Cicely has both challenged and supported my ideas and knowledge about nutrition and fitness. She has helped me build realistic and healthy nutrition goals while also encouraging an overall healthy lifestyle to include physical fitness. She is also easy to talk to and genuinely cares about her clients. I think of her as my lifestyle therapist. Thank you!

If you're thinking about seeing a nutritionist, you should book Cicely at Thrive Nutrition. She is patient and nonjudgemental in addition to being incredibly intelligent. She started me off tracking foods which is a simple picture as well as listened to what my concerns were. She had me feeling much better within 2 months. The meal plan she put together for me was absolutely incredible. Everything was delicious and I didn't feel deprived at all. 100% recommend Cicely.

Cicely Shankar is nothing less than an inspiring miracle worker. She is also sweet, fun to work withand a facts geek, as am I. Almost without trying I am in 70-95% less pain. I lost 48 pounds in 4 months WHILE EATING MORE THAN I HAVE IN DECADES. And I enjoy my food much more too! My migraines are much fewer and my activity level increased about 75% just because I felt so much better. I actually tracked much of this due to migraines. The sad Tito s are as valid as these types of statistics can get. My brain function (Long Covid) increased tremendously. If I don’t have a migraine I’m back to normal and had been a wreck since the first few months of Covid in the US.
On Mother’s Day I ate 6 crackers with Blue Cheese and prosciutto and some purchased chocolate pie. I was miserably sick for 6 days. This type of meal plan works, and for me it is vital. I’ve been with friends to their dieticians and nutritionists. Cicely is about the best person anywhere for info, support and hope. All of which people with chronic illnesses desperately need. Wish we could clone her!

I literally Thanked Cicily for being born, going to school and knowing my daughter who referred me. Cicily has helped me hands down more than the other 6 medical professionals I’ve seen. I contracted Covid in October of 2020 and my physical and Mental Health were decimated. When I came to cicily I was on heavy anxiety medication that wasn’t working, went from 146 lbs to 183 even with diet and exercise. And also suffering from Extreme Insomnia. Cicily listened to me about my health concerns and taught me so much about nutrition, dieting, adrenals, cortisol , natural medicine and so much more. I actually thought I was a very healthy eater and was in good health even before Covid got me , but I was wrong. Found out I had leaky gut, I had food sensitivities that caused inflammation pain , adrenal function was in the toilet, It’s been 1 year working with Cicily and would not be where I am now if it wasn’t for her. She led me down the path to healing! I have excellent gut health now! My aches and pains are less now that my inflammation is under control by not eating the foods my body is sensitive to! I am no longer on anxiety medications, I’m sleeping 6 1/2 hrs now on average, eating Whole Foods and loosing weight 10 lbs so far!! My husband has not met Cicily yet but when he does I know he will Thank her profusely, we are both so Grateful!

Cicely provided excellent nutrition insight, direction and encouragement on my journey to better health. I learned how to make better food choices so I could heal my body and reach weight loss goals. I would recommend Cicely with Thrive Nutrition Consulting when considering a nutritionist.

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about my experience with Cicely!! She is not only incredibly knowledgeable, but is very understanding to the limitations of each individuals health journey. The last 2 weeks as her client have been eye opening and life changing ? Thank you for all your hard work!

Cicely has made such a huge difference in my life over the last 5 months! With her encouragement, judgement-free approach, and listening ear, she has helped change the way I view food, eating, and nutrition as a whole. She has explained things in a way that gives me that, “Oh! I get it!” lightbulb moment that is usually what I need to implement change. I am not perfect, and that’s okay. I still struggle, but I know I have someone willing to help me, with the tools to do so. I still have a very long journey ahead, and have many more milestones of change to pass by along the way; but I’m not afraid of the challenge like I once was. Even with the past two months of struggle, I feel like I’m not alone - that I have someone there beside me, cheering me to just keep going. For the first time since I began putting on weight, I don’t feel defeated. I can see the end goal, and the checkpoints along the way. It’s still a long journey, but I know I can accomplish it and see it through.

Thank you, Cicely. Because of your help - your kind and gentle approach (which I personally need and respond well to) I have accomplished what I once felt was impossible. It no longer feels that way - even if it’s taking longer than I expected lol I know it’s my own stumbling blocks holding me back. I can see them now, and have more control over whether or not I actively choose to sidestep them, or stumble over them. Either way, I eventually get past it, which I couldn’t have said was true at the beginning of this journey.

Thank you. ?
