Shelby was always one of “I can eat whatever I want if I work out hard enough” people. She fell into the category of a yo-yo dieter. She looked into those “how to lose 10 pounds in a week” diets, but never found herself able to restrict enough to even see results short-term.
Eventually, she figured out the importance of nutrition in terms of improving the one thing she loved, fitness. It was at that time that she started learning how to eat outside of a purely caloric restriction. That's when she hired a nutrition coach and began working on macro balancing.
Learning so much through nutrition and its powerful impact on our lives, Shelby got certified in nutrition coaching and proceeded to start her own coaching business so she could coach in a way that she truly believed in. Her major coaching emphasis has been improving relationships with food and taking a lot of the negative stigmas out of nutrition.
Her increasing passion for coaching comes from watching her clients break free from food stigmas and yo-yo dieting. She loves showing people that you don’t have to live in a world of restriction to see the results that you want.

"My experience was absolutely amazing. I came Into the program with an extensive knowledge of nutrition, however Shelby was always able to find the small issues, tweak things, and offer knowledge that helped in a big way. We focused not only on my nutrition but my sleep and stress as well. I would highly recommend Shelby and m2 to anyone and everyone."

Strategies for Unpacking the "What-if's" in your Nutrition Journey
One of the biggest concerns that clients have around consistency is what to do when they can’t control their meals fully. “What do I do when I’m not 100% in control of the food I’m going to eat? What if I’m not cooking it? What if I can’t use my scale? What if I’m at a restaurant, work dinner, baby shower, picnic, etc.” These ‘what if’s’ can often become bottlenecks to finding consistency. We'll talk through some strategies to employ to find consistency even when you’re not 100% in control of the food you’re eating. We’ll also tackle two important things: understanding your goals and personal nutrition journey and the role of perfectionism and mindset in achieving your goals.
