For Health Coaches & Functional Practitioners

Foundational support before more protocols, testing, supplements, or intensity.

From information to implementation resulting in transformation.

MY SHAPES Matrix turns scattered lifestyle advice into a repeatable, behavior-based system. It combines training & certification, a client-facing dashboard, and a companion tool that keeps you, the practitioner, connected to every client between sessions.

You know the basics matter. What you’re missing is a repeatable structure with tangible implementation.

Without a system, every client session drifts to the same place — more protocols, more testing, more intensity — before the foundation is even stable. The client works harder, spends more, still doesn’t feel different, and quietly goes silent on the plan.

The provider keeps adding, adjusting, and re-testing and develops a protocol hamster wheel that never identifies where the client actually is. Both end up exhausted. The foundation is still unstable.

Foundations aren’t the warm-up before the real work. They are the real work.

2 clients who stay instead of going quiet after session two easily covers this investment.

The Method

A behavior-based framework built on Mindset, Beliefs and 6 daily rhythms.

MY SHAPES Matrix treats the body as a conversation, not a collection of disconnected symptoms.

The MY SHAPES Matrix training & certification teaches practitioners how to combine mindset, beliefs, and the six daily SHAPES rhythms with a tangible client dashboard that makes behavior patterns easier to see, track, and coach. The dashboard shows where a client is right now, which foundation is most out of balance and where to begin. The coaching methodology teaches you how to read what their body is communicating, identify where capacity is depleted, and guide small shifts that create ownership before layering on deeper protocols. This gives practitioners a repeatable way to move clients from information into implementation, so change becomes practical, personal, and sustainable.

MY SHAPES Matrix turns scattered lifestyle advice into a behavior-based priority system practitioners can hand clients on day one.

Mindset & Beliefs

Mindset and Your Beliefs. The underlying drivers to what SHAPES your day.

The MY in MY SHAPES stands for Mindset and Your Beliefs, the layer addressed before the six pillars, not after them. Built on the Awareness to Attainment coaching methodology, it helps you read a client’s true readiness before asking for change, and reframes nutrition as every input that feeds or depletes a person, physical, emotional, and spiritual.

Optional faith based resources are available for practitioners who want to bring a biblical framework into this conversation with Christian clients. The core methodology works with or without that layer.

SHAPES — The Six Pillars

The six daily rhythms you coach.

Sleep

Restorative rhythm and recovery capacity.
Hydration

Activity

Poop / Digestion

Same structure, every session. You always know where to start.

See the friction. Behavior-based assessments surface which foundational area is most out of balance.

Prioritize the next step. Scoring tells you what to simplify and where to begin — not everything at once.

Keep clients engaged. Doable, trackable shifts mean better follow-through and better outcomes.

Between Sessions

A trained chat companion that keeps the practitioner in the loop, not out of it.

Most client apps are built to replace the practitioner between sessions. This one isn’t. It checks in between visits, tracks progress against their SHAPES score, and generates a summary before every session so your client walks in prepared and can begin implementing little shifts between sessions.

The client stays a participant in their own story, not a passenger, which is what drives real adherence when a clinical protocol gets layered on later.

The Proof

From practitioners already using MY SHAPES Matrix

SHAPES lets me see the simple daily behaviors impacting my clients’ health, and assess which areas need to be addressed in priority.

Stefanie G. PhD, CCHP, CFNC

It gave me a way to structure my coaching in lifestyle and mind-body medicine — simple changes with big impact, without overwhelming clients who are emotionally fragile and navigating complex conditions.

S. Graffinga PhD, CCHP, CFNC

SHAPES allowed me as a practitioner to stay high level when working with clients but not sacrifice or cut corners when it comes to teaching and owning the foundations as step 1. SHAPES holds my clients accountable so I can guide them deeper into their healing journey without feeling like they need to overhaul their life in a day.

Virginia W. BSNRN, CCHP

I use SHAPES to get baseline assessments and educate clients on what is in their control — helping them claim authority in seasons of feeling helpless and overwhelmed.

L. Hurst PhD PT, NBHWC

SHAPES doesn’t overwhelm people with too many things at once. A client can address one or two aspects at a time and feel the benefit in a tangible way.

Laurie H. PhD, NBHWC

Sarah Gallander
Your Instructor

I built SHAPES because I learned what it costs when a system suppresses symptoms instead of reading them.

I’m Sarah Gallander, a Functional Lifestyle Nutritionist with 25+ years in nutrition and health education — and a recovery story (Lyme, Bartonella, Babesia, and mold) that taught me the body is always communicating, if you have a structure to listen.

MY SHAPES Matrix is the regulation-first method I wish I’d had: assessment logic, shared language, and a clear implementation path without losing your own clinical judgment or voice. It brings the client back into their story resulting in sustained engagement.

Questions, answered

Functional nutritionists, health coaches, and holistic wellness practitioners who know their clients need more than another protocol — and want a clear way to assess foundations, find the biggest point of friction, and guide small daily shifts that stick.
No. SHAPES is foundation-first. It helps you stabilize the basics that determine whether any advanced protocol can even work — it complements your clinical judgment rather than replacing it.
It’s fully self-paced with no live attendance required. Most practitioners complete certification within 7–10 days of onboarding.
A digital MY SHAPES certificate, the Certified SHAPES Practitioner (CSP) designation, a website/social icon, and permission to market the framework publicly across your website, socials, and marketing.
You’ll get a confirmation email, enter your onboarding sequence, and receive instant dashboard access at app.myshapesmatrix.com (first year included, renewed annually).
Not yet. MY SHAPES Matrix certification is currently in the process of pursuing CEU accreditation. Right now, it’s an implementation license: training in the framework, plus certified access to the client dashboard and companion tool. If continuing education credit is a requirement for your license renewal, reach out directly for a timeline update.
Awareness to Attainment is the coaching methodology behind the MY layer of MY SHAPES Matrix. It’s built on established behavior change science: staged models of change, motivational interviewing, the cognitive behavioral link between thoughts, emotions, and behavior, and research on self-regulation and accountability. Layered on top of that is Sarah’s own pattern sequencing, developed over 20+ years working directly with clients through behavior change. Together, that combination is what moves a client from simply being aware of a pattern to actually attaining a new one, instead of stalling out somewhere in between.
Yes. MY SHAPES Matrix is a coaching and education framework built around assessment, tracking, and behavior change tools. It does not diagnose, prescribe, or treat, and it is designed to work within a health coach’s scope as well as a licensed practitioner’s.
It’s more than a certification. Certified practitioners aren’t limited to running MY SHAPES Matrix once and moving on — the framework supports recurring offers: a signature foundational program built around the MY layer and the six pillars, a maintenance membership for clients who have completed the initial work and want ongoing accountability through the dashboard and companion tool, and group or cohort programs that scale past one-on-one sessions. The certification is the entry point. What you build on top of it is up to you.

“The MY SHAPES Matrix framework is a desperately needed return to the foundations of health — a guide inward to tune out the noise and tune into what our bodies actually need.”

— Presley T. HLC, INHC, IHP

Stop stacking protocols. Start with the foundation.

Small shifts, sustainable success. The MY SHAPES Matrix training & certification is open.
