Encouragement, empowerment & perseverance, I'm there every step of the way! For the last 20 years, I've worn many hats (esthetician, barber, makeup artist, etc.) while working to help people feel more confident in their physical appearance. However, I realized I wasn’t being fulfilled. I now believe that real beauty radiates from within. My true passion is wanting to help those encountering the sa
me difficulties I’ve struggled with myself over the years: food sensitivities, gut health imbalances, weight struggles, poor self-image/insecurities, and learning self-love. My love of eating clean and my passion for nutrition began with my first visit to a local farmer's market. Seeing all of the beautifully colorful fruits, vegetables, and fresh herbs as well as speaking to the farmers about organic farming and their practices really sparked my curiosity. This evolved into a love of the holistic mentality which led me to study essential oils and aromatherapy as well as learn about vitamins, herbs, and supplements. I found myself absolutely fascinated by the way our bodies process, utilize food and its elements to absorb their nutritional value. My continuing curiosity and passion have only grown over the years, so I made the decision to heed my true calling and pursued certification from The Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN). My empathetic nature and the knowledge gained both from personal experience and professional training have enabled me to pursue my passion, becoming a Holistic Wellness Coach! I'm here to help you embrace the skin you're in! I don't believe we should all strive to look exactly the same. We need not all look like magazine covers; I cannot condone the notion that we should all be waifs. We're all different, extraordinary individuals. That's a beautiful thing. I myself am a curvy, *fluffy* woman. However, I strive to eat a clean, organic diet. I avoid foods that I know are unhealthy, or problematic. I find these lifestyle choices far more important than being a "skinny Minnie". Via my personal journey and extensive studies, I’ve discovered that true beauty is fully connected inside and out. Glowing skin starts from within by way of a healthy diet that facilitates a balanced gut biome, a great sleep routine, and finding your inner joy. Understanding how these are all connected has come full circle for me and now I can't wait to share this with you! I am now deeply committed and well equipped to help *YOU* on your wellness journey. My goal is not only to motivate, guide, and inspire you but also to empower you...with the tools to love yourself while getting your health and wellness on track! Warmest Regards, Shane B.
