Hi, I’m Shelby

As someone who navigated chronic illness from childhood and spent years struggling with my relationship with food and body, I intimately understand the challenges you're facing.

Through my personal journey and professional training as a Registered Dietitian, I've discovered that true wellness comes from working with your body, not against it.

Now, I help women make peace with their food, bodies, and health so they can share their light with the world and live fully alive.

"The glory of God is man fully alive" - St. Irenaeus

The good news is you can…

Care for your body and health well, without being controlled by rules, rigidity, and anxiety.

Learn to embrace food as nourishment and pleasure, without the fear.

Overcome body shame and accept the freedom to be more fully present in your life.

What my clients are saying

  • My life has been transformed through working alongside Good Body Nutrition. Within the first preliminary meeting, Shelby helped me find answers that I had sought elsewhere for a decade! And Shelby's support continued strong over months of recovery from disordered eating. I've made phenomenal progress, I'm so grateful for this experience, and I highly recommend Good Body Nutrition for anyone who struggles in their relationship with food

    Amanda S.

  • Shelby worked with me to meet some very specific goals, and her advice was so helpful to my understanding of how to manage some of the health conditions I live with from a dietary perspective.

    Lisa P.

  • I met Shelby very providentially at a Women's Conference. I had just been diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, and I was doing a very strict diet, and I was having a horrible time with it! It was basically like a cleanse, but it was not working. I was very stressed out about food and what I could and couldn't eat, because the author who I was following was swearing by her diet plan. Shelby helped me put the pieces back together of my diet plan and also helped me incorporate new foods into my diet that are supportive and helpful of ulcerative colitis. I appreciated her well-researched and sound advice. I am now back to a normal, healthy diet, and I have great variety in what I eat. Plus, I enjoy what I am eating again!

  • Leaving session with Shelby always left me feeling grounded and rooted in my values and beliefs around food and my body. Shelby always brought a sense of calm and a realistic perspective to these conversations around food and body image that can otherwise feel confusing and overwhelming.

HOW IT WORKS

Reach out to schedule a free, 15-minute Discovery Call

During this call, you can ask any questions you may have about the Good Body Nutrition approach, process, and expected outcomes. From here, we can schedule your initial consultation and start the journey toward your goals.

Initial Consultation

Initial Consultation (60 minutes): $135

In our first session, we will identify your goals and support needs.

Together, we will explore where you’ve been, where you are, and what steps we need to take to get you to where you want to be. This history-gathering session is foundational for our continued work together.

Continuing Care

Follow-Up (45 minutes): $90

After our initial consultation, we meet as often as needed to support you and move you toward your health and wellness goals. Each session is unique and individualized to your needs at that time.

Challenging the negative relationship you have with your food and body is HARD.

In fact, it is often scarier than staying on the path you know--even when you know at your core that the familiar path is not what you actually want for your life.

But you can do hard things.

And by taking one recovery-oriented step at a time, you can carve out a new path for your life that truly aligns with your values, and embraces the God-given peace and freedom that is available to you.

The next step is starting.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • I work primarily with women 18 years and older.

    Individuals may find me an especially good fit for their needs if they value being able to incorporate a Christian/Catholic worldview and approach into their counseling, and if they are open to exploring a new understanding of health and wellness that may be different from the diet-focused education so many of us received growing up.

    If your main/only goal for nutrition counseling services is to lose weight, we may not be a good fit. (Here's why)

    That said, I find that most of my clients who have weight loss goals also have other underlying health goals that we can identify together and intentionally work toward. You don't have to, "love the body size you are in" to work with Good Body Nutrition, you just need to be open to considering an approach that uses parameters other than weight to measure health and progress.
