Shelley Gawith Functional Nutrition: Reviews

Fantastic experience: I recently completed Shelley’s 10-day parasite cleanse after hearing about it through a friend and following her on Instagram, and I’m so glad I did. I was experiencing symptoms like bloating, low energy, sugar cravings, and low mood — and I wanted to support my body in a more holistic way. This was my first time doing a cleanse, and I was genuinely surprised by how effective it was. I lost 5kg, my bloating reduced significantly, and I noticed a big improvement in my mood, energy levels, and cravings. It was a powerful reset both physically and mentally. Shelley’s support throughout the process was absolutely amazing. She was incredibly hands-on and present, and the Telegram group created a strong sense of community. The program itself was easy to follow and packed with valuable information — I learnt so much about parasites and gut health that I wish I had known years ago. I would 100% do the cleanse again and recommend it to anyone experiencing similar issues or just wanting to take better care of their overall health. Shelley has such a deep knowledge base, and her communication and support are next level. I’m so grateful for the experience!

Fantastic experience: I met Shelley in 2018 when searching for a practitioner to send my clients needing gut support while healing inflammatory skin conditions and was instantly drawn to her infectious energy and phenomenal knowledge, she is an absolute wealth - and is so generous with it. Over the years I have witnessed countless clients lives change, their children’s lives change, their energy, vitality, connection to self, and health transform (and their skin along with it). In 2020 after seeing endless results, I started my own journey with Shelley and it has been life changing, ridding my body of cravings, mould, candida, inflammation and weight while gaining endless amounts of energy, vitality, radiant skin, deep sleep, and a feeling of complete reset. I am about to complete her parasite cleanse and am so excited. Shelley is unmatched and we are so lucky to have her education, passion and knowledge not only changing lives but prolonging them.

Fantastic experience: Another great session with Shelley, thank you so much, again you have been super helpful in helping keep my health on the right track. I definitely recommend anyone that wants to improve their health get in touch with Shelley. My initial review is below, the only thing that has changed from 7 months ago is my health continues to improve under the guidance and expertise of Shelley, the knowledge and skills she has are excellent, she is always happy to help and continues to inspire. Keep up the great work Shelley. I have been working with Shelley for just over a year now, after a chance meeting led me to finding out about what she does. My overall health has slowly but surely improved under her guidance and advice, from a stage of being desperate and deteriorating to being happy and optimistic about the future. I would highly recommend going to see Shelley, she is an inspiration and has taught me so much over the year, I will be forever grateful and look forward what else I can learn and how I can look after myself even better.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Shelley and her team as a health practice! I have completed three guided liver detoxes. The tools and knowledge gained from Shelley's coaching have been worth every cent and more. It's a back to basics approach to gaining optimal health and taking back control of your health outcomes. I recommend Shelley and her practice often :). Keep up the great work team

Fantastic experience: I am so ecstac that I am screaming with joy from my rooftop! After completng the 10-Day Detox, my pH levels are now on point. I'm enjoying the prescribed healthy protein shakes with added collagen and high vegetable content meals, which has helped me feel so energised that I have even started jogging again! Being vegan, I have always struggled to consume enough protein, but that struggle is now over. I feel empowered with the knowledge that I can self-monitor my health and make changes to self-correct. PH testng strips have now become my newly adopted daily habit, and an alkaline state is now my new best friend. This level of care I am taking for my body and health has dramatically impacted my life, and I am grateful for the coaching I received from Shelley, my Super Guru

Fantastic experience: Shelley is an absolute stand-out. So knowledgeable, practical and professional. I did her 10 Day Detox programme. Despite my skepticism beforehand, I was blown away by the results - weight loss, more energy, no mid afternoon slump, glowing clear skin, no joint pain, reduced cellulite, and a new appreciation for how our health directly relates to what we eat. I was so impressed with the results I went on to do her parasite cleanse to get rid of my rosacea. After having it for 30 years, it’s gone. Amazing. Shelley was generous with her time, knowledge and support during both programmes. The group chat and support was also a valuable part of it. I would recommend Shelley and her programmes to anyone wanting to experience wellness. She’s an absolute gem and what I have learnt from her has been transformative. Don’t hesitate. Just do it. Vicki, Mount Maunganui.

