Shelby Hawkins

About Shelby

I’m a passionate Registered Dietitian with a wide variety of experience, including pediatric and adult clinical care, school nutrition programs, and lifestyle nutrition coaching. I specialize in nutritional strategies for individuals looking to optimize and enhance performance and endurance, as well as those struggling with food consistency, clinical conditions, and even someone just looking for a meal plan to improve their everyday life. I’m here to guide you towards your goals with a balanced, sustainable, and realistic nutrition plan. I’d love to help you Nourish your body :)

Approach to care

My approach to care is rooted in the belief that food is a human right and each person is deserving of nutritional care that is realistic, sustainable, and achievable. I believe that food is fuel and we should treat our bodies with respect, giving them the nutrients they need in order for us to be, feel, and perform at our best. I also believe that all foods can fit and love to show my clients a healthy diet is maintainable without restriction or extremes. I will always provide care that is evidence-based.

Your first session with Shelby

Welcome to a transformative journey where I’m committed to helping you find the best version of yourself! Your first session is all about me getting to know you and your goals, as well as creating a trusting partnership. We’ll discuss health history, dietary habits, lifestyle choices, and any additional information you feel comfortable sharing. This will allow us to create a plan that is individualized to you! We’ll work together to set targets that are realistic and achievable. You’ll receive initial insights, tailored recommendations, and an individualized plan. Before we part ways, we’ll outline the next steps, schedule follow-ups, and I will answer any remaining questions to ensure you have a clear picture of the journey ahead. I’m so excited to work with you!
