Dana Schaub

I am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, dancer turned fitness instructor, writer, and health coach. I live on the beautiful and humid Gulf Coast with my husband, 2 boys, and 3 dogs.I have been a practicing Dietitian since 2007 and have had the opportunity to work in various health settings. Currently, I see clients both virtually and in-person through my private practice, “Whole Self Care.” I also teach mindfulness-based flow and dance style fitness classes.

After developing a passion for health at a very young age, I endured my own journey of disordered eating, overexercise, stress, burn out, gut issues, and imbalanced hormones. Learning to focus on body attunement and nourishment-based eating led to improved mental and physical health, enhancing my passion for helping my clients do the same.

I am passionate about helping my clients truly care for themselves from the inside out. I use a "whole health" approach, looking at all factors possibly affecting eating habits and health. This may include exercise, stress, sleep, and ingrained health beliefs in addition to nutrition. I meet clients where they are and strive to be a strong source of support on their health journeys. I use an intuitive approach to nutrition, inspired by the principles of “Intuitive Eating.” This means using both inner wisdom of how our bodies are made, and outer wisdom of how food affects our health. I help my clients move away from restrictive diets and work towards a peaceful, compassionate relationship with food, movement, and wellness. I also use an integrative approach, looking for ways to address the root cause of gut and hormone imbalances through eating and lifestyle habits.
