Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.
I’m Shay, a Certified Integrative Health Practitioner (Level 3), certified in Footzonology® and Backzonology®, with over a decade of hands-on experience in aromatherapy. I’m also a former yoga instructor, a lifelong student of wellness, and a big believer in the body’s incredible ability to heal when given the right support.
When I’m not supporting clients, you’ll find me wearing many mom hats: wife, devoted homeschool mom of three, team mom, chauffeur, snack packer, laundromat manager, driving instructor, cheerleader, and constant encourager. I know firsthand what it feels like to pour your energy into everyone else before yourself.
I also understand the frustration of doing all the right things—eating well, moving your body, trying to stay positive—yet still feeling exhausted, stuck, or just not quite yourself. You’re not alone, and you’re in the right place.
From Struggle to Searching
I have always believed health matters deeply, yet I struggled with my weight my entire life and noticed so many others facing thyroid and weight challenges too. Even while playing sports and working out regularly, infertility, depression, and weight gain took hold, and I knew movement alone wasn’t the answer. Looking back, I can see how God was already placing puzzle pieces in front of me, guiding me to question the environment and root causes behind what I was experiencing.
Discovering a Better Way
My journey into holistic health began with practicing and teaching yoga, followed by a life-changing thyroid removal during my second pregnancy. That experience led me to Footzonology®, aromatherapy, nutrition, herbs, and sound healing—tools that transformed how I cared for my family and reshaped my view of true wellness. Yet despite all of this, I still struggled with weight, anxiety, chronic fatigue, and was repeatedly told I was “just a busy mom” who needed to eat less, work out more, or take medication. It wasn’t until hormones, stress, and proper support were finally addressed that real healing began—and for the first time, I felt hope again.
Turning Healing into a Mission
After moving to South Carolina in 2022 and losing access to the care that changed my life, I realized the solution I was searching for had to come from within me. I committed fully to the Integrative Health Practitioner Institute, where everything finally connected and healing accelerated—14 pounds lost after my first detox and 20 more during the CBO protocol. While I’m still on my healing journey, my family and I continue to experience incredible progress and transformation. It’s now my mission to pass this hope and education on to other families—because you matter, and the world deserves the strongest, healthiest version of you.
Why work with me
My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and supported. Together, we’ll build a realistic plan rooted in your unique needs and goals. A plan that helps you feel confident as you move toward the life, health, and body you envision.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an Integrative Health Practitioner (IHP)?
As an IHP, I’m trained in both functional medicine and natural health to uncover and rebalance the underlying root causes of dis-ease—not just mask symptoms. I use lab testing, lifestyle guidance, and personalized protocols to support the whole person—body, mind, and spirit.
Do you work with clients virtually or in person?
I offer virtual consultations, so you can work with me from anywhere in the world. I also provide at-home lab testing kits shipped directly to you.
Do I need lab testing to work with you?
Not always. While functional lab tests offer powerful insight into what’s happening beneath the surface, we can absolutely begin with a symptom-based approach and personalize your protocol as we go. I use a combination of in-depth assessments and ongoing feedback to guide your healing journey—lab testing is highly encouraged, but never required.
How long will it take to see results?
Everybody is different. Some clients feel better within weeks, while others need several months to fully rebalance. My goal is lasting results, not quick fixes—so I focus on sustainable healing.
Can you help me if I’m already working with a doctor or on medication?
Yes! I work alongside your current care to support your healing naturally. I always recommend speaking with your prescribing doctor before adding or changing any supplements or wellness routines.
