My approach
to wellness.

Straight out of college I was living my dream of working in film and television production. I worked hard, played hard, ate junk, drank too much, and ran on coffee. I loved it. I was in my twenties and I felt invincible.

Until I didn’t. I gained a lot of weight and lost a lot of energy. I felt sick and tired. My career, finances, and relationships floundered. I lacked motivation and I felt lost. Clearly my life and my body were severely out of balance.

I wanted to feel better but I didn’t have a clue where to begin. It was overwhelming and I needed help. One day my chiropractor handed me a book, “Prescription for Nutritional Healing.” It was a simple gesture that sparked something deep inside me. The idea that I had the power to heal myself opened the door to what has become a lifelong quest to learn how to take personal responsibility for the care of my body, mind, and spirit.

Easier said than done. What I didn’t realize in the beginning was just how deep the layers of healing go and how complex we are as human beings. It turns out there is no short cut. True healing is a lifelong process that requires patience, compassion, and love. I wish I knew then what I know now: healing starts with awareness, awareness evolves into action, and action transforms into freedom.

My hope is to be a spark for you on your path. To provide you with empowering support for self-healing so that you can gracefully navigate your own layers and experience the vitality you desire.

Being human can be challenging.

Awareness is the first step in healing.”

“Shaya sees a person’s health—physical, emotional, spiritual—as interconnected. 

So, in addition to working with food issues, Shaya’s [wellness] guidance led me to balancing my life in other ways: Defining the areas that were pleasantly full and how to continue nurturing them, and figuring out where there were holes that needed to be filled in order to be a whole person. Once I acknowledged my needs, it was amazing how opportunities just fell into place to satisfy them. Shaya has given me the tools I need to lead the healthy, fulfilling lifestyle I have always desired.”