Jude Turner 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've completed the 10 Day Detox and the 21 Day Detox and have loved the results. From a slimmer figure to better skin, I came out of these programmes feeling fantastic. Shelley is full of advice to get you looking and feeling your best, and is always there to answer your stupid questions. And, she equips you with the tools and practices to ensure that you stay in peak condition. She's awesome, I can't rate her highly enough.

Fantastic experience: Shelley really cares about her clients. She listens to what I think is happening with my body and then tests to see what actually is happening.

Karen Butturini 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Whenever I see Shelley, either by zoom or in person, I get an education! I value her passion in striving to give her clients the information and tools to help us on our health journey. Prior to this I was unwell with gut issues and had a health issue diagnosis, but no actual way forward. Now I feel included and empowered and my health has vastly improved. I'm still a "work in progress"!!! but I'm more positive about navigating my way to good health. Thanks Shelley!

Fantastic experience: I have worked with Shelley for over a year now and have found her to be incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. From a health perspective she has opened my eyes to understanding symptoms and addressing them with various protocols which over time have helped increase energy levels and heal or detox my body through natural therapies and supplements. I've addressed more things about my health with Shelley than I ever had with my GP. I highly recommend Shelley if you want to achieve your best health.

Fantastic experience: After being on various medications for muscle tension , ringing ears and poor sleep I decided to be proactive with my health and seek alternative treatments. After seeing Shelley to discuss diet and using the Amp Coil and Ion Foot Cleanse I noticed a huge difference especially with my ears and now try to visit once a week. Thankfully I can say I am now medication free!

Fantastic experience: I love working with Shelley and her team. They are extremely insightful and supportive. Every member of the office is kind and welcoming (especially Charlie her sweet little dog). I always feel well taken care of and its like going to see friends that know exactly what you need for your wellbeing. I love how flexible they are from seeing me online to in person in the clinic. I love going into clinic and using the detox Centre, I find it very relaxing. I like my weekly appointments as I find it a beautiful break and way to re set my nervous system, build my immune system and take some time out for me to be proactive with my health. I love that Shelley and her team have a range of clinical skills. They never guess when it comes to your health. They don't want you to waste your time or money. Everything they suggest, I always see results from. I especially love doing Shelley’s 21 detox, every time I do it, I see results. I am so grateful for the sanctuary Shelley and the team have created and feel so lucky to have found Shelley. Paula :)

Fantastic experience: I met Shelley a couple of years ago when I decided I wanted to start a holistic approach to my health and well-being. Fast forward to June 2020 when Shelley suggested I try her 21 day detox as it would assist with my goals. I was skeptical as I had never done anything like that before but I trust Shelley 100 % and knew she wouldn’t have suggested it if she didn’t believe it would help me. I can’t thank Shelley enough, it has been life changing for me in so many ways, not only did I lose in excess of 8 kgs ( and have kept it off), I feel incredible, have managed to significantly cut alcohol from my weekly life, I’m sleeping through the night for the first time in years and generally feel fabulous But the most amazing thing I have managed to do is reverse my hypothyroidism. Unbelievably after 26 years of taking several pills a week, I have been able to cut this down to just 3 (and we are working at removing those) I cannot recommend Shelley high enough. Her knowledge and expertise is endless, her energy is contagious and her holistic approach to health and well being through functional nutrition has been an easy process for me to follow. Thank you Shelley.

Fantastic experience: Shelley is like a little pot of gold at the end of a very long rainbow. Her insights are priceless. She educates and empowers, which enables you to investigate and take control of your own health. After working with Shelley for more than 3 years, Im completely convinced that individualised nutrition, daily detox strategies and tailored supplementation are critical for everyone wanting to live an optimal life. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Shelley and her wonderful team are so amazing! They have created such a calming sanctuary in the middle of Wellington CBD and I love going there for the detox foot spas! I can't believe the changes I see in my own and others health when they follow Shelley's advice, she is so passionate about helping people be the best versions of themselves.

