AIP CERTIFIED COACH DIRECTORY

Hello! With over 20 years of experience being in the mental health field as a Licensed Psychologist in California, as well as dealing with my own autoimmune diseases, I have seen and experienced many who suffer mentally, emotionally, and physically. With my integrative approach to Health & Behavior Coaching, I have seen dramatic changes, not just physically, but overall mental health and wellbeing. I absolutely love helping people enjoy a fulfilling and healthy life with tools for behavior and lifestyle changes. I have a Doctor of Psychology (Psy. D.) and a Post-Doctoral Master of Science in Psychopharmacology (M.S.C.P.). I’m a Certified AIP Health Coach, a Certified Primal Health Coach and an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach. I also have a certificate in Nutritional Psychology. I have always been interested and intrigued by the mind-body connection, hence my love for learning about health and psychology. Due to my own battles with auto-immune disease, gut health is a huge factor in overall health and I particularly enjoy helping others with auto-immune diseases regain their joy and vitality for life. I look forward to standing side-by-side with you and helping you achieve love, health, and joy.

Hi there! My name is Marcella and I’m an Integrative Nutrition Certified Health Coach, AIP Certified Coach, and the founder of ProImmune Nutrition. As a coach I focus on helping those living with autoimmune conditions or chronic illnesses to look, feel, and achieve wellness through the development of personalized goals and the implementation of individualized sustainable dietary and lifestyle changes with support each step of the way. I personally struggled for years with navigating the complexities of finding an appropriate provider, seeking comprehensive testing, getting an accurate diagnosis, and then finding thorough treatment options that addressed all the facets of my autoimmune disease so I could heal and live a rich, full life again with my family. I have dedicated many years of my life to researching the causes of autoimmunity, how what we eat, quality of our sleep, types and amounts of movement we do impact our bodies ability to either heal or deteriorate.

As a former educator of almost 20 years I am truly passionate about educating others to discover their path to wellness and support them in implementing and internalizing the tools and strategies that resonate and motivate them to take action. In addition, I love to help locate community-based resources so people can eat well and feel well without having to look too far from home. I take a hands on approach to helping clients develop the skills necessary to be successful in rebuilding and maintaining their health for the duration of their lives. Sure everyone has bad days and good days, but learning compensatory skills and specific actions you can take when you don’t feel your best will help you cope when life gets rough or you have an autoimmune flare up in the years to come. Give me a call or shoot me an email when you’re ready to take the first step towards improving your health!

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 am Mollie Ressler and I have a great deal of compassion for people and their life stories. My road to becoming an AIP certified coach began with my own midlife panic attack that landed me in an ER while on vacation in gorgeous Banff, Canada and 11 months of thinking I was literally dying before being diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis and finding my way to AIP. I am a Physical Therapist and Functional Medicine Health Coach through the School of Applied Functional Medicine. My physical therapy practice is specialized around pelvic health and I treat Lichen Sclerosis, Vulvodynia, Endometriosis, PCOS, Interstitial Cystitis, IBS and Ulcerative Colitis. All of these autoimmune conditions can also present with debilitating musculoskeletal dysfunctions.

I am really thrilled and excited to add AIP certified to my tool kit because this protocol only helps strengthen the potential healing that this population of patients can experience. I was helping patients with conventional PT knowledge now I can knock it out of the park with the knowledge of AIP and healing foods!

Hi, I’m Petra, aromatherapist and author of ‘Autoimuni nutrivor- priručnik i kuharica za prehranu bez alergena’, book about elimination diets. My mission is to help you heal from inside out through food, botanicals and lifestyle changes. I was alone in my AIP journey seven years ago so I want to give you what I needed back than, support.

I’ve witnessed health transformations so profound, in both myself and clients, one would think they were magic. But as I’ve come to learn, the body heals with ease when worked with holistically.

I have been a Registered Dietitian practicing integrative nutrition for over 10 years. For the 22 years before that, I believed my own autoimmune condition was incurable. Being dependent upon medication and spending nights in the emergency room was the only reality I knew. It was tough, and fortunately, I was tougher. It’s been nearly a decade since I’ve depended on medication and when asked what got me here, my response is simple — I began eating better and breathing better.

Of course, there’s much more to it. Cue, the creation of Revived Roots — a science-based wellness company empowering you with holistic nutrition & lifestyle tools for a happy, healthy, fulfilling life. 🌿

The Revived Roots philosophy is built on the principles of integrative and functional nutrition with special emphasis on autoimmunity. We trust innate body wisdom, lean on technology for personalization, and look at symptoms as communication, not error. We treat you as an individual, see you as your full potential, and give you full responsibility for your health.

When I’m not in action with clients, you’ll find me traveling the wild lands and waters of our beautiful planet with my best canine side-kick, Shasta the dog.

Hi, my name is Natalie Monney and I’m a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner. I help people to transition from from a SAD diet to one that can heal their body and help them to live their healthiest life. I became interested in the Autoimmune Protocol after watching my father suffer with three different autoimmune diseases and in trying to heal my own body after being diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. I would love to help anyone interested in healing their body from the inside out.

As a functional medicine health coach, I work with you using the principles of functional medicine, to dive into how all aspects of your life come together to support your health and well being. I partner with you to help you make the changes that will help you feel your absolute best. If you are working with a healthcare provider, I work in collaboration to assist in navigating the protocols designed for you. The journey is yours but I am your co-pilot: together, we travel along the path of healing to the destination of whole body health and wellness.

My name is Rob Abbott and I am an integrative and functional medicine physician practicing in Charlottesville, Virginia as part of collaborative clinic Resilient Roots . In addition to my primary clinic in Charlottesville, I work virtually as part of another functional medicine clinic known as the Austin Center for Functional Medicine.

I completed my internship in family medicine at the Virginia Commonwealth University- Shenandoah Valley Family Medicine Residency Program in Front Royal, Virginia and am a graduate of the University of Virginia (U.Va.) School of Medicine.

I have completed training in functional medicine through the Kresser Institute and the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM). I am on the scientific advisory boards for both the Kresser Institute and the Ruscio Institute, leaders in functional medicine research and education. In addition, I am the medical advisor for the innovative collaborative, Autoimmune Wellness where I conduct research and write about integrative approaches to autoimmune disease.

In my clinical work, my team and I support patients with various autoimmune diseases to implement sustainable dietary and lifestyle changes including the autoimmune protocol (AIP) diet.

In my free time I enjoy trail running and creative expression through writing and communal conversation.
