I'm Shaina Painter, a trauma-informed integrative nutritionist dedicated to fostering a mindful, non-diet approach to health and wellness. Embracing the Health at Every Size (HAES) philosophy, my practice integrates insights from functional medicine, herbalism, Ayurveda, and the principles of Intuitive Eating.
My health journey began after a severe horse accident led to autoimmune thyroid disease. Influenced by the 90s diet culture, I struggled with food and body image throughout high school and college. Using holistic healing, Intuitive Eating principles, and reconnecting with my true self, I found peace with food and revitalized my well-being. This journey with chronic illness and disordered eating fuels my desire to help clients heal, both physically as well as their relationship with food & their body.
I offer personalized virtual 1:1 sessions within my private practice, and at a New York Based integrative mental health start-up, Being Health.
Outside of the office, you'll often find me foraging in the Tahoe National Forest, engaging in outdoor activities like hiking, snowboarding, or paddleboarding, basking in the sun by the lake, or experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen.