Megan Hubbard 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Since 2019 I have been working with Shelley on my gut health and stress management and seen many positive results. I now understand more about the connection between the gut and the brain and can now eat onion and garlic and have less bloating and brain fog. Recently I went along to detox evening where I came out feeling totally relaxed and had a great sleep. I know the other attendees felt the same way! Go visit Shelley and the Detox Centre...you will reap the benefits.

Fantastic experience: Shelley is the most amazing functional nutritionist ! Wellington is so lucky to have her. She will be by your side as you heal, a brilliant mind, and thinks strategically to save you time and money along your healing journey. Shelley you're an angel!

Ali Nash 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I was referred to Shelley by a friend-of-a-friend. Having been told by my GP I had chronic fatigue and there was nothing the medical system could do to help I was excited to investigate this idea of functional nutrition, which was new to me. Using blood tests that my doctor had told me were ‘normal’ Shelley quickly identified areas my body needed extra support and foods that were causing me inflammation. Shelley breaks down actions to take and explains why I need to take these actions in order for my body to heal. Each session with Shelley is a revelation; she carefully builds on the previous session, modifying and adding to my individualised programme in manageable chunks. It has been two months since I first saw Shelley and I am already seeing results in improved energy. I can’t wait to see how I am feeling by the end of my programme. Included in the programme are detox treatments to aid healing. I particularly love the infrared sauna and AmpCoil combo, which leave me feeling both relaxed and energised afterwards. I have chosen to add extra detox sessions to my programme because of the boost they give my body. What’s a real bonus is that between my individual sessions with Shelley she has online group support calls, usually about two between each session. I have found these invaluable to be able to ask those questions that pop up after a session. Also being in a safe group environment the ideas and conversations that pop up from others in the group mean I always learn something new that I can apply to my own healing journey. I am learning so much from Shelley about how my body works and what it needs. Having started the year struggling with no way forward I am now positive I can be healed and the result will be a much healthier me moving forward.

Fantastic experience: Thank you Shelley. I have been trying to solve the mystery of my dry cough for years. I've tried breathing clinics, asthma tests, respiratory exercises and everything else in between. It was only after you tested food intolerances and asked lots of questions about my day to day habits, that we finally got to the bottom of the issue which was inflammation in my body. I am so grateful for your knowledge and expertise. There is no one I have met that specializes in what you do. Coming into your clinic for a foot detox or a consultation is something I always look forward to. Your vibrant energy and incredible knowledge is so impressive and I am so thankful our paths crossed. You are truly a life changer and I hope people see the value in the work you do. I have recommended to friends and family the AMD ion foot detox to start which I found incredible and was a great way to start my journey.

Fantastic experience: Shelley is amazing!! I have been seeing Shelley for over a year and the improvement in my health from following Shelley's recommendations is immense. Shelley has a very practical and personalised approach to health and nutrition, tailored to individuals. And on top of that Shelley is so much fun. No matter how I am feeling before an appointment, I'm always smiling by the end!

Kelly Bullen 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have only been seeing Shelley for a couple of months but have already seen immense changes in my body and my wellbeing. I am excited about what the next few months will bring. I was so impressed after the first session I also have my children booked in - they heal so much faster than adults and the healing is fantastic (& other family members who are also impressed and are now dedicated to healing their body in this way). Functional nutrition is not the same as a nutritionist or a dietitian and i really welcomed the holistic approach that Shelley is able to take because of her training. She works with the body to understand on an individual basis what is going on and then works to heal that at a fundamental level. On top of that she is delightful - welcoming, lovely, committed to your healing journey and educating you every step of the way. Could not recommend her enough

Emily Power 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: “My eczema has cleared up almost entirely thanks to Shelley’s help with creating a food plan best suited to me. The removal of foods that were once part of my daily diet has made such a huge difference already. Such a welcoming environment and easy process, I wish I had done this years ago! Thank you Shelley! “

