Connie Shoemaker, ND
Sanesco Clinical Support Director
“Educating Sanesco’s clients is the culmination of a life’s work.”
Beginning when Dr. Connie Shoemaker left the hospital environment to manage a functional laboratory, Genova Diagnostics (formerly Great Smokies Laboratories) in 1987, is when she had continued to increase her knowledge of herbs and biochemistry and made it a journey of love. With her bachelor’s degree in science from Western Carolina University, she had worked in hospital laboratories for the first 12 of her career. Then, personal health challenges led Dr. Connie Shoemaker to discover a new approach to her health and also a determination to share it with others. In 1991, she began teaching and educating innovative practitioners in the U.S. and internationally as a manager of marketing, sales, and customer service.
The addition of her Doctor of Naturopathy degree to her already-outstanding credentials expanded her knowledge and her respect for a more natural approach to healing through balance. At Sanesco, she initially served to oversee the technical development of products and services.
Now, Dr. Connie Shoemaker educates Sanesco’s clients on the application of the NeuroWellness Program™ for their specific patients and how to integrate the NeuroWellness Program with other modalities they offer in their practice. In her personal life, Dr. Shoemaker educates private clients on various health topics.
