AIP CERTIFIED COACH DIRECTORY

Jennifer Werenskjold, LVN, LMT AIP Certified Coach

*Also Practices Virtually Worldwide
Hi! I am Jennifer and I have always enjoyed helping others. I’ve been a nurse for 26 years and a massage therapist for 21. While I was in nursing school I didn’t like the way the doctors treated patients and almost quit my childhood dream. Luckily I made friends with someone from Arizona and learned about Holistic medicine and realized that’s what I was looking for. I was in the Army so it would be awhile before I could truly follow my passion, but long story short I went to massage therapy school and that is where I realized I had a passion for nutrition as well. Skip forward 20 years where I met my current business partner in the autoimmune world and we decided to venture off together to start our own Holistic Family Practice with a specialty in Autoimmune Disease and Environmental Medicine. She taught me about AIP, but doesn’t love the nutrition side and I do so I became a certified coach. Now I get to work within my true purpose of helping others live a much better life with diet and lifestyle.

Hello! My name is Kylene and I’m a personal trainer and Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner. I’m a foodie, stepmom and wife and I love to be as active as possible! It’s my job to work with my clients to help you discover the underlying cause of your chronic health conditions. No more bandaids on the symptoms here! Depending on your needs, we can work with functional lab testing to really determine how your body is working, why you may be experiencing symptoms and what we can do about it together. My personal approach is Remove. Repair. Restore. We will remove the stressors we find, repair the damage caused, and restore your body to functioning the way it was designed to function! I am a gut health nerd and believe most of our chronic health conditions can be greatly supported when we find out what’s going on in our gut microbiome. Since we know that those with an autoimmune condition must also have leaky gut in order to activate the disease, it’s the perfect fit! Together we will discover if there are any underlying causes that may be hindering your healing, remove them and create the individual #YOUtrition and lifestyle that allows you to manage your life in the happiest and healthiest way. I offer several services from 1:1 coaching through the AIP diet, to functional lab testing, to online programs so you can find what fit is exactly right for your life at this time. I can’t wait to work with you!

Stephanie Papadakis Holistic Nutrition Consultant
San Francisco Bay Area, California
USA
*Practices Virtually Worldwide
I’m Stephanie, a Certified Holistic Nutrition Consultant, Grief Recovery Specialist, and Sacred Depths Transformational Practitioner in the San Francisco Bay Area. I work with clients virtually to help address health imbalances caused by autoimmune diseases, hormonal issues, poor digestive health, stress, and grief.
Although I don’t have an autoimmune disease, the three most important women in my life all have autoimmune thyroid diseases. Upon my mother’s diagnosis of Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis in 2014, I scoured the research on how to naturally treat autoimmune diseases. This experienced helped me realize that I want to be helping people feel like their best selves through nutritional guidance, as well as be an active participant in reversing chronic disease, which led me to getting certified from Bauman College.
I’ve also dealt with my own digestive (SIBO/IBS) and hormonal issues (endometriosis) for years. I know how horrible it feels to eat most foods and always end up gassy and bloated. I know what it’s like to be in the bathroom for hours out of the day. I know what it’s like to feel like someone is ripping out your insides once a month for seven days. I deeply understand the frustration of dealing with doctors and never getting an answer. I came into this field for many reasons, including trying to understand how to address my own healing, but most of all, to help you gain the knowledge you need to find your path to optimal health. I look forward to working with you!

Kelsey Huckle, MNT Master Nutrition Therapist

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.

Stacy Smith, NTP Functional Wellness Advisor
Hi – I’m Stacy and I’m here to guide you along the path to your best health. I’m a Certified Nutritional Therapy Consultant (NTC) through the Nutritional Therapy Association, AIP Certified Coach, and Functional Wellness Advisor. After being diagnosed with lupus and anti-phospholipid antibody syndrome in 2015, I was told repeatedly that dietary changes were irrelevant in the management of autoimmunity. My own experience couldn’t be more different, and led me to become a relentless proponent for the healing power of food. AIP has been instrumental in managing my own health, and I’ve been fortunate to see so many other autoimmune warriors have powerful and positive experiences of their own. Through my private practice, Viridis Wellness, LLC, I put my passion into action helping clients achieve their wellness goals through education, empowerment, accountability and positive, long-term, lifestyle changes. I specialize in wellness recovery with autoimmunity, connecting with nature, improving gut health, blood sugar regulation, holistic sports performance, autoimmune athletes and corporate wellness. My view is that wellness comes from addressing the whole person. I enjoy working virtually with long-distance clients as well as in-person with local clients, and offer a variety of group education programs. If you’re ready to take the first step towards your highest wellness and need a partner on your journey, let’s talk about where you want to go. Complimentary 15-minute discovery calls are available by request.

I am an Institute for Integrative Nutrition Certified Health Coach and a Certified Autoimmune Protocol Coach who is unbelievably passionate about health and wellness.
My personal health journey is what led me to the exciting field of health coaching. For years I suffered the effects of ovarian cysts, endometriosis, migraines, Hoshimoto’s thyroiditis, hypothyroidism, Epstein Barr virus, Lyme disease, adrenal fatigue and depression. When traditional methods of treatment only alleviated some of my symptoms, I began searching for answers to the causes of my health condition and am grateful for the transformation it has made and continues to make in my health journey. I understand the struggles that come with an autoimmune diagnosis and how AIP can be a game changer! Having personally benefited from Autoimmune Protocol in addition to other lifestyle changes, I am excited to combine my knowledge and skills to help others embrace this approach that allows you to enjoy, experiment and experience the boundaries of wellness while living with an autoimmune disease.

Lisa Ciola Nutritional Therapy Practitioner
Burke, Virginia
USA
Hello, my name is Lisa Ciola.
I am a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, a Certified Autoimmune Coach, and a retired RN.
My husband is retired Air Force and we have 6 children, ages 25-13. Homeschooling has been our way of life for 20 years.
My passion is to teach that nutrient dense foods can heal our bodies and simply help us live our most fruitful and abundant life. It’s taken about 5 years to transition my family to eating really clean…teenagers are hard to convince. 🙂
I’ve had 3 children become collegiate athletes, and 3 more boys who are high school athletes. Feeding them properly to help them prevent injury, increase endurance, and recover quicker has been our focus for the past 5 years.
Our Good Lord has been the center of my practice in that all teaching, healing and love come from Him.
