About Me
A little about my family
HI! I‘m Shelby, Owner of Mindful Empowered Wellness. I was born and raised here in Loudoun County. A lot has changed in our little town! A little bit about my family....I am married to my best friend for 20 years, we have 3 wild, active boys (13,11 &7), we have 2 dogs, 2 cats and 5 chickens. We are blessed to live on a farm and get to experience all that and a lovely garden that gives me so much joy! I have 20 years experience as a pediatric nurse, that I am forever grateful for, but God has help to open a new path into the functional space. My goal is taking what I learned in Western Medicine and marry it with a Functional approach to better serve my clients, optimize their health, and help to restore their bodies back to homeostasis.
My Journey to where I am Now
Struggling with my own health issues as a teen and then my husband being diagnosed with MS, I started looking into Functional and Holistic ways to help us. Researching many things, I decided to go back to school and became a Functional Diagnostic Practitioner. Through my own testing with Functional labs, I realized my gut and hormones were way out of wack and that creates a cascade effect within the body.
My journey has taught me that anyone can take charge of their health, be their own advocate, and achieve optimal health through hard work and determination. It's worth it, and you too can do it!
I am dedicated to helping my clients move beyond just managing symptoms, uncover the root causes of their health issues, and restore the balance within their body.
