reconnect with food, & rediscover well-being.
I’m Shaina Painter, MS, CNS, LDN—a licensed virtual nutritionist based in Lake Tahoe. I specialize in gut health, hormone balance, and eating disorders / disordered eating, through a compassionate, root-cause approach to help you reconnect with your body, heal your relationship with food, and feel better from the inside out.
Tired of gut issues, hormone swings, and food guilt running the show?
Let’s get to the root—together.
Whether you're navigating an eating disorder/disordered eating, managing a chronic condition, or dealing with digestive or hormonal symptoms, you deserve care that sees the full picture, not just the symptoms.
My approach is integrative, trauma-informed, and rooted in compassion and science. I work with you to reconnect with your body’s cues, rebuild trust around food, and support healing from the inside out.
We’ll move at a pace that feels sustainable, developing long-term habits that nourish your gut, balance your hormones, and gently restore ease with eating.
I'm currently accepting new clients, and am in-network with Aetna and United Healthcare. Take a step toward healing and schedule a discovery call.