Julie Houghton 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: How blessed are we to be able to have such an amazing Functional Nutritionist on our doorstep. My partner and I, although super skeptical have embraced a new approach to our understanding on how our bodies need to operate for optimal physiological function. We have both been seeing Shelley for almost a year and have taken advantage of modalities such as the AMP Coil and foot bath along with her sauna and muscle testing. We are so impressed with her professionalism and passion that we are constantly recommending her services to our clients. Julie Houghton Owner - House of Beauty MediSpa

Fantastic experience: After going to the gym almost every night and not seeing any weight shift, I knew something wasn’t right. I didn’t want to see a ‘usual’ nutritionist who would tell me calories in-calories out. Shelley made the process so easy and explained about the link between weight and inflammation that avoiding certain foods wasn’t an issue, especially since it is not a forever thing. I am only part way through my journey but the weight is coming off, I feel less foggy, more energetic and am sleeping so much better. I know what I am learning with Shelley will help me for the rest of my life and I will be able to pinpoint if something is out of balance with my body.

Layne Hughes 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Shelley is what you never knew was missing in your life! I have been seeing Shelley for about 5 months now after being diagnosed with Coeliac disease and some other health concerns. With Shelley's help, guidance and support my health has completely turned around. I can do things now that were unimaginable to me 6 months ago. Shelley is supportive and non judgey, no matter how you have gotten to your situation and the reasons that you have come to the clinic. I always felt she was there for me, and was honest about the changes I could make but at the end of the day it was on me to take the step with her guidance. Shelley also keeps me in check when I feel disheartened by my health journey always reminding me where I have come from, and how far I have travelled. If you are unsure about engaging with Shelley, give it a try, you cant start your journey any sooner than today.

Hayley Lowe 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've been seeing Shelley for about 3 months and so far, so awesome! I'm noticing a LOT of changes in my body - sometimes I'm bone tired as I'm detoxing and other days I have loads of energy - a sign of things to come - I hope! Understanding how my body works and that the 'fat' that I have is actually inflammation from foods that my body can't process 'yet' makes so much sense! I'm feeling healthier, I'm feeling thinner and I'm excited for the next few months with Shelley! For anyone considering seeing Shelley - just take the pills - it's SOOOOO much easier and quicker!

Julie Marks 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Shelley, where do I start! You are truly amazing! Your energy, passion, knowledge and approach makes it all so easy. Love how you explain things in simple terms and provide suggestions and ideas to support making the process easy. I now know what causes me inflammation and what I can do about it, putting me back in control.

Natalie Jones 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Shelley is an incredible nutritionist and I would highly recommend her to anyone! She is professional, efficient, knowledgeable, makes you feel comfortable and gets quick results. I love that she empowers you to make changes to your own health but is also there to support you wherever needed. Just mad that I didn't go to see her sooner. Thank you Shelley and to her lovely receptionist Kerry.

Sara Ayling 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Shelley empowers you to understand what's going on in your body and what it needs. From the first appointment she had mapped out a path to guide me through my wellness journey, and advanced me at a pace that suited me. To compliment this Shelley offers treatments in the detox centre that are common place in the States. These include AMD Ion Foot Cleanse, Near Infrared Sauna and AmpCoil. I have personally used the AMD Ion Foot Cleanse and Infrared Sauna. Using the AMD Ion Foot Cleanse weekly I have noticed improved mental clarity and better sleep. The Near Infrared Sauna has helped relieve upper back pain from an old F45 injury that no amount of physio, osteo, or chiro could resolve. Shelleys space is beautiful and inviting, we spend so much of our lives rushing - stepping into her clinic is a place to unwind, let go, and be taken care of. The staff are always on hand, offering kindness and support. Don't wait until theres a problem - be proactive for your health and wellbeing now.

Fran Horsley 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: After years of trying to raise health concerns around nutrition and obesity with various health professionals it was a welcome relief and refreshing to meet Shelley and spend an hour talking with her. She kindly encouraged my husband to attend with me. We appreciate this because we've had a shared life for 50 years and obviously share meals so we resolved to follow any advice given, together. We are at the end of week one following our consult. Going well and feedback from us is that her suggested programme is do-able. We have gained insight from our first meeting and we are already getting results that are allowing us to change behaviours. We definitely recommend Shelley as a very open minded and solution focused professional to work with.

