I am a Holistic Health Coach and Faith-Based Wellness Advocate.

Welcome to The Beautifully Balanced Life! I’m Tonya Shelby. As a wife, mom, Gigi, and independent Baptist missionary wife in Kenya for over 25 years, I’ve walked a path full of challenges, triumphs, and growth. My journey to holistic living wasn’t sparked by a single moment but by years of seeking better solutions for my family’s needs through all stages of life. From raising babies and homeschooling teenagers to navigating health crises and the joys of becoming an empty nester, I’ve learned that balance is key to thriving in every season. Living in Kenya has shaped much of who I am. From remote areas with limited access to healthcare to adjusting to new cultures, languages, and ministry needs, every experience strengthened my resolve to find natural, effective ways to care for my family. Through in-depth research, endless trial and error, and specialized training in holistic health, Christian health coaching, and essential oils, I’ve found solutions rooted in God’s creation.

Faith is the Foundation My faith in Christ is at the heart of everything I do. The Bible reminds us that our bodies are temples of the Holy Ghost (1 Corinthians 6:19), and I believe God calls us to care for them with diligence and gratitude. He created the herbs, whole foods, and natural remedies that sustain and heal us, reminding us of His love and provision. When we prioritize our health and balance, we’re better equipped to serve Him, be present for our families, and make an impact in our ministries and communities.

My Mission I’ve seen firsthand how a healthy, balanced life transforms everything—from energy to relationships and even the ability to fulfill our God-given callings. My mission is to help Christian women like you discover that you can take control of your health, nurture your family, and thrive without compromising your values or feeling overwhelmed. Through faith-based resources, toxin-free products, and holistic education, I’m here to empower you to live fully for Christ while caring for yourself and your loved ones. Let’s Thrive Together Whether you’re looking for practical tools, encouragement, or someone who understands the challenges of balancing faith, health, and family, I’m here to walk this journey with you. Together, let’s embrace the life God intended—a beautifully balanced life.
