Shelbye is a Carolyn Costin Certified Eating Disorder Coach working with clients both locally in Los Angeles and virtually across the world. She struggled with an eating disorder for years and finally took her life back in 2016.
Through her own recovery, she realized how crucially important support and connection are. She has worked to become a full time coach helping adolescents to find their voice again. Trust and connection are two things that she values most in her work. While recovery can be very emotional and serious, Shelbye tries to keep it light and remind clients how amazing life can be outside of the eating disorder bubble.
Shelbye’s services include text support, virtual sessions, group support, in person one on one sessions, meal support, grocery shopping, clothing shopping, etc. She also has done live ins where she is with a client for an extended period of time in their home.
