Nutritional Therapy

As a trauma-informed practitioner, I understand that while our bodies may have been the seat of painful experiences, it is also the place where we begin the process of healing.
Because you are unique and your biochemistry is unique, creating a treatment protocol that is specifically tailored to your bio-individual needs is important. My wish is to instill hope, strength, relief, and propel you to make long lasting change.

GAPS Heal your Gut
60 Day Program
$333
Developed by Dr. Natasha McBride, GAPS is a gut healing protocol that removes all grains, starches, sugar, and processed food, then incorporates bone broths/meat stocks, healthy fats, meats, fruits, vegetables and fermented foods.
This protocol has become well-known for its effectiveness in treating autistic spectrum disorders, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD/ADD), schizophrenia, dyslexia, dyspraxia, depression, obsessive –compulsive disorder, bi-polar disorder and other neuro-psychological and psychiatric disorders.
It is ideal for those who suffer from food allergies and/or other food sensitivities. After a period of time being on this diet, one can slowly introduce different foods back in small amounts as the gut lining heals.
This treatment approach revolves around 3 main principles:
1. Eliminating inflammatory foods
2. Repopulating the gut with beneficial bacteria
3. Detoxification
Healthy gut health is essential for the proper functioning of our bodies, and through the healing and sealing of the gut lining, many health issues can be corrected.

4 Week Somatic Awareness
$222-333
In efforts to help more people access methods for their self-healing, I am offering this service on a sliding scale.
*This is supplemental guidance after we have established your nutrition plan together.
Our emotions are an important part of the life force that is constantly moving through us. If we don't allow ourselves to fully experience our emotions, we stop the natural flow of that life force. Energy gets blocked in our physical bodies and may remain that way for years or even a lifetime, unless it is released. This leads to emotional and physical pain and disease.
With somatic awareness, you will learn to read your "body story" and connect with your Embodied Self through:
Breath
Resonance
Movement
Touch
I offer guidance to help you increase awareness of your own movements and body sensations to explore your inner world - the subpersonalities that hold emotions, perceptions, and belief systems that affect behavior and emotional wellness.
Includes weekly check-in with nervous systems regulation, Emotional Freedom Technique (tapping), expressive arts prompts, conscious movement exercises, and community resource sharing.
Somatic practices include:
Orienting-- stimulate the ventral vagus nerve to help you recognize relative safety in the present moment
Resourcing-- identify and access internal strengths, resources, and positive memories
Self-regulating - guide yourself through your emotions so you can shift gears when they’re leading you to feel distressed
Pantry and Fridge Makeover
$77/1 hr session
(each additional hr $55)
This is a non-judgmental, educational coaching session where I come to your home and identify the most problematic foods and help teach you how to read nutrition labels and ingredients.
This service not only encourages and promotes organization in your kitchen, it also supports healthier ways of eating.
Included with this service is a food guide to help you choose healthier options as well as a glossary of food additives to look out for.
*Requires completion of client intake form. This will help me personalize your experience and prepare you for your highest achievement.
*This service is only offered locally.
What is Amino Acid Therapy?
Amino acid therapy is a non-addictive, natural, and safe way to use free-form amino acids as a supplement to boost your own levels of mood boosting neurotransmitters.
5-HTP and Tryptophan boosts SEROTONIN
Feel positive, confident, flexible, and easygoing
Tyrosine and Phenylalanine boosts CATECHOLAMINES
Feel energized, focused, upbeat, and motivated
GABA boosts itself (GABA)
Feel calm, relaxed, and stress free
DL-phenylalanine and D-phenylalanine boosts ENDORPHINS
Feel comfort, pleasure, and euphoria
Glutamine boosts ENERGY for all brain cells
Feel sense of stability, groundedness, and balance blood sugar to fight cravings and addiction
Amino acids usually crosses the blood-brain barrier and creates a mood shift within 20 minutes.
This often brings relief from many psycho-emotional symptoms, without the many side effects of pharmaceuticals.
You will not have to wait weeks or months to know if you’re using the right amino acid. The effects are immediately evident.
On average, an amino acid treatment is from 2-6 months.

What is your mood type?
The Four Part Mood-Type Questionnaire will help to pinpoint which of your neurotransmitters may be inadequate. Using this knowledge, we can begin supplementation with the necessary amino acids.
Click on any of the below neurotransmitters to take the mood quiz associated.
