My Story

My name is Kyla Shaw and I have worked in the health food industry for 15+ years which inspired me to pursue further education in the field and I am now proud to be a Registered Holistic Nutritionist.

​

Many people don't know what that is so let me share a simple explanation......A Holistic Nutritionist takes into account the WHOLE picture that includes not only nutrition but also fitness level, stress factors, community supports, family and work life, physical and emotional environment, personal likes/dislikes, and lifestyle. The services I provide are tailored just for you, your body, and your health.  My recommendations will be made with the understanding that you are unique and you have specific needs that cannot be helped with a “one size fits all” approach.

Conventional medicine does not always get to the root of the problem, and often times only treats the symptoms. You may even feel as though your doctor does not acknowledge when you have valid complaints because they do not see it as a significant concern. I promise I will take ALL of your health concerns seriously because I believe all of our body systems are interconnected and a holistic approach will enable us to address several of your health issues at once. We will work together to not just get results, but results that will last for your lifetime.

​

Most people live in a constant state of illness without ever knowing it, or they believe their chronic condition can not be improved. When you are in optimal health you have more energy, clearer thinking, a more positive mind frame, a healthier digestive system, a stronger immune system, and you can't wait to tackle what the day has in store for you. If that does not describe you then likely your body is not working the way it should and specific body systems need to be addressed.

​

My journey started many years ago as a teenager with numerous unexplained health problems that not one of the practitioners I visited believed were connected and which I now know were the result of my digestive and immune system issues. I finally diagnosed myself during my third pregnancy 10 years ago after trying in vain to get the help I needed from many different practitioners. Through my own journey as well as witnessing this same scenario with so many others in my line of work, I knew there was a better way to address many common health issues.

​

I am now a 40+ mother of 4 and know first hand many of the stress and hormonal issues we go through that can result in weight gain, emotional instability, infertility, irregular sleep patterns, menopause, prostate problems, lower sex drive, low immune system, thyroid disease, and changes in our skin/hair/nails/bones as we age. Many people believe these are normal, unavoidable, and irreversible. I am here to prove all of this wrong!!! These things CAN be avoided, improved, and even reversed with the help of lifestyle changes, supplements and nutrition.

​

I believe parents, especially mothers, are called to be powerful influencers and can positively impact many generations of children once they gain the knowledge and confidence that they are the ones in charge of their own mental health and physical wellness. A person needs to learn to truly listen to their own body and fully understand how everything they take into their bodies including hearing, seeing, experiencing, and thinking will affect their physical and emotional health.  They can then start on the empowering process of enabling their body's natural ability to function at an optimal level. An unavoidable benefit of this journey is the unshakable belief that you can achieve even greater things in your life, in your family's lives, and all the generations that will follow.
