I have been working with Linda since January, and I truly cannot recommend her enough. Before…read moremeeting her, I felt like I was doing everything "right" and still getting nowhere. I was working out every day, hitting my steps, and eating what I thought was a very healthy diet with foods like avocado, eggs, salmon, hummus, and plenty of protein. Even with all of that effort, the scale would not budge, and I could not understand why. Linda changed everything for me. She helped me understand that while I wasn't in a huge caloric surplus, I was eating much more fat than my body actually needed, and that imbalance was keeping me from losing weight. For the first time, someone explained the science to me in a way that made everything click. With her guidance, I made small but meaningful adjustments, and since reducing my fat intake, I have not only lost over 20 pounds in a steady and healthy way, but I also feel better overall. My digestion, energy, and general sense of well being have all improved so much. What I appreciate most is that Linda never made healthy eating feel restrictive. She helped me find balance, understand my body, and still live a full and happy life while making choices that support my goals. She is knowledgeable, compassionate, and genuinely invested in long term success. Working with her has been one of the best decisions I have ever made for my health.

As a busy mom of three, I was overwhelmed and didn't know where to begin. Linda took the time to understand my lifestyle and helped me create simple, realistic meals that fit my vegetarian diet and the chaos of family life. She's warm, relatable, and has such a gift for simplifying things without ever making me feel judged. Jackie brings an amazing depth of knowledge about diabetes and metabolic health. She helped me interpret my CGM data and understand my glucose patterns in a way that finally clicked. Her explanations were clear, empowering, and made the science feel manageable. When spring 2025 hit, I started working with Linda again to focus on weight loss, specifically, finding ways to lose weight while still feeling satisfied with my meals. That is truly her specialty. Every tip she gives is practical and easy to implement, and they've genuinely helped. I also love that she accepts my insurance, which makes caring for myself actually affordable. One of my favorite things about working with Linda is how she helps me plan for busy sports nights, so I always have a go to meal plan even when I'm exhausted from late practices. She's great at suggesting meals the whole family will enjoy, which makes sticking to changes so much easier. Working with both Linda and Jackie has been life-changing. Their combined expertise and their kindness has helped me feel informed, supported, and capable. I am truly grateful for their guidance and recommend them wholeheartedly.

I didn't want someone to just lecture me for an hour on it. I also know a lot of nutrition type people are coming out of the woodwork now and it is hard to know about their credentials. Cindy is a Registered Nurse and she has spent countless hours studying and earning her post graduate degree nutrition. In essence, she brings a solid medical background and weaves it into the confusing world of nutrition. She provides testing for food allergies, nutritional analysis, counseling and a genuine concern for your well being. I felt really comfortable discussing my diet and eating habits with her and I am surprised at how easy she made it. Her extensive knowledge becomes quite apparent from the moment you begin talking to your. I have been a health care provider for almost 16 years and I recommend Cindy Allen very highly.

She truly cares about every patient she sees. With the use of a Zyto scan, which is 100% accurate, she is able to quickly pinpoint areas of weakness in your system. Once those areas are identified, through the use of muscle testing she is able to create a protocol of supplements that are specific for what your body needs at the time. She is also a great resource for other holistic approaches in supporting your body's needs. I have learned so much from Cynthia about nutrition and how to provide my body with the nutrients it needs. I have been seeing Cynthia for about 4 months now and my original symptoms have pretty much disappeared. In addition, I feel so much more energetic and my overall health has improved. Cynthia had totally changed my life for the better and I couldn't be more grateful for that.

The best decision I've made in 2021 is to work with Vanessa, and participate in the Feed Your Power…read more12 Week Program. When Vanessa and I initially talked, I realized I was struggling with boundaries around food, personal time, self-confidence, self-worth and making the time to put my body first: essentially, what I came to know as Body Wisdom. Not a phrase you might have heard of specifically before, but this is one of the key phrases that I learned early on in the Feed Your Power Coaching Program. Every week, I learned something new to tap into, to slow down and absorb, and how to listen to what my body was telling me it needed whether food, movement, rest or hydration. Since the program ended, not only has Vanessa still been supportive, but I've found myself making healthier food decisions, setting healthier life boundaries and realizing that my body does have the wisdom I need, if I'll slow down enough to listen to it. Vanessa did that! As a coach, my relationship with Vanessa developed organically, with no pressure on her side, but continual positive affirmation, positive self-talk and she provided so much more than I could have expected from ANY coach, especially in a group program. I highly recommend working with Vanessa, and have mentioned her to many friends as a way to re-establish healthy boundaries and perspectives around food and personal health. I look forward to working with her in the future on a more individual basis as well!

Working with Vanessa is always an eye-opening experience.

I know that when I work with her, she is going to challenge me in all the ways that allow me to look at my behaviors and what I desire and figuring out how to get them to align. She is always very supportive and I love her nurturing style. She makes sure that I feel safe which isn't what I have always been used to but that's what allows me to open up. I also love how passionate she is about her work and I can tell she really wants to HELP people and cares a lot.

It has genuinely changed the way I understand my body, my relationship with food, and how I approach my overall well-being. I originally came to Shanti because I wanted to lose weight. And while I have lost weight, it hasn't happened as quickly or to the extent I initially hoped. But what I've come to realize is that the real value of working with Shanti isn't just about losing weight. It's about learning how to live well in the body you've been given and helping it function at its best. Shanti doesn't teach quick fixes or one-size-fits-all nutrition plans. She teaches lifelong skills tailored to your body, your tastes, your preferences, and your lifestyle. She helps you understand how your body processes what you consume and how to make choices that actually work for you. The weight loss becomes a natural result of building healthier, more sustainable habits rather than the sole measure of success. What makes Shanti truly special is how holistic her approach is. Yes, she's incredibly knowledgeable about nutrition and the physical side of health, but she also helps you connect the dots between your hormones, cycles, emotions, environment, and consumption. You begin to understand not just what you're eating or drinking, but why, and how all of these things influence one another. That awareness has changed so much for me. It's transformed my relationship with food and alcohol, and even how I think about friendships, boundaries, and the environments I put myself in. You start to recognize what supports the life you want to live and what might be getting in the way. While the coaching may start with nutrition and your body, the experience feels much more like having a life coach. Shanti helps you build a deeper understanding of yourself and gives you the tools to make meaningful, lasting changes. I'm incredibly grateful for what I've learned from her. If you're looking for someone who will help you do more than just reach a number on the scale, I can't recommend Shanti enough. You're investing in skills and self-awareness that will benefit you for the rest of your life.
