About Shayla
I am a passionate and dedicated registered dietitian who brings a wealth of experience in nutrition and wellness, even as a newer RD. With a strong foundation built through years of shadowing, interning, and hands-on experience, I combine academic excellence with practical know-how to help clients achieve meaningful and sustainable progress. I have a Masterās degree in Nutrition and a Bachelorās degree in Kinesiology with a concentration in Bioenergetics.
Approach to care
With over six years of experience as a certified personal trainer, I take a whole-body approach to health, integrating both nutrition and movement to create personalized plans that truly support each clientās goals. Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals ranging in age from 5 to 75, allowing me to adapt my approach to meet people where they areāwhether that means supporting a young athlete, guiding a busy adult, or helping older adults manage chronic conditions. I am committed to building supportive, collaborative relationships and believe that health should feel both empowering and approachable.
Your first session with Shayla
During your first session, Iāll take the time to get to know you, including your daily habits, health background, and food history, so that we can build a supportive relationship. Together, weāll set personalized goals and develop a realistic, achievable plan tailored to your unique needs and lifestyle. Whether you're here to manage a health condition, feel more confident in your body, or simply improve your everyday eating habits, we'll work as a team to create sustainable changes that fit into your lifeānot the other way around. My aim is to ensure you feel empowered and confident as we work towards your health and wellness objectives.
