Hear It From Our Clients

Working with Shanti has been one of the most empowering and supportive decisions I’ve made for my health. I trust her completely—not just with my goals, but with my overall well-being. Her deep, science-based understanding of physiology, especially when it comes to female and athletic bodies, is truly unmatched. She meets you exactly where you are, tuning in to your personal needs while offering practical, meaningful guidance that leads to real change. What sets Shanti apart is her whole-body, natural approach. She’s not someone who pushes a Western medicine fix for everything—she’s incredibly attuned to the body’s natural rhythms and honors the simplicity and wisdom of how we’re built. She challenges me in the best ways, always pushing me toward actual growth while being emotionally supportive and truly caring along the way. And honestly—her approach works. I’ve been dealing with insulin resistance and hormonal shifts, and in just two months I’ve experienced a major, positive transformation in how I feel and how my body functions. I first worked with Shanti before my wedding and reached my goals, and came back to her when I decided to come off birth control. The results have been even more powerful the second time around. If you’re ready to take real action and make sustainable, lifelong changes for your health, I can’t recommend Shanti enough. She’s the real deal.

“What intrigued me about working with Shanti was the interest she takes in how your belly and digestive system reacts to the foods that you are currently consuming. Is your digestive system happy? Since I am an emotional person it was helpful to approach it from my belly’s perspective rather than with my head/heart/emotions. Of course, they all came into play, it was just better to give my belly a chance at the start! I have been working with Shanti for about 4 months and have made some big changes. Do you want to hear something super cool? Since I was a kid, I have had trouble sleeping. For the past 4 years, I have taken some sort of sleep-aid every night. Since June, I have not had to take anything and have been sleeping 8 hours a night, uninterrupted. That is from changing my diet. Unbelievable how powerful it is.”

“I didn’t realize how much better I could be feeling until I started working with Happy Belly Health®. Getting individual support for the things my body needs has been something I always wanted but couldn’t find until I found Shanti. I think everyone deserves to invest in making themselves their best self, and Shanti helps you get there unlike anyone else.”

“Changing the way I eat has been challenging, but sure worth the trouble. I’ve lost 40 pounds and no longer have heart burn and indigestion. I get to have lots of fun with my wife now. Thanks, HBH!”

“If you are tired of all that yo-yo dieting, struggling with food, and feeling like a failure (like I was), then I strongly recommend Shanti and Happy Belly Health. This is an entirely different kind of experience – and a very good one! At least it was for me.”
Kathy S.

“Thank you, Shanti for your support, knowledge, professionalism, creativity and sunny disposition. I’m doing the Curb Your Cravings® program and I’m not on a diet. I eat a lot of really good food and have a tremendous amount of energy. Also, since giving up caffeine and sugar, my mood swings have gone away. My boyfriend is very happy about that!”
