I’m Shanell, the heart behind Stimulated Wellness. My journey into wellness wasn’t a straight path—it was something I had to find for myself. I grew up in Pittsburgh, PA, where I witnessed firsthand how lack of care, support, and knowledge can deeply impact a person’s life. I watched family and friends struggle with disease, mental health issues, drug abuse, and even death, often because they didn’t have access to the tools or guidance to know that a better life was possible. For a long time, I carried the weight of those experiences, not realizing how much they shaped me. I, too, went through periods of self-doubt, exhaustion, and unhealthy cycles, but something in me always searched for more—for healing, for understanding, for change. That search led me to yoga, holistic nutrition, and deep self-work, and over the past 15 years, I’ve dedicated myself to learning how to break cycles and create real transformation. Now, my purpose is clear: to help others do the same. I want people to know that healing is possible, no matter where you come from or what you’ve been through. You don’t have to stay stuck in patterns of pain, trauma, or self-doubt—there’s a way forward, and I’m here to walk that path with you.