Klennie Lee 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Thanks Shelley for the time in jotting down and sending me the notes right after our online video appointment. Love the session as she constantly shared useful info and I absolutely love that live-fun quick toe-touch test! It was amazing and I'm looking forward to testing my other foods now! :D Keep updating and sharing via Instagram stories and live. Huge love of them! ;) Thanks for doing what you love! I really hoped I could make a trip to the clinic to experience detox treatment and have the functional test with Shelley one day.

Katie Freire 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Shelley highly enough. I went to her last year with a panoply of health issues – she not only helped me become symptom-free from an autoimmune skin condition that was seriously impacting my quality of life (and that my GP and specialist had told me would be a lifelong issue that basically nothing could be done about), but has helped me fix a lifetime of IBS, restore my energy and regain normal hormonal function for the first time in 5 years. She is an actual wizard – and a truly lovely human being to boot. The things I've learned from her have truly changed my life for the better. Everyone needs one of her in their corner.

Ailsa Krefft 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Shelley is a life saver, and a knight in shining armour! But also, she is so comforting and reassuring, so going to see her feels like being wrapped in a big, warm hug, even virtually through a video call appointment! She is incredibly well informed, and has an amazing way of breaking that wealth of knowledge down for you in a straightforward way, so that it can be easily understood. She's friendly, non-judgemental, amazingly accommodating and perhaps, most importantly, she gets results! I was amazed at how she could so thoroughly treat me in an online appointment. If you're unsure about making an online appointment with her, please, hesitate no more. You'll be so glad you've found someone who listens, and helps.

Fantastic experience: I first saw Shelley in early November last year, and then again in January, upon the recommendation of a friend. I had not long been diagnosed with severe anaemia and Hashimoto's Disease (an autoimmune disorder affecting the thyroid). Although I was on medication for these, and things were improving, I was still feeling very tired throughout the day, and I was still in a pattern (of some years' duration by then) of eating high-energy foods to try and keep my energy levels up. Unfortunately this had led to me being some 25kg overweight, and my diet was giving me regular - and severe - heartburn, despite being on medication for that. In my first two appointments with Shelley, she tested me for various intolerances, and we have adapted my diet accordingly (and added some supplements). I have been gluten and dairy-free since my first appointment with her, and my heartburn disappeared completely within a week. I even stopped taking my heartburn medication in December, and the heartburn has not returned, not even once! As of early April, I have lost about 18kg - and the crazy thing is that it feels like I'm not even trying to restrict my eating - I'm just eating differently. I've had to give up a few things I used to enjoy, but I don't miss them very much because I'm feeling heaps better. That said, I still hate fermented cabbage and refuse to eat it, even though Shelley assures me it's good for me! I was next going to see Shelley in March, but things got crazy at work, so I had to postpone. And then we have had the Lockdown, which meant Shelley was unable to offer appointments in her office. But thankfully she is doing online appointments during this time, so I had a 1 hour session with her last week. I felt a bit self-conscious doing my own testing in front of her, rather than having Shelley do it for me! (and I am sure my husband could hear some of this and wondered what on earth was going on). But the appointment went really well, and I found it just as valuable as if we were in the same 'bubble'. As a result of the testing we did, Shelley has adapted my protocol slightly, and I look forward to seeing some benefits of this in a week or two. Shelley has also given me some actionable steps (aka 'homework') and dietary tweaks to work on until my next appointment with her in June. I totally recommend Shelley!!! Literally everything she has suggested has really helped me, and I'm feeling better than I ever have before.

Mona&Dave Jeffreys 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: As great online as she is in real life! I've been seeing Shelley every month/ six weeks for the last two years. I always enjoy my appointments, but was fairly apprehensive about how an online appointment would work, particularly the hands-on part. Shelley was as thorough as she is usually, and her sense of fun and dedication was still evident over Zoom. Her "testing" of me during an online appointment was hard to believe, but I find it hard to believe when I'm in her office too! It's not ideal for anyone to have to have online appointments, but it was so mich better than I expected. As usual, thanks Shelley.

