forever. (Of course, and same here!) What if you get to do both?
-
You have taken in so much information that you are left wondering what's really important and what's not. You are irritated by all the health gurus out there spouting conflicting information ... and have grown weary with all the nutrition noise and confusing exercise advice that just leaves you feeling worse.
You are not alone, my friend. So many women are craving a different health experience right now.
I have worked with thousands of patients and hundreds of women in my holistic wellness practice.
Your experience of the medical system is, unfortunately, a reality right now. The norm has become 7-minute visits of symptom whack-a-mole or referrals to specialists where you are left scratching your head with all the ways your symptoms fit together.
Everything seems so ... disconnected.
​
Of course, there is a time and place for the current medical system; it's just not going to be the place that helps you build true connection to your body or the vitality that you crave.
​
The truth is, though, vitality will never come through the hustle. That's why I created The Restoration Playground.
After 4 months on The Restoration Playground, you will
We are digging deep and letting it be lighthearted. We will explore:
-
all the ways diet culture has really impeded connection with our bodies, creating never-ending rules that actually harm us. We will shift into a deeper understanding of mindful eating through a lens of replenishment and balance.
-
a nervous-system based, personalized diet, movement, and hydration. True cellular hydration is not just water!
-
how to support your microbiome and gut health to improve your digestion and immune health
-
mindset and behavioral strategies to help you keep your word to yourself when you most want to throw in the towel and give up!
-
how to approach your health and wellness through a lens of discipline and devotion. Though this may sound scary, this is actually the most loving, nourishing thing you can do for yourself. This doesn't mean rigid rules, but instead, a gentle structure that will help you increase your energy and decrease your inflammation.
The Restoration Playground experience includes:
Hi, I'm Shannon Stockwell, MS, PA-C, and I have worked with thousands of women over a decade. I believe:
-
Health is so much more than a never-ending to-do list. It should include all facets of our human experience: body-mind-spirit and it should allow us to feel fully alive, not create more stress.
-
Our bodies are capable of what many would call miracles. I believe many medical issues that are deemed permanent are actually reversible or able to be put into remission - or at least able to massively reduce symptoms when you know how to support your body.
-
That no matter what size body you are in, you deserve to be treated with kindness and respect. As someone who has lost 130+ pounds, I have endured my fair share of medical trauma and it wasn't pretty. It was actually pretty painful.
-
Women deserve better than 5-minute visits and disconnected medical care that doesn't consider all parts of you.
-
That the deepest healing contains presence, playfulness, and pleasure.
-
That all parts of you matter and that you get to have what you desire.
