About Shawnel
Hi, I’m Shawnel, a Registered Dietitian with a background in clinical and functional nutrition. I specialize in helping people who feel like they’ve “tried everything” but still aren’t getting answers—especially when it comes to gut health, metabolic conditions, and complex or chronic symptoms. My approach focuses on understanding the root cause of what’s going on in your body, not just managing symptoms. Whether you’re dealing with digestive issues, blood sugar concerns, or ongoing health frustrations, we’ll work together to create a plan that’s realistic, sustainable, and tailored to you.
Approach to care
I believe nutrition should feel supportive, not overwhelming. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach—your plan should fit your life, your preferences, and your goals. I focus on helping you build habits that are realistic and sustainable, while also addressing the underlying factors that may be impacting your health. My goal is to help you feel better, understand your body, and make changes that actually last.
Your first session with Shawnel
Our first session is really about getting to know you. We’ll talk through your health history, symptoms, eating patterns, and what you’ve already tried. From there, we’ll start connecting the dots and come up with a clear, realistic plan you can actually follow. This is a judgment-free space—you don’t need to have everything figured out before we start.