Emily Mason 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've been putting off writing this review because I wanted to make sure I captured how amazing Shelley is in a few sentences! In short - she's incredible! She has ridiculously wide ranging knowledge and an incisive ability to very quickly cut right to the heart of why you're experiencing the symptoms you are and how to get you healthy - fast. But this is paired with an insightful, pragmatic and compassionate approach so you feel seen an understood as a person and empowered to make and sustain the necessary changes in your life. Thank you Shelley! We are very lucky to have such a gem here in Wellington :)

Fantastic experience: I’ve been seeing Shelley on and off for over 2 years now and she’s consistently been my number one go- to person for all thing’s heath and well being. I’m blown away by Shelley’s knowledge and her passion to learn and educate others. Her kind and uplifting nature means I always eave her office feeling positive and empowered to take control of my own health. Shelley is a real-life angel, I’ll be forever grateful I found her!

Lisa-Jane Thomsen 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I only sought Shelley's expertise 7 months ago but since then I have been raving about how life-changing her advice has been. I saw positive changes in my health almost immediately. I have been struggling with my gut health for the past 5 years, it deteriorated rapidly in the past year and I was at my lowest point when finding Shelley. She was not only able to quickly diagnose and explain why I was so sick, she gave me the help, information and advice I needed to improve both my general health and gut health. Shelley is very knowledgeable and is genuine in her help, she always provides practical advice and options that will work for you. I appreciate her approach; I understand how my health is responding and why she is making each recommendation. I never feel pressured and always leave with more knowledge about my health. Although I am still very much at the beginning of my journey, I trust her expertise and I know with Shelley's guidance and plan for repair I will continue to get better. I highly recommend Shelley Gawith as a functional nutritionist :-)

Amber Eyre 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Having been recommended Shelley's expertise by a number of incredibly happy clients/friends I finally stopped being "too busy" to make an appointment and went to see her! I fully expected to have to be patient and wait for results/solutions for the ongoing digestive and hormonal issues I have been struggling with for some time. I have been simply blown away by how immediate and impactful the results, from what have been very easy changes, have been on my day to day life. Shelley is a fabulous person who is just so enjoyable to deal with and be around and her passion to help others just radiates from her. If you are wanting to take control of your own health journey I cannot recommend her enough!

Jenny Monk 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: What can I say about Shelley that has not been said already....Shelley is a beautiful gift, an angel on loan from heaven such is her 'complete' care for you. With a genuine compassion and knowing, Shelley in her wonderful, kind and fun way gives you such a hope for complete 'healing' where previously, medics have left you feeling frustrated and discouraged. Shelley has the easy ability to become your friend while at the same time conducting herself in a totally professional way which causes you to feel safe and secure. During the time of consulting with her, she is very thorough and she takes the time to ensure you understand exactly your personal situation. I too have begun a health journey and I am so excited about what lies ahead!! Shelley, I simply cannot thank you enough<:)) Bless you xx

meg burgess 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I HIGHLY recommend booking an appointment with Shelley and her amazing team! For so long i have dealt with really horrible gut problems and within my first session with Shelley she had explained everything to me as to why my body was reacting the way it was. I honestly can not recommend her enough! you will leave feeling educated and excited for your new health journey!

Christine Westbury 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: After a long journey with eczema and allergies I was told by a skin specialist to "give up" and that food was not my problem. He suggested immuno-suppressant drugs. That's when I found Shelley. Shelley has found answers that no one else has, and provided solutions to creating a healthier me. It's been incredible. Healing from the inside out has been hard hard work, and it requires a lot of dedication, but so so worth it. Thanks Shelley!

Fantastic experience: I've been seeing Marlies for nearly a year and have learnt so much from her. It's been motivating, educational and successful in quite a few areas of my life, especially in helping to get rid of my psoriasis. I can't recommend her enough.

Fantastic experience: Marlies has helped me establish a more robust immune system following chemotherapy. I was literally rolling from one lung infection to the next with the resultant drop off in energy levels. Marlies’ programme to systematically sort my gut out whilst supporting my immune system and bringing more balance to the level of toxins such as heavy metals has resulted in a complete turn around in my wellbeing and energy levels. I’ll be forever grateful and look forward to remaining the most healthy me.

