Shannon Myers is the Founder of K!ND Active and a health and wellness leader with a lifelong commitment to improving physical health, resilience, and quality of life for individuals and communities. Her career spans fitness training, athletic coaching, and corporate wellness — including facilitating multi-day wellness programs for Nestlé and Purina PetCare, leading triathlon training groups of 30–50 athletes for more than 15 years, coaching high school cross country, and directing strength and conditioning for high school soccer. As an endurance athlete herself, she's completed a marathon, an Ironman triathlon, and numerous triathlons, half marathons, and 5Ks.
In 2008, Shannon experienced a severe viral illness that impacted multiple systems in her body, including her heart and nervous system. Her recovery — with care from Cleveland Clinic and Northwestern Medicine — deepened her conviction that physical health, resilience, and access to supportive care are essential to a hopeful future. She went on to earn certification through the Human Performance Institute in Orlando, Florida, in performance, behavior change, and wellness optimization.
Today, Shannon leads K!ND Active with a mission to give children and families access to physical activity, wellness education, nutrition awareness, and basic needs support — empowering them to build healthier, more hopeful futures.
