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, and Ayurveda, while embracing the principles of Intuitive Eating.

​

My journey with health began early,, after a serious horse accident led to a diagnosis of autoimmune thyroid disease. Influenced by 90s diet culture, I grappled with my relationship with food from high school through college, experimenting with numerous diets to alleviate symptoms and combat a negative body image, Through introspection, holistic healing practices, and reconnecting with my authentic self, I found peace with food and revitalized my well-being.

​

Currently, I offer personalized virtual 1:1 sessions within my private practice, and at an integrative mental health start-up in New York, 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.
