AIP CERTIFIED COACH DIRECTORY

Hello! I’m Sarah. After several years of struggling with fibromyalgia, food allergies and more, I first studied Holistic Nutrition at Bauman College in Berkley, CA. I have since received further education and certification from American Fitness Professionals & Associates (AFPA). My current work is as a Certified Holistic Nutritionist and clean beauty Consultant, centering holistic lifestyle changes and connection through food and community. I am passionate about building equity in the food and beauty industries and making both accessible to everyone. I practice privately, host online workshops, and provide education through classes with The Holistic Cultural Education and Wellness Center in Fresno, CA. I am also the full-time advocate and caregiver for my grandpa, who has late-stage Alzheimer’s disease and Stage 1 prostate cancer. This labor of love inspires my work and has opened me up to the practice of radical self-care as a family caregiver living with autoimmunity.

My own wellness journey led me to understand that we truly must care for our Selves FIRST in order to be present for others. This allows me to serve my clients with the highest level of understanding and empathy.

More about me… I am a gardener, a storyteller, a healer, a crystal worshipper, a kitchen witch, a rich auntie, a friend, a provider, a lover, an activist, a bully-breed mama and an ever-evolving human.

My name is Emily and I am a Nutrition Therapist Master and Board Certified in Holistic Nutrition, and my passion is to help women learn how to nourish their bodies, heal themselves, and build a strong foundation of health so they can get back to living their best lives. I specialize in women’s health, digestion, and autoimmune conditions. I use functional lab testing to get to the root cause of your health issues, so that you can stop surviving and truly thrive!

Like many in the health & wellness field, I came to nutrition because of my own health issues, namely Raynaud syndrome, hypothyroidism, digestive dysfunction, carpel tunnel, and restless leg syndrome. I became passionate about helping others get to the root cause of their health issues and addressing imbalances in the body.

I focus on each individual client, creating custom meal plans, incorporating simple lifestyle changes, and integrating nutrition & supplement strategies to optimize healing & vibrant health.

Sarah is a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner with a B.S. in Nutrition and Dietetics who is passionate about supporting the autoimmune community through proper digestive health. Diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis in 2014, Sarah has personally experienced the transforming power of a nutrient dense, whole foods diet. Sarah understands all too well the complex issues within the autoimmune community, such as additional diagnoses, debilitating symptoms, medication side effects, and a need for community. When working with clients, Sarah puts a strong emphasis on education so that clients feel empowered to be their own health advocates. Sarah respects each persons bio-individuality and tailors all recommendations around your individual health history. There is absolutely no one size fits all approach at The Nourished Gut! When not working with clients, Sarah enjoys spending time with her parents, taking long walks outside, reading a good book, bingeing a good show, and playing with her doggy nephew, Cooper.

Hello! My name is Rhonda Gibler. I am a registered dental hygienist, Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, and AIP Certified Coach. In the 15 years I have practiced dental hygiene, I have worked with many patients with autoimmune disease like Lichen Planus and Sjogrens. In June of 2020 I was diagnose with an inflammatory scalp condition called Lichen Planopilaris. This propelled me forward to dig even deeper into the diet and lifestyle aspect. Recently I finished the AIP Certified Coach course. I am honored to serve those with AI skin conditions. I believe there needs to be a blend of conventional treatments along with diet and lifestyle modifications to fully support the immune system to perform at it’s best.

Hello, my name is Kelly Michele Shattuck. I have worked in the natural food industry for over 30 years. My mother started Harmony Farms, an independent locally owned health food store in 1984. I began a career there in my teens.

After being diagnosed with Addison’s Disease in September of 2006, and spending a week in the hospital, I decided I wanted to delve even deeper into studies pertaining to natural remedies and health.

I committed myself to pursue a fuller understanding of herbalism, became a Certified Herbalist thru Rosemary Gladstar’s “The Science and Art of Herbalism” and received my certificate in 2011.

I recently completed studies to become an Autoimmune Paleo Certified Coach. I look forward to guiding and supporting you on your wellness journey. Let’s discuss healing your body and calming your mind.

Hello, my name is Shannon, a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and Autoimmune Paleo Certified Coach.

I spent the first 20 years of my career as a pharmacist where I discovered, first hand, just how little focus nutrition and lifestyle receives in most medical offices. As a self-professed nutrition nerd, I knew that so many of my pharmacy clients could benefit from guidance in this area.

Following a move from Canada to the US, I followed my passion and became a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, Board Certified in Holistic Nutrition. It was also around this time that I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, something I had suspected for years, but struggled to receive a diagnosis. And even with a diagnosis, no guidance was given as to what I could do to help manage my autoimmune disease and prevent its progression.

I knew then that helping others become the key player in the management of their health concerns was what I wanted to do.

Evergreen Wellness Academy was founded by two Functional Nutritionists on the autoimmune spectrum. Our experiences in our own health journeys drive our goal of providing you with the education, care and support that we, like so many autoimmune warriors, never received but absolutely deserve.

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.

Megan is The Realistic Holistic, a holistic nutritionist focused on helping women with autoimmune disorders find fertility in a way that is realistic AND holistic!

Megan became a holistic practitioner to help people like herself who stuggle with autoimmunity. Megan has battled both Celiac Disease and Hashimoto’s for many years. There was a time when she found herself severely underweight, depressed and struggling with amenorrhea. As someone who always wanted to be a Mother, she felt defeated by her conditions and had nearly come to terms with the concept that her hormones were just too far gone and that she would never be able to conceive.

The AIP diet was a saving grace for Megan. It was the only approach that finally put her digestion back on track, helped her gain the weight back, balance hormones, bring her antibodies down and finally find fertility so she could start the family she has always wanted!

Now, Megan has become an expert at helping to customize the AIP to you and your lifestyle in order to not only help you heal but also set you up so that you are able to support a healthy pregnancy!
