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!

Hello! I’m Judit!

For many years I struggled with rheumatoid arthritis and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. Then the trajectory of my life changed dramatically when I implemented lifestyle and dietary changes. The arthritis is completely gone, and I can manage my thyroid function very well without symptoms.

I am a Health & Life Coach, and an AIP Certified Coach, as well as a certified teacher in many styles of yoga and Pilates.

I am passionate and enthusiastic about sharing the knowledge I’ve gained through my own healing experience. I help women who are ready to take charge of their lives to minimize or even eliminate the symptoms of their autoimmune disease.

I will provide concrete strategies and resources to incorporate into your daily life that work best to help you eliminate fatigue, lack of focus, mood swings, anxiety, bowel problems, muscle soreness, migraine headaches, joint pains, skin problems, insomnia, weight gain and more.

Your 90-day personalized healing protocol includes:

o implementing a simple elimination diet that removes inflammatory foods
o introducing healing superfoods in a slow or more dynamic way
o helping you understand the science behind these steps
o adopting lifestyle modifications: sleep, stress management, movement, relationships
o guidance for shopping, cooking, weekly meal planning
o providing you with a gentle yoga program designed specifically for those with autoimmune disease
o helping you to attain a stronger, more confident mindset
o helping you to overcome obstacles and manage your disease
o providing you with different tools and materials

I will be your supportive mentor to help you reach your wellness goals and find the foods and lifestyle practices that work best for you.

The first step is to reach out to me for a 15-minute free consultation to see how I can help you on your journey.

I am a Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach as well as an Autoimmune Paleo Certified Coach who is honored to share my passion about health and wellness.  My personal health journey is what led me to the empowering field of health coaching. For years I suffered the effects of ovarian cysts, endometriosis, migraines, Hashimoto’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 root causes of my health conditions and am grateful for the transformation those changes have made and continue 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 the 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 achieve a level of balance while living with an autoimmune disease.

Hi! I’m Regina Breckner, a Health Coach and Certified AIP Coach. I developed a passion for addressing autoimmunity with diet and lifestyle habits when my daughter was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s as a child. Having had great success with her health, I knew I wanted to help others in the same way.

I now work 1-on-1 with clients to help them address their health concerns and improve their quality of life. I strive to instill in them the same passion for health & wellness that I now have – it’s life changing!

Hi! I am a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner helping women with RA live a better quality of life. My personal struggle with Rheumatoid Arthritis led me to AIP a few years ago and the benefits I gained from AIP motivated me to change my profession! I quit my job working as a researcher and decided to study nutritional therapy because I wanted to help other folks suffering from RA. Being an avid foodie and an experienced cook myself, I am able to provide a lot of delicious and healthy food options to my clients. I can also additionally provide cooking lessons where needed. Being of Indian origin, I have had great success working with clients of similar background as well as with vegetarian clients. I meet people where they are at and help them slowly transition towards their healthy place. I manage my RA with a combination of medications, diet and lifestyle changes and I really believe in a holistic approach towards healing. I have come a long way from being close to bed-ridden to now being able to pursue all my hobbies which include dancing and hiking! And that is the reason I am passionate about helping others to overcome their illnesses and achieve their dreams! I am the author of an AIP cookbook called as ‘AIP Indian Fusion’, which is a collection of 114 AIP recipes inspired by Indian cuisine! You can get more information about me at my website www.cook2nourish.com. If you would like to talk more regarding nutritional therapy and how it could benefit you, send me an email at [email protected].

Hello! My name is Nellie Savage. I’m a degree-trained Clinical Nutritionist using a highly personalised nutritional medicine approach – I look for the “why” of what’s happening for you and together we work to find an approach that meets your needs.

The AIP protocol is profoundly healing. I came across it when looking for solutions for my Mum, who has Hashimoto’s (autoimmune thyroid disease) and was struggling with fatigue, weight, and sky-high antibodies, despite being medicated for many years. Within a very short time of implementing AIP, her antibodies normalised and she felt (and looked!) like a different person, and dropped 10kg in the process. We were then able to personalise it and identify the foods that were causing her the most problem.

I also have lived experience of using AIP for mental health, and was able to avoid the progression of early Hashimoto’s. My clients have also found it profoundly healing for stubborn weight issues, inflammatory, insulin resistant and pre-diabetic conditions.

AIP is best implemented as part of a wholistic and well-monitored approach to your health. I believe the best outcomes are achieved when we work as a team, blending your knowledge and experience of your health concerns (nobody knows it better!) with my clinical experience and understanding. 

And lashings of self-compassion, kindness and support! 😊

Give me a call, and let’s talk about where things are at for you right now. 

Hi there,

I’m Nicole Calamia, founder of Phoenix Nutritional Therapy. I’m also a certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, a certified Autoimmune Protocol Coach, and a licensed RESTART instructor.

Nutrition and fitness were always a deep interest of mine; however, in my mid-30s, I began to experience unbearable daily symptoms: nausea, dizziness, inflammation, a constant dry cough, a recurring rash on my neck and chest, fatigue, and joint pain so debilitating that I couldn’t sleep at night or drive with the air conditioner on in my car. In 2014, I even passed out and ended up with a concussion. I woke up every morning dreading the idea of going to work – and the idea of maintaining a social life? Forget it.

I visited countless specialists and invested countless dollars into trying to reclaim my health. All my lab tests looked good and all my exams came back benign and unrevealing; not one doctor could identify a possible root cause for my symptoms regardless of their efforts. I felt like no one understood me. I felt scared, alone, and defeated, but mostly I felt angry.

It wasn’t until I discovered nutritional therapy that I began to heal. Now, through Phoenix Nutritional Therapy, I empower women from all over the United States who struggle with fatigue, digestive distress, chronic pain, and/or an autoimmune diagnosis to finally understand what’s going on with their body so they can take charge of their health and lead full, vibrant lives.

There’s a happier, healthier version of yourself waiting for you on the other side. Don’t let another day get away. Let’s do this…together.

Howdy, y’all! I’m Laurie from the great state of Texas! Personalized nutrition and lifestyle changes made the biggest difference on my health journey which inspired me to become a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and AIP Certified Coach and help others, either in person or remotely.

At 37 years old after experiencing chronic hives over 80% of my body for 8 months straight and consulting with 7-10 different doctors, I was finally diagnosed with Hashimoto’s, estrogen dominance and adrenal fatigue. Six months later, I elected for surgical menopause, sought out holistic alternatives and began treatment with Armour Thyroid and bio-identical hormone therapy, slowly bringing my body back into balance.

About four years later by process of elimination, I discovered that gluten was causing a health relapse that included chronic migraine headaches. Going gluten-free allowed me to put my Hashimoto’s into remission until the fall of 2019, when my hives returned. Once again, all the usual lab tests came back “normal”, and I was left to research solutions and find the root cause of my symptoms on my own.

This experience left me with a deep-felt desire to help women suffering from symptoms resulting from autoimmune diagnoses to be educated and informed so that they can feel empowered and in control of their prognosis to become their own health advocate. I provide them with a greater understanding of how to plan and prepare meals and activities that build up their bodies, to have reduced symptoms, more energy and long-lasting health to do what they enjoy most in life.

I am looking forward to showing you how to feel healthy for a change!
