reconnect with food, & rediscover well-being.
I’m Shaina Painter, MS, CNS, LDN, a virtual licensed nutritionist based in Lake Tahoe. I help individuals heal their relationship with food, while addressing root causes of gut dysfunction and hormone imbalances.
If you’re feeling exhausted by the noise of diet culture or caught in cycles of restriction, guilt, or confusion around food—you’re not alone.
Whether you're navigating a difficult relationship with food (disordered eating, or an eating disorder), understanding how to support chronic disease, or experiencing digestive or hormonal symptoms, you deserve support that sees the full picture.
My integrative, trauma-informed approach is both gentle and evidence-based. I work collaboratively with you to reconnect with your body’s cues, rebuild trust around food, and support healing from the inside out.
Together, we’ll move at a sustainable pace—developing long-term, nourishing habits that support your gut health, balance your hormones, and gently restore a sense of ease with food.
I'm currently accepting new clients, and am in-network with Aetna and United Healthcare. Take a step toward healing and schedule a free discovery call.
