I'm proud to be your local health coach, Longmont... Welcome to feeling good.
Negative messages prevail too often in the approach to weight, food, and diet. What do you think of when you hear the word 'diet'? Is it about deprivation and restriction? Counting calories or tracking intake? Maybe if you just "did it right" or had more willpower you'd get the results you want?
Well, no more of that.
Let's eliminate the confusion around what to eat and take a revolutionary stance, beginning with viewing food as a pleasurable, nourishing, experience. Let's remove punishment as a strategy and reconnect joyfully with our bodies and how they move.
As a Certified Mind Body Coach who has trained extensively in dynamic eating psychology, I have learned to help my clients reach their goals by using strategies and nutrition principles that are not only doable and sustainable, but that yield lasting results.
Let's Connect...

Hi, I'm Shelby
I'm really glad you're here. As a health coach, I specialize in the psychology of eating and have trained in diverse areas of health and wellbeing. My approach is highly individualized with a focus on and passion for women's health in areas such as: binge eating, weight loss, body image, personal training/exercise/ fitness, energy, and fatigue.
My passion in life has been to help people feel good about themselves. As a cosmetologist for 27 yrs, I have listened to clients talk about body image for a long time. My Mind Body Coach program focuses on helping clients to feel nourished in all aspects of their life, to find self love and to establish a mind/body connection. As a personal trainer, I help people feel a stronger connection to their physical body while using my intuitive nature to help you find more joy and fulfillment through a balanced, nourished and healthy lifestyle.
Wellness programs I specialize in
Whether you're looking to find help with how to stop binge eating or increase your energy, I can help you achieve your health goals. Remote sessions are available for all of my services.
Health Coaching
If you're searching for a "health coach near me" you've come to the right place. An introductory session is a great place for us to start and get to know one another.
Binge Eating
Binge eating affects more than just our physical health. If you need help with emotional eating and/or binge eating I can offer effective, gentle, and lasting solutions.
Weight Loss
Weight loss isn't about deprivation and calorie-counting anymore. In my approach, how we relate to food and ourselves are key factors in achieving sustainable weight loss.
Body Image
Body image issues impact so many of us. My coaching techniques on body image will help you recognize & break free of societal ideals & find your healthy, ideal body image.
Personal Training,
Exercise, & Fitness
No more using exercise as a punishment. As your personal trainer, I will help you find movement & exercise that you enjoy.
Energy & Fatigue
What's causing you to feel fatigued may not be what you think it is. Powerful feelings such as stress and anxiety can have a deep effect on you and your energy levels.
Redefining what it means to "eat healthy" and "be healthy"
It is my stance that journey of health, fitness, and even weight loss can be a wholly pleasurable experience. This is not to say that we don't face challenges in these areas, but my approach takes those challenges into account and changes them into superpowers. By using Dynamic Eating Psychology, we look at your relationship with food and how it is interwoven into and is intimately connected to our other primary relationships of family, work, intimate relationships, and our search for fulfillment.
Diet & How One Eats Affects How a Person Feels
A coach will assist their clients in understanding how important their diet is in keeping a positive mental status. Once individuals realize their diet can either improve their mood or cause declines, they can then take that knowledge and make important changes.
When individuals begin stress eating, they often consume foods that exacerbate their stress levels. A healthy eating plan is not enough to help people overcome mood inconsistencies and stress. It takes a concerted effort and a diet that is focused on stress alleviation, by consuming whole foods that align with the needs of the body. This is where a healthy lifestyle coach can help transform a person’s overall health and wellbeing

Gut Health is Integral for Good Mental Health
Everyone has heard the saying, “You are what you eat!” and, now, scientists have proven this adage to be true. It is now understood there is a solid connection between the gut and the brain. And science is uncovering just how important having a healthy gut biome is and plays a major role in how you feel, not just physically, but emotionally as well.
You've heard of having a 'gut feeling' about something? Well, there's a reason for that. Our digestive systems operate almost like a second brain with a system that scientists call the Enteric Nervous System which has significant influence over your mood, health, and the way you think.
Gut health is also one of the primary focuses for natural weight loss and one cannot expect to lose weight until they have addressed the health of their gut.
Eating Psychology Coaches Help Individuals Overcome Poor Eating Habits
When it comes to hiring a health coach online, individuals need to ensure the coach they choose is highly educated and experienced in nutritional psychology. A person that has developed an unhealthy relationship with food needs an eating psychology coach who can help them make the right choices and stick with the best eating plan for their overall health needs. Studies have revealed a wellness program offers complementary care to
traditional forms of mental health treatment.
One of the primary reasons people hire eating coaches is because they want to lose weight naturally. A virtual health coach helps their clients identify any body image issues, along with mental health concerns. With the introduction of foods high in omega 3 fatty acids, fiber, probiotics, and vitamin D comes improved mental health and overall wellbeing. A MIND BODY EATING COACH offers their clients a targeted approach to eating that is freeing rather than limiting.

Finding the right certified coach is essential for helping people connect food with good overall health. The health of the body, mind, and soul all develop in the gut.
