End food fear.
Break the diet cycle.
Find peace with eating.

reconnect with food, & rediscover well-being.

If food feels overwhelming, restrictive, or anxiety-provoking, you’re not alone. Recovery doesn’t have to be confusing or stressful.

I’m Shaina Painter, MS, CNS, LDN — a licensed virtual nutritionist in Lake Tahoe helping women reclaim food freedom and trust their bodies again. My approach is compassionate, trauma-informed, and evidence-based, addressing the root causes of physical and emotional symptoms; whether it’s gut health, hormonal imbalances, or the long-term effects of dieting and disordered eating.

I’ve worked with many women, just like you, who are exhausted by dieting, conflicting nutrition advice, or experience fear around food. Health isn’t just about food; it’s also about the mind, body, and spirit.

Healing your relationship with food isn’t about rules, points, or tracking. It’s about understanding your body, building trust, and creating habits that support confidence and well-being. Together, we’ll focus on practical strategies and mindset shifts so food can feel simple again.

I’m currently accepting new clients and in-network with Aetna and United Healthcare. Take the first step and schedule a discovery call.
