About Shelby

Hi, I’m Shelby, a registered dietitian and intuitive eating coach dedicated to helping people develop a more peaceful and balanced relationship with food. I believe everyone deserves to eat without guilt, stress, or confusion—no matter their background, body size, or health history. My goal is to meet you where you are, support your individual needs, and help you reconnect with your body’s natural cues. Whether you’re navigating emotional eating, managing a health condition, or trying to break free from diet rules, I’m here to walk alongside you.

Approach to care

I take a weight-inclusive, compassionate, and individualized approach to nutrition. That means no restrictive plans, no judgment, and no pressure to change your body. Instead, we’ll focus on what feels good and sustainable for you. I use intuitive eating and Health at Every Size principles to guide our work, while also considering your personal preferences, culture, health conditions, and life circumstances. You are the expert on your body, and I’m here to provide guidance, support, and practical tools to help you thrive.

Your first session with Shelby

In our first session, we’ll take time to understand your unique story—your past experiences with food, your current challenges, and your goals for working together. I’ll ask thoughtful questions to get to know you better, but there’s no pressure to share anything you’re not ready to. This session is about creating a safe and supportive space where you feel heard and respected. From there, we’ll begin building a plan that fits your life—not the other way around.
