Are you prepared to dig deeper into your health issues? I mean really understand the nuts-and-bolts of YOUR health ‘knots’?

Are you okay with the idea of working on improving your current behavioral and lifestyle habits?

Do you wish to become the master of your own health? To finally be at home in your body?

If you’re ready to build an energetic, healthy future that will tilt your world on its axis, let’s connect!

Hi, I’m Shari. I’m a functional RD (living on the tiny island of Mauritius) for people who want results. And are ready to do the heavy-lifting. (Don’t worry; I keep it real – if you have a mortgage, I won’t ask you to quit your job and become a full-time knitter of tiny pirate scarves for hamsters.)

— What kind of RD am I —
I was trained as a conventional RD. Life events (read PCOS and juvenile arthritis + lots of autoimmune issues in the family) encouraged me to relearn everything. You see, implementing conventional nutrition guidelines was making me sicker. And they weren’t helping my patients.

Over the years, I have specialized in nutrition for PCOS and digestive health.

— What to expect if you work with me —
Coaching with me goes deep – we won’t just look at what you eat or how you sleep. We’ll also explore why you eat the way you do, what you’re really hungry for. We’ll get underneath the excuses to unleash the stuff that is really holding you back from becoming a healthier, happier version of yourself.

And yes, I’ll keep you accountable.

Because if you say you’re going to do something, I’ll totally check in to see if you did!

This way, with my 100% support, YOU will craft your very own health guidelines.

My name is Maida Ference and I’ve been a practicing Nutritional Therapy Practitioner since 2018. My passion is empowering you to connect to your body, to help you discover the food and lifestyle choices that are obstacles to your best quality of life. We’ll address root causes, rather than treating symptoms. You can expect encouraging, non-judgmental guidance with respect to your health concerns, priorities, personality, history, and life circumstances. Making changes to your diet and lifestyle can be challenging, but it is all the more frustrating when the options you have tried are impractically restrictive to follow long-term. My goal is not only to help you feel great, but to do so in a way that is pleasurable enough to become your new way of living.

Hi! My name is Darien McGuire and I’m a real-food based nutritionist and an AFAA certified fitness professional. Back in college, I suddenly developed lupus, hypothyroidism, adrenal issues and a leaky gut almost overnight and the result of a common (and “safe”) acne medication. I was basically bedridden for 6 months before I met with a Doctor that suggested we try an elimination type diet. Within just 3 months, I was on my path to recovery. I’ve since spent the past 20 years successfully managing these auto-immune conditions through a nutrient dense and anti-inflammatory diet along with complimentary lifestyle practices.

Because of my experience, I’ve continuously researched ways to improve my health and the health of others. I continue to see a growing body of evidence that shows our current health epidemics and rises in autoimmune disease are due to a combination of genetic predisposition, environmental toxins and food quality. The statistics on health epidemics and childhood illnesses are fairly depressing, and the answers to fixing these problems can feel super overwhelming. I’m here to tell you there are simple solutions for protecting your family and putting you and your children on the path (or back on the path) to a lifetime of good health. You don’t have to just accept and deal with your chronic health symptoms. My purpose is to give you the knowledge and tools you need to live a health-friendly lifestyle. I work with you one-on-one or through group challenges to identify potential culprits behind why you aren’t feeling 100%. We will work together (along with your other providers) to create a unique plan that will address any nutritional deficiencies, fertility challenges, behavior challenges, gut health, hormone health, etc.

My name is Dr. Ammie Chapman, and I am so happy you’re here! I am a mom, wife, and doctor of chiropractic. At my wholistic practice, I do so much more than just adjustments. I am concerned with my patients’ whole body health. I am passionate about using food as medicine and working with the body to treat illness.

I’m Tiffany Lundgren, busy working mom and certified health coach. I started Happy Healthy Life to show people how they can turn their health and life around, just like I did. I don’t preach, I don’t judge and I’m not some paragon of perfection. I’m here to inspire and guide you to make the healthy lifestyle transition, for you and your family. My mission is to make the process simple, do-able and fun! I figured it out so you don’t have to. After all, it’s only when your mind and body are in sync that you’ll truly appreciate what it is to feel your best and in LOVE with your life. You don’t have to figure this out on your own… Whether your kids are still in kindergarten or graduating from high school, whether you’re home alone or raising a family together with your partner, you deserve to experience what it is to have more energy, more strength, and more zest for life!

My name is Wioletta, I’m an RN (BSN), NASM-Certified Personal Trainer (CPT) with nutrition specialization, and certified AIP coach. After battling my own autoimmune disease (Hashimotos), I developed my passion for holistic healing with an emphasis on nutrition. I sought the help of doctors, only to find the same hopeless answer, wait for my thyroid to ‘burn out.’ At that point,I chose to pursue my own path to wellness. During this journey, we also gained a son who was born with several gut-health issues. We quickly found Western medicine ineffective so we decided to take a holistic approach.Through the collaboration with holistic practitioners, and elimination of foods/supplements, we were able to heal his gut. Over the years, my diagnosis has taught me to become more in tune with my body and to let it guide me in my path to recovery. I believe in not only a holistic approach to living, but also looking at the body as a whole in order to heal. Through my commitment to this approach focusing on nutrition, movement and mindfulness, I was able to do what others deemed impossible for someone with autoimmune disease. Successfully, I trained for 7 months to compete in my first bodybuilding competition, and placed at the top of my class. This experience further validated that the food you place in your body and the lifestyle you choose not only help you to attain wellness, but to go above and beyond your limitations. My personal successes have not only changed my life, but have also inspired a passion in me to want to help others be able to live life feeling their best. My goal is to work alongside you, motivate and educate you on how to adopt a healthy lifestyle, and heal your body. Together we will conquer your digestive struggles with personalized nutrition and accountability. I want you to see that a better life is possible. Through personalized lifestyle and nutrition planning, you too can have a healthier, happier, and well-balanced life.

Specializing in Autoimmune Diseases/Conditions, especially Lupus.

My passion to become a FMCHC and AIP Certified Coach began years ago. A religious hiker, unable to make it up the hill. I knew there was something terribly “not right” with me. Months later I had a diagnosis of Lupus (SLE). Making huge adjustments with my diet, switching to the AIP and necessary lifestyle changes. Determined not to be “ill”, I empowered myself, my Lupus activity is now considered mild. I continue to practice the Paleo approach, and am more confident and stronger knowing I did it myself.

Hello! My name is Teesa and I am a Functional Nutrition and Lifestyle Practitioner, Certified Functional Nutrition Counselor, and AIP Certified Coach.

Autoimmune disease is something I have been familiar with most of my life, as many members of my family live with various forms. When I too was diagnosed, with Hashimoto’s, unable to find relief elsewhere I turned to Functional Medicine. After changing aspects of my diet and lifestyle, using a similar program to AIP, I was able to relieve or eliminate most of my symptoms.

My passion for helping others with autoimmune disease started when my own children were diagnosed as well. I realized there was very little support for individuals or families managing AI disease, and navigating these diet and lifestyle changes. Oftentimes doctors don’t have time to explain why, how, or what we can do to improve our health. It is my hope to fill the ‘gap’ between doctor and patient.

Through my own personal experiences, and extensive training, I feel honored to guide and counsel others living with autoimmune disease and help them to live their best lives. At NW Nourishment, I believe each person is unique, and deserves an individualized approach to wellness.
