Shauné Hayes
Food for Life Instructor

Hi, I’m Shauné. A few years ago, I hit a turning point. After years of living with obesity and chronic illnesses, I decided to take back my health. Step by step, I moved toward a whole-food, plant-based lifestyle—nothing extreme, just steady changes that added up. The result? I lost 127 pounds and watched conditions like hypertension, prediabetes, high cholesterol, arthritis, acid reflux, and PCOS disappear.
That journey changed me inside and out. It also gave me a new purpose: helping others experience the same freedom and joy I’ve found. Today I’m a Licensed Food for Life Instructor, health coach, plant-based educator, and NASM Certified Personal Trainer, blending evidence-based knowledge with real-life experience.
I’ve now opened my own plant-based nutrition and culinary center, where individuals and families come to learn how to cook, move, and live for vibrant health. My mission is simple: to show that healthy living can be practical, joyful, and truly life-changing.
