I am a pediatric physical therapist with greater than 30 years of clinical experience in early brain injury and movement disorders. My own personal experiences led me to seek out more information on the link between the gut, mental and physical wellness. In repairing and improving myself, it gradually dawned on me that many of those I see with childhood onset disability are facing similar health and mobility challenges. The result is significant impacts on their health, happiness, ability to function well, or feel well. While Coaching is not my primary focus, I integrate it into my current practice in order to assist children and their families in a more complete way, and support them as the inevitable speed bumps.

Mary Wilson Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner

Hello! I’m Mary a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and Board Certified in Holistic Nutrition. Like you or someone you know, I’m on the autoimmune disease spectrum. I co-founded Evergreen Wellness Academy with another Functional Nutritionist who is also on the autoimmune spectrum, and our experiences are what have driven us to create Evergreen Wellness Academy for you. Our goal is to provide you with the care and support that we, like so many autoimmune warriors, never received but absolutely deserve.

The power of diet and lifestyle first caught my attention when I was informed by my doctor that I was running full speed toward pre-diabetes. Unfortunately, I did not get much guidance from my doctor and ended up having to figure out how to help myself.

In the process of learning how to balance my blood sugar, my thyroid antibodies started to come down. Symptoms related to my under-performing thyroid also began to diminish. The power of nutrient-dense food and supportive lifestyle techniques was undeniable. I knew I had to spread the word far and wide about my experience in the hopes that it would inspire others to consider doing the same for themselves.

The experience of having to educate and advocate for myself is what led me to focus on supporting women challenged by autoimmune disease. I don’t want anyone to experience the loneliness, frustration, and overwhelm that I and too many others have experienced. I’m here for you, let’s work together!

Stephanie Lynch MEd, AIP Coach, Certified Personal Trainer and Nutrition Coach

Address:
Halifax, Nova Scotia
Canada
*Also Practices Virtually Worldwide


Greetings from Nova Scotia, Canada! My name is Stephanie Lynch, owner of Harmonized Health Halifax. I have been an educator for over 25 years and a passion for health and wellness led me to also pursue certifications as a Personal Trainer, Corrective Exercise Specialist and Nutrition Coach. I believe wholeheartedly that health is not a look, an age, a size, or a number. I am passionate about helping clients find joyful ways to appreciate, move and fuel their unique, amazing bodies.

My own struggles with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis led me to the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) about 5 years ago. The incredible success I experienced, and continue to experience, on the Autoimmune Protocol inspired me to become a certified Autoimmune Protocol Coach. My goal is to support as many people as I can who are coping with autoimmune illness, or suspected autoimmune illness, by coaching them through all facets of AIP.

My educational specialization is in the area of differentiation; the ability to customize one’s learning experiences. This is something I carry into my personal training, AIP and Nutrition Coaching as well as I create programs specific to each individual with whom I have the privilege to support. I do not believe that one size fits all; we all come to this journey with unique strengths and challenges. I will work diligently beside you, supporting you on YOUR healing journey, modifying as necessary, in ways that best fit your unique set of circumstances. With an extensive teaching background, my goal is to listen, support, educate and empower you with the knowledge and strategies that will help you to minimize your Autoimmune symptoms and maximize your health.

Hello there! I am excited you are in the process of finding a health coach that is right for you. I have physically and mentally observed the powerful effect food has on my body. I was diagnosed with celiac disease at the age of five, following two years of malnourishment, terrible digestion, and stunted growth. Adopting a strict gluten-free diet improved my health immensely, but it was never enough to provide optimal health. However, after seeking out my own health coach/nutritionist, and removing many “AIP illegal foods” from my diet, I was able to fix my gut imbalances to provide the energy and nourishment for optimal health, which I believe everyone deserves. As a Certified Nutrition Therapy Practitioner, I believe in bio-individuality, thus requiring different healing protocols for each person. In our fast-paced society today, people are susceptible to developing gut flora disturbances, due to stress, diet, lifestyle, etc. Healing the gut is my primary focus, specializing in gut imbalances such as SIBO, IBS, candida overgrowth, bacterial dysbiosis, leaky gut syndrome, and celiac disease.

