AIP CERTIFIED COACH DIRECTORY

Hi, I’m Xenia! I help ambitious, career-driven women living with autoimmune hepatitis and/or IBD who are tired, exhausted, and struggling to keep up with their busy lifestyles. By working with me, you will regain your lost energy and take back control of your life so that you can feel like yourself again and create the life you dream of.

How can I be so sure? Because I have been there and done it. I went from high-achieving, thriving at my job, and living my best life to feeling like a complete failure in a matter of months.

I was constantly tired and in pain, unable to think straight, work, or simply lead a normal life. I couldn’t keep up with my life anymore and felt like the bright vision of my future had popped like a bubble.

At the time of diagnosis, I thought autoimmune hepatitis, PBC, and later Crohn’s disease were the worst things that had ever happened to me. As it turned out, they changed my life forever – but for the better! Finding out what works and helps me get my life back took years of trial and error. I started out reaching for health but I ended up finding so much more than that. Today, I can honestly say I am the happiest I have ever been.

Now I help people like you take back control over their lives and finally start feeling like themselves again so they don’t have to do it alone. If you want to know how working together could look, please email me. It would be an absolute honor to support you on your journey to better health and I cannot wait to hear from you!

I’ll never forget hearing my doctor diagnose me with the autoimmune disease, Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, after many years of increasing health struggles and hitting my rock bottom. I felt a surge of hope that FINALLY I held an answer, and could get my life back!

My hope lasted all of one minute until I heard words like “no cure,” “no medicine” I could take to fix it, “lifelong diagnosis,” and nothing I could do. I become a warrior that day.

I felt willing to do just about anything to feel better. Willing to do anything to not miss another of my son’s baseball games, be able to do a mud run with my daughter again, not have to rest after taking a shower, and not have to feel varying degrees of pain, anxiety, brain fog, fatigue, and fevers every single day.

I understood I’d have to live with my autoimmune disease label for the rest of my life. But I refused to believe I’d have to live with my autoimmune disease symptoms for the rest of my life. I found a way of eating specifically designed for those with autoimmune disease: the autoimmune protocol (AIP).

The AIP helped me to not only feel better than I’d felt in years, but also to rebuild my life into something more beautiful than I imagined, But it didn’t come easy. Successfully adopting the AIP felt ALL kinds of hard to me! As a result, I decided I wanted to help others like me, which led me to becoming a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner as well as an AIP Certified Coach!

I LOVE guiding my fellow autoimmune warriors through the AIP nutrition, lifestyle, and mindset. If you feel so inspired, I’d feel so honored to be part of your team and help you find JOY while learning to live well with autoimmunity.

You and I did not choose this path, but we DO get to choose where we go from here. The rest of your life CAN be the BEST of your life. It’s up to you. Only YOU have the power to transform your life into something more beautiful than you imagined. I believe in you!

I am a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, Registered Yoga Teacher, and ordained Zen Buddhist priest through San Francisco Zen Center. By day I direct a Body-Mind Education program at a local independent high school, teaching yoga, health, and wellness to adolescents, including nutrition classes based on “real food.” I added the the AIP Coach certification to my training repertoire because I believe in the healing power of food, and have been utterly dazzled by the transformation I have experienced in my own body through adopting a nutrient-dense traditional foods diet. The Autoimmune Paleo process is a powerful tool to support deep healing through food!

My name is Sybil and I’m thrilled you are here. I know it can feel frightening, lonely and confusing when you get that autoimmune diagnosis. Perhaps there is also a bit of relief that you finally know what is wrong and that it’s not all in your head. An AIP coach can help you make sense of your diagnosis, provide a confidant to share your thoughts and feelings about this new diagnosis, as well as help you make lifestyle, behavior, and nutrition changes to be support your body.

Even with a PhD in Immunology, I had a lot to learn about managing my autoimmune disease (Sjogren’s syndrome, Myasthenia gravis, Undifferentiated Connective Tissue Disease, and Raynaud’s Phenomenon) with lifestyle and behavior change and nutrition. I wanted to cement all that I had learned on my own through formal certifications so that I could help others shorten their autoimmune journey to wellness and to become empowered to take control of their own health.

