About Shaelyn
Growing up in Hawai'i, food was central to our culture—it brought us together and shaped our lives. Yet, despite this deep connection to nourishing foods, I saw health disparities affecting my loved ones and community. It wasn’t normal, I realized, for health issues to be so widespread, sparking my curiosity about nutrition's true power. Driven to make a difference, I became a registered dietitian, then specialized in Clinical Nutrition and integrative and functional medicine. My practice is grounded in uncovering root causes and offering solutions that go beyond symptoms, committed to making a lasting impact on individual lives.
Approach to care
In my practice, I focus on each individual's unique nutritional challenges, working collaboratively to find sustainable solutions. I believe in creating a supportive space where every voice is heard, and every journey to health is respected. Whether it's managing a specific health condition or enhancing overall wellness, I'm here to provide personalized guidance and unwavering support. I understand the struggles of dietary changes firsthand and approach each patient with empathy and understanding, taking the time to truly understand each person’s story. My goal is to tailor recommendations that fit seamlessly into each client’s life, making the path to wellness feel achievable and supported.

Hobbies
I enjoy getting lost in a good book or an engaging podcast. Weight lifting and walking keep me active, while hiking—especially to any spot with water—brings me peace. Snowboarding keeps winters exciting, especially with the abundant bruises (still learning!), and my Great Dane is always by my side for cuddles and outdoor fun.