Christelle is a Functional Nutrition Practitioner based in San Diego, California. She spent her early years between France and the United Kingdom before settling in the United States, and today, she practices in person and virtually, with both French and English speaking clients.

Prior to discovering the field of functional wellness, Christelle worked as a corporate language coach in France. It was during this time that she began to wonder whether the birth control pill she had been taking for years was truly benefitting her. She had been prescribed oral contraceptives as a teenager to “help regulate her cycles”, and despite the unwanted side effects, she didn’t trust her body’s ability to function correctly without them. One day, she took a leap of faith, and decided it was time to ditch the pill and become educated on all things menstrual health. To her amazement, her cycle returned without any irregularities, and over time, she learned to track the subtle signs of hormone fluctuations occurring throughout the month. Better still, she discovered how impactful diet and lifestyle could be for her overall health. This newfound empowerment sparked a fire, and, following her international wedding and move to California, she trained with the Nutritional Therapy Association and began working with clients.

After being in practice for several years, she became certified with Functional Diagnostic Nutrition so as to incorporate functional lab testing and in-depth therapeutic modalities into her service offering. Being able to look under the hood and find hidden drivers of imbalance can be the missing link for many people with “mystery symptoms”.

Christelle’s calling to dig deep and help people elucidate their health mysteries arose from her own attempt to make sense of her father’s abrupt passing when she was 12. He suffered a fatal heart attack despite being told by his GP, a few weeks prior, that he was “healthy”. Somehow, the explanations provided by the conventional medical profession in the wake of this tragedy fell flat (genetics/bad luck/etc.). After all, he was 40 years old, and had no formerly diagnosed pathology. Looking back, she believes that he had all the telltale signs of metabolic disease. Unfortunately, this was back in the 90’s, when low-fat diets, margarine, and refined flour were deemed “wellness trends”.  It took years for her to transform her trauma into a quest to find answers – for herself and for her clients.

She often works with individuals who have also gone through similar traumatic life events, and while the scope of her practice is limited to physical wellness, she is deeply aware of the subtle body – mind interactions, and the ways in which trauma drives physical imbalance, particularly autoimmunity.

Today, she continues to consult with clients 1:1. She is also active in the French-speaking holistic health education space, teaching alongside likeminded practitioners.

As a Hashimoto’s patient herself, Christelle has profound empathy for those who suffer in silence. She loves to help her clients to find bio-individual solutions. Her approach is truly holistic.

Mindy Hazen Occupational Therapist, OTR/L

Address:
Harrisonville, Missouri

*Practices Virtually Worldwide

Hi, I’m Mindy. I have been working in acute care treating adults with chronic illness/autoimmune disease, etc. in the area of Occupational Therapy, for 23 years. The last 11 years, I have also started working with infants and their families, in the NICU.

It’s my own personal journey with illness that led me to the world of AIP. I found myself very ill after receiving a vaccine. I spent nearly a year trying to find answers through tests, doctor visits, etc. After I was very overwhelmed with my results from a food sensitivity test, I crossed paths with a dietician, who recommended I navigate my new findings with AIP.  It was when I was studying AIP that I became aware, that I was in fact suffering from autoimmune disease.
 I did most of my healing through diet and lifestyle changes with AIP.  Then when my healing hit a plateau, I started working with a functional medicine physician. I have been diagnosed with Raynaud’s disease, suspected celiac disease, and now I am aware that my Endometriosis, which I have had for over half of my life, is also autoimmune.  I have been searching for answering for most of my adult life, as to why I was always fatigued, never felt well, couldn’t lose weight, etc. Never in all these years, after seeing multiple physicians for my endometriosis, including procedures and surgeries, had any of my physicians ever mentioned diet or lifestyle to me. If I had known in my late teens what I now know, I am sure my story would be different. The silver lining is that I am healing and getting better every day.  AIP has given me my life back; I feel better now than I have in the last two decades. My healing journey was just too good not to share and this is why I became an AIP coach. My goal is to help others further their healing by tracking macros, increasing exercise tolerance, staying accountable with their just right diet, living life, etc. I have found renewed purpose and I vow to help others, earlier in their journey/diagnosis, feel better and not have to struggle for years, like I did. I look forward to working with you and helping you heal.
