Hi. I'm Shena.

I’m here to help you simplify your dietitian practice, learn to bill insurance, and develop some ninja blogging skills.

About Me

I’m Shena. I’m just your regular dietitian who’s been running a private practice for about a decade. 

My biggest asset to you is I spent a LOT of time at the beginning of my private practice journey doing a LOT of shit wrong (AKA, trying to be as cheap as possible as a new practice owner!) While I took the long way around, I’m here so you don’t have to! 

My favorite hobbies include eating chocolate chip cookies, helping people with eating disorders heal, and riding my longboard. 

I spend way too much of my free time nerding out to the nuances of insurance billing so my clients can become billing rock stars without the headache.

I Want To Help You.....

Become so freaking excited about the services you’re here to offer the world that you’re ready to do backflips down the street while chanting about how you help people.

Or you know just… do normal people stuff (alternative options if you’re not a skilled backflipper) like: 

  • Market with confidence to physicians
  • Feel confident as a media expert
  • Develop a global presence of your services
  • Get paid (because that’s actually really important for business owners)
  •  Network Network Network!

What My Clients Say

Shena has been a wonderful business coach! She was the first person to give me honest and constructive feedback on my website and the message that I was trying to put out in the world.  She is a great resource for insurance questions and getting started with blogging, and she taught me a lot about how to find my provider referral network. 

Sarah Rae, RDN

Shena is an absolute wealth of knowledge. She has the lived experience to help you build the practice of your dreams.

Starting a private practice may be as easy as “just jumping into the deep end,” but you are not jumping into a pool. You are jumping into a kelp forest where it’s glittering and beautiful, and you have no idea where the hell to go next. I  spent my first year in private practice paralyzed.  I do not want to take insurance, and I do not have the funds for all my pie–in-the-sky ideas.  Along comes Shena! She had amazing insights and set my mind at ease about many of my hesitations.  Her guidance not only answered my many questions but also considered how my practice is now and as it grows.  After understanding my niche and the various “big ideas” I had, she was able to guide me in setting a path forward that would allow for growth along with specific action steps to get me started. I highly recommend Shena for anyone looking to grow their practice authentically.