Fantastic experience: I have started working with Shelley for about 4/5 months now. Like many others, I have medical conditions that I have been battling with for the past 30 years, but never had the right kind of treatment or answers with traditional western medications. I have been leading an active lifetstyle and eating modestly and healthily but would still be putting on tremendous weight, be attacked by extreme fatigue frequently and not be sleeping well during the night. After seeing Shelley, I have immediately seen changes in my energy levels, have been able to shed a few kilos, do much more during day and sleep better. Shelley has lots of knowledge about how and why my body behaves the way it was and she explains my condition in a way that I understand it. I am extremely happy with how I am progressing and I am getting my sons to see her soon.

Fantastic experience: I've been working with Shelley for almost three years on some very complex health issues that a lot of conventional doctors couldn't really help with. Over this time I have found Shelley to be an incredible functional nutritionist and human. Professionally she has an expert level of knowledge and is always learning about health, wellness and ways in which to help her clients heal. This is something that I find many health practitioners don't do, and is why I have confidence and trust in her expertise. She always listens to what you want to do with your life and where you want to be and works with you to try and achieve that. Above this Shelley is genuine, authentic and kind, and having faced many tough situations on my health journey, I know that I will be treated with compassion in every appointment. I would still be struggling with so many areas of my health if it wasn't for her - including be able to learn and advocate for myself when it comes to working with conventional doctors and other health professionals. I am so grateful to work with her and will continue to do so, until the day that my health is amazing. I really respect that she works towards a future where her clients are so healed, that as Shelley says "one day you won't need me".

Fantastic experience: Shelley is the most amazing woman I know - without a doubt! She dragged me out of M.E. / chronic fatigue after doctors and hospitals told me nothing was wrong with all the tests they’d done on me. I spent weeks in and out of hospitals, and struggled more so mentally with the worries of what was going on, and why I couldn’t get out of bed and look after my 2 primary school boys and husband like any mother and wife should be able to do. Clearly something was not right, but the doctors couldn’t work it out. Shelley got me back on track with supplements, dietary changes, and empathy for my situation. I know my body now, and I know what it needs and when it needs it thanks to Shelley. Shelley continues to be there for me when things need tweaking, and I have recommended so many people to Shelley that she has been able to help. I keep a stash of her business cards with me, and people that know of my story come to me and ask who this woman is that has worked wonders I will continue to recommend Shelley to anyone who will listen!!! Thank you lovely lady

Fantastic experience: Shelley is incredibly caring and professional. She makes you feel at ease straight away and no question or symptom is too awkward to chat about. She explains everything so you can understand and takes you step by step so it’s not too hard to do or achieve I can’t recommend her enough as for me it’s been life changing!! I’m definitely a fan

Fantastic experience: A moment of synchronicity brought Shelley into my life and I haven't looked back since. She uses the same techniques she used to get her own health back and I find this the best recommendation. She is passionate and joyful in her work and my health and wellbeing are so much the better for having her in my life.

Fantastic experience: Shelley Gawith is a talented, empathetic, highly trained health professional who practices holistic, root-cause medicine. She focuses on completely resolving health issues through food and the latest integrative therapies. Although Shelley’s title is ‘functional nutritionist’ she is so much more than that. With her constant focus on learning from the world’s best functional medicine practitioners, it’s no surprise that Shelley is more knowledgeable and up-to-date than any doctor I know. And she has a heart of gold. Shelley has helped me immensely and I recommend her to everyone!

Fantastic experience: Shelley has not only helped me to personally get on top of my health issues (to help me feel worlds better!) but what I value the most is how she always explains everything and teaches me the how and why - the things that I seemed to not be able to get from other places. Shelley has taught me so much and I truly believe that is the reason I am now able to stay on top of everything, because I now know why and how! This has helped me to helps my friends and family and connecting them with Shelley too has helped them change their health. Thank you Shelley from myself and the L family!