I deepened my knowledge of functional nutrition (Certified Functional Nutrition Counselor, School of Applied Functional Medicine AFMC-candidate), the autoimmune protocol (AIP Certified Coach) as well as lifestyle and behavior change counseling (Master Primal Health Coach, National Board Certified Health coach (NBC-HWC), Sleep Pro Coach) in order to be able to both educate, empower and inspire my clients to take charge of their health in all aspects of their lives.

With my background knowledge, my own personal experience of living well with autoimmunity and my love of learning, I can be a guide on your individual autoimmune journey to wellness. Email me to share where you are on your path, what you’d like to accomplish and schedule a 20-min chat to see how we may work together.

Hi! My name is Jaime, and I am a certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, a licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C), and an AIP certified coach. I love teaching others about real, nutrient-dense foods, and the impact that they have on our health.

Through my Restart® Program, individual nutrition coaching, workshops, and whole food education, I empower others with the knowledge and skills that they need to make lasting and sustainable changes. When working individually with clients, we focus on the “root cause” of various symptoms that they are experiencing and find ways to support and bring balance in the body.

Hi I’m Cassie, Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, RWS Practitioner, Certified AIP Coach and owner of Verve Nutritional Therapy. My clinical focus is on gut health, painful digestive issues, IBS, Crohn’s disease, Ulcerative Colitis and women’s hormones.

As an FNTP, I take a foundational approach to nutrition and supporting the body’s own ability to rebalance and heal. In addition to my focus on nutrition, I utilize functional lab testing in my practice to discover the underlying imbalances that have lead to dysfunction in the body.

I believe that our body communicates with us through symptoms and I am passionate about helping my clients discover the root of their symptoms. When we understand the root cause or the “why” behind our symptoms, we can begin to support the body appropriately and in doing so the body can heal and our health can be restored.

I take a holistic approach when I work with clients. I want to get to know you and all the crazy things you’ve been through! We dig in deep to find the root causes of your health concerns, and I work to find and make the best plan to fit you. This includes a comprehensive nutrition assessment, food and mood journal, physical assessment and a tailor-made nutritional road map to meet your health goals. In this process, I will provide you with tangible and realistic steps to take.

We all know getting and staying healthy is challenging! My aim is to come alongside you to provide personal support and guidance to overcome your challenges. You will not find a one-size-fits all program with me; everything is built individually for your healing journey. Nutritional Therapy is about creating a sustainable lifestyle and lasting wellness, and I want to help you feel better.

About Me: Hi there, I’m Jamie Nicole, your Certified AIP (Autoimmune Protocol) Coach. My journey into the world of autoimmune wellness was not just a career choice but a deeply personal path that started when I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, followed by a diagnosis of Narcolepsy.

My Health Journey: My journey to better health was a rollercoaster ride, marked by a complex web of symptoms and diagnoses. I know firsthand what it’s like to experience the frustrations, uncertainties, and the persistent insecurities that often accompany chronic illness. In the midst of my own personal battles, I discovered the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP), a true game-changer that ignited remarkable transformations in my health.

Serving as a board member at a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), I actively apply my advocacy knowledge to dismantle healthcare barriers that might obstruct your path to healing. When you select me as your coach, you’re not merely gaining guidance; you’re securing an advocate who ardently champions your health and well-being, ensuring that your journey is both informed and equitable.

As a functional medicine health coach, I use AIP and individualised interventions to get to the root causes of your autoimmunity. Together we work in making profound and long-lasting changes which will turn your health around.

Autoimmune sufferers often suffer in silence – I know, I was one of them. The prognosis offered by doctors is pretty dire. And yet, through functional medicine, so much can be achieved. At worst, you’ll dramatically reduce your pain and improve your energy and vitality to the point of not feeling constantly exhausted. At best, you may achieve remission.

I’m a very practical, action orientated person and I apply the same philosophy to my health coaching practice: we work on positive habits creation, all of which have to be achievable and fit around your life – it’s about small incremental modifications that add up to huge changes. I also totally believe in enjoying this process, so we will make it as fun as possible. It doesn’t mean it will be easy every day, but I will support you to make it as easy as possible.

I work with individuals on a one-to-one basis. I also run group programmes, which are not only hugely effective, but also cost efficient for those who have a smaller budget or don’t feel the need for fully personalised support.

My clients to-date have achieved positive improvements in as little as 6 weeks.

My programmes will allow you to short-cut the process and achieve the types of results it took me more than a year to achieve by myself.
