Team Serene
Dr. Shannon Burke
Serene She, Inc. was founded by Dr. Shannon Burke after a culmination of almost 20 years working with girls and women, both as a physician and as a mentor, leader, and coach. While performing her most important and challenging job, as the mother of two daughters, and her work as a Girl Scout leader and softball and running coach, Dr. Shannon became intimately aware of the pressure young girls and women face every day and the lack of resources they have available to them. When anxiety, panic, depression, and chronic stress started to become the conversation concerning younger and younger girls, Dr. Shannon felt the pull to help. By developing classes that achieve not only physical strength, but most importantly, mental and emotional strength, Dr. Shannon has found the secret sauce to finding and maintaining inner calm.
“As a parent, your greatest desire is to raise an emotionally healthy young lady who is confident, brave, and resilient. And then you realize that you, too, have those same goals for yourself as an adult. At every age, it’s important to learn and grow into better versions of ourselves.”
