About Shanique Allen

Shanique Allen is a health coach based in Seattle, Washington. After several big life changes, she fell into a rut, unsure how to reconcile who she once was with who she wanted to be. Shanique overhauled her mindset around her life, nutrition and health to feel like someone she wanted to be. Now, her mission is to empower other women to embrace themselves where they are, use those life experiences as fuel and build a wellness blueprint that will be as dynamic as their lives are.
