Many years ago, Shelly was diagnosed with a condition called discoid lupus. There is no cure for this disease but there are medications that are designed to reduce flairs and hold the condition at bay. Unfortunately, the medications have side effects that can do as much harm as the actual condition. To make a very long story short, she decided to take control of her health. Shelly's search has lead her to the only “treatment” that actually works…her raw food diet.

Shelly has found that on the raw diet, her appetite is easily satisfied with fruit for breakfast, a fresh salad for lunch and maybe an avocado salad or sunflower seed pate for dinner.

Shelly works closely with her clients to learn how to create healthy and satisfying menus as well as easy food preparation. Clients of Raw Transitions will better understand how to structure their diet.. Further, they will understand the significance of eating habits on health and the value of consuming a raw diet.

Shelly is certified with The Ekaya Institute of Living Food Education as a Raw Lifestyle Coach, Raw Personal Fitness Trainer, Raw Nutrition Specialist and Raw Food Chef.
