Eating Disorder Recovery Coaching
The time is now to take your power back and live a life on YOUR terms.
Hello! I’m Shelbye Schlange…
I’m your eating disorder recovery coach.
I’m here to use my own experience and training to guide you through your own recovery.
Having recovered from an eating disorder myself, I know first hand how the struggles of the ups and downs, the highs and the lows, the complete numbness and packed mental capacity can interfere with every aspect of your life.
I remember feeling helpless, exhausted and completely disconnected with myself, my body and my relationships. I was beginning to think that this might be my life forever.
Until, I decided to take a leap of faith and make small changes that eventually turned into huge life changes and brought me to full recovery. Recovery was not, is not, easy. I had to learn to lean on others for support to get through it.
Life isn’t perfect, and it never will be— but I learned how to find inner peace, which is exactly what I want for you.
My approach
I am here to guide you in your recovery journey through loving kindness and acceptance at all stages. I tailor each client’s journey a bit differently using personal history, how each individual responds, and what I have learned in my years of experience.
I use my intuition to adapt and understand what is best for you at a specific moment in time.
I also use my knowledge, training, schooling, and experience with nutrition and fitness along with my recovery coaching certification to create a unique approach to you and your needs.
Not everyone learns the same. Not everyone heals the same. Not every body is the same.
I make sure to support you in a way that works for YOU.
Whether it be through daily check ins, texting in a moment of need, figuring out together the next step when things don’t go as planned, eating a fear food by your side or just by providing a safe space to relax, talk it out and be yourself.
Recovery isn’t a destination, it’s the vehicle you use on your life adventure.

Teen Recovery Coaching
Being a teenager in this generation is anything but simple.
There is so much pressure to be perfect.
To look like or act like celebrities on social media.
To be noticed and valued to feel worthy.
But the problem is, this doesn’t bring genuine happiness.
Let’s discover, together, who you really are and want to be.
Let’s take the first step to living your authentic life.
Eating Disorder Recovery Coaching
Your perfectionist ways can be a strength if applied in a healthy way to both your eating and your fitness goals.
Imagine a world in which you weren’t counting calories, you weren’t afraid to eat certain food, you didn’t fill empty space with more exercising, and you fully loved yourself. That’s the world I want to help you create.
I was able to do it for myself and I know I can help you do it for yourself.
“I have been working with Shelbye for several months now on my eating disorder and could not feel more supported. She always affirms my feelings and makes me feel understood. There has never been a time that I have felt judged and that is something I have often felt from friends and family in this process. Having someone who truly cares about my recovery, and not only has the knowledge but also has the experience behind her own recovery, has made the biggest difference in this process.”

Group Support
This is an offering for in person and virtual support groups for anyone, anywhere in the world. If you are between the ages of 13-22 (some exceptions are made) this is a safe place to show up with others going through a similar life experience where you can process different aspects of life as you navigate your eating disorder, with the supervision and leadership by me.
Live In Support
Live in coaching is another level of recovery support. I understand that letting someone into your home at your most vulnerable time can be really difficult and even…“weird.” Since I am so big on connection, I really emphasize meeting you where you are at and creating the most comfortable experience possible. I am much less of a clinical live in coach, and more of a “real life” coach.
