Coach of the Month
Shannon Tomlinson
Wife | Mom | Athlete at Heart | Fast to Faith Coach
“Fast to Faith is more than just learning how to fuel the body. It nourishes the mind, body and soul.”Here’s how it happened.
Her Story: A Broken Road to a Beautiful Way of Life
Shannon has been on a healing path for the last decade.
After an intense autoimmune response following pregnancy, she saw multiple specialists - and still wasn’t getting better.
So she took her health into her own hands. That’s when she discovered functional, root-cause medicine.
Within months of learning how to heal her gut, her health turned around. She changed her diet and her lifestyle, added holistic practices, and functional medicine became her passion.
Then came a setback.
A car accident left her with multiple injuries. She couldn’t work. She gained weight, was eating gluten again, and felt downright miserable.
Her work life. And connection.
The Missing Link
Through prayer and meditation, and by the grace of God, Shannon was led to Dr. Tabatha and Fast to Faith.
With her background in gut healing and functional health, the program spoke to her right away. But God spoke even louder.
Fast to Faith restored her physical, emotional and spiritual well-being.
And it changed her home, too. Shannon says she is a better wife and mother because she now knows how to take care of her whole self.
“There is nothing more powerful than a sisterhood of women thriving in Faith.”Shannon Tomlinson
The Word That Changed Her Path
At the time, Shannon was studying to become a Nurse Practitioner. She was exhausted, and questioning whether this was the path she wanted for the rest of her life.
Then she heard God say:
Tell your story. Walk beside women. Give them the tools and the knowledge to restore their health, too.
“You are right where I needed you to be.”
Whole-Person Healing
Shannon is passionate about whole-person healing - connecting with our innermost selves and believing in the power of spiritual connection.
She shares her messy life story openly, because what once felt like a broken road has led to a beautiful way of life.
What does coaching give her?
It fills her soul.
Makes her heart smile.
Keeps her healthy.
And fulfills her purpose in life.
It has restored her spiritual connection, deepened her relationship with God and grown her confidence as a leader. She genuinely loves what she does.
The Most Rewarding Part
For Shannon, it’s seeing the transformational glow as women heal.
Thinking About Becoming a Coach?
As Shannon puts it, you will take your own healing to the next level.

Get to Know Shannon
Her Morning Rhythm
Well before the kids wake up - early morning coffee, self-reflection and starting her day in gratitude.
Her Anchor Prayer
“God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”
Something You Might Not Know
Shannon is a quietly humble athlete at heart. Her high school basketball team won back-to-back state championships, and she played in five state championships in all - three in basketball and two in soccer. You’ll likely spot her as “that mom” in a pickup game with the kids.
Her Biblical Coffee Date
Shannon would choose any woman! “Coffee time creates conversation, conversation creates connection.” She thrives on human connection and loves to hear inspirational stories.
