Nutrition & Somatic Healing
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
$222
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 problems.
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.

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.
