About Robin

Robin Shirley is a mom to a 4 year old boy and 6 year old girl. She is CPR and First Aid Certified. Robin is also certified as an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach with a background in Business Management from Virginia Tech. Robin was born and raised in Virginia and plans to spend the rest of her life enjoying the beautiful views of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

After being diagnosed with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis and Lyme disease at age 11, Robin embarked on a lifelong mission to take back her health through integrative nutrition and other natural approaches. Robin founded a company called Take Back Your Health in 2011 and has been running health conferences and retreats for the last 13 years. She believes that there is a lot of room for improvement when it comes to how we set up our children for a healthy and successful life. Her experience with the integrative health model will guide the development of The Compass Center Foundation’s programs.

“There is a lack of connection in the childhood education experience – connection to self, connection to others, connection to nature, connection to wellbeing, and connection to community. I am passionate about bringing this connection back to the childhood education experience.
