About Shely

I love to blend my passion for the food/nutrition sciences with helping people understand more about nutrition and health. I started studying Nutrition at NYU where I took my studies abroad to learn about nutrition and healthcare in Italy, Cuba, followed by an internship at a hospital in Jerusalem. I did my Masters in Nutrition at CSUN during my rotations at Cedars-Sinai in LA focusing on Oncology Nutrition. During this time I completed my Masters Thesis on the potential health benefits of orange wine (work-life balance win). I continued with an MBA in Healthcare Innovation because I am passionate about turning our health system into something that prevents people from turning into patients.

Approach to care

I understand how important it is for people to have access to accurate nutrition information amongst all the conflicting messages out there today. I aim to work to help others take their health into their own hands from a holistic, whole-body approach backed by scientific evidence. I believe nutrition must be enjoyable, accessible, and individualized. And of course, fun! I like to have a mix of nutrition education with small goal setting (because some need a little help with implementation) and developing more and more with each session until you have the confidence in your newfound skillset in taking charge of your health and lifestyle.

Your first session with Shely

The first session will be for me to get to know about you and your current habits, so that I can cater recommendations and goals that are unique and individualized to you. Although the first session will be a lot of questions, I always do some nutrition education and helpful tips so that you have something to take home before we work on goal setting and habit building.
