I help health-conscious women restore what stress has taken.

I’ve been in your shoes.

Years ago I experienced a massive flare of eczema all over my neck and face.

MY PERFECT STORM:

Ignoring stress from career change and raising a new family.
Ignoring mild gut symptoms: throat clearing after I ate, burping, not pooping daily, itchy scalp.
A straw that broke the camel’s back (prolonged environmental toxin exposure).

I woke up to my body screaming for help one morning in the form of a disfiguring rash.

What.the.actual…..
My body probably saying, “Can’t ignore me now!”

I thought I knew exactly what to do to take care of my health---I mean, I spent 6 years in school studying anatomy and biochem, ate all the veggies and made kombucha on the weekends.

I thought I was the picture of health.

But my eczema flare revealed it wasn’t as good as I thought. And actually, I was accidentally making things worse by doing things half-ass in the wrong order.

I hit a low...

...experimenting with food sensitivity testing, restricting my diet and then reacting worse to foods than before when I reintroduced.

I’ll never forget eating a handful of pecans and my eye swelling almost immediately. I never remembered having food sensitivities in the past and I had made the situation worse. 😳

I was confused, worried and in pain. And that wasn't all....

Inflammation also created unnecessary fatigue for me.

I would be tired after things I shouldn't be tired after, like eating lunch and drinking coffee!

I didn't have the energy or stamina or give-a-damn to clean the house or cook dinner after work.

As a health professional, I knew something was majorly wrong to have a flare like this.

I tried to find an expert to help me and saw doctors, naturopaths and other “healers”. But no one had great answers for me except for the standard shallow toolbox.

Feeling desperate 😭, I dove deep into research, testing and trials to find the root causes of my symptoms.

By calming my immune system and repleting deficiencies, I cleared my rash, improved my energy and quit living like a hangry bear that wouldn't be without 10 snacks packed everywhere I went!

I turned my health around & you can too.

I healed (thank you GOD!) and became obsessed with helping clients get great results too! ……..Without restrictive, long term, one-size-fits all diets or a never ending slog of supplements.

NUTRITION PHILOSOPHY

The Less Stressed Life

Over Restriction is Dead

Sustainable, synergistic nutrition is in

(the opposite of whack a mole supplementation & supplement graveyards)

Whole food is soul food and fed is best

You don’t have to figure it out alone

Do your best and leave the rest

Experience is one of the greatest educational tools, and my kids and husband inform some of the nuance necessary to support our pediatric & male clients as each has had their own burden of health issues.

Frequent seasonal illness, urinary/bowel dysfunction, skin rashes, hidradenitis suppurativa, slow wound healing, mold toxicity, extreme fatigue, and musculoskeletal issues are just some of the issues we’ve dealt with as a family.

One of our practice goals is for you to become an expert in your own body so you can improve the life of your family with holistic health.

It's time to:

Stop stressing about your health, food and missing out on life because you just don’t have the energy.
Relax about meeting friends for a meal AND be able to choose what you want off the menu.

WITHOUT needing long term, restrictive diets.

You always have options, even if you think you’ve tried everything.

As a Registered Nurse and health coach, I already considered myself "well" medically. But I was stuck on a hamster wheel of fatigue, body aches, puffiness, and weight gain and my husband had constant stuffiness and an odd smell in his nasal cavity we couldn't explain.

Christa's supplement and dietary recommendations increased my energy and focus and resolved the aches, reflux, and bloating I'd been battling for years. She even recommended treatment for my husband; his nasal odor disappeared and his energy improved.

The most impressive thing about working with Christa is the wealth of experience and knowledge she has about finding the missing links and treating people naturally vs. just going to your family practice physician and getting the run around of being placed on yet another antibiotic for vague symptoms.

I hope that practitioners like Christa continue to treat others and share their expertise so that people become more aware of listening to their bodies and participating in holistic healthcare.
