AIP CERTIFIED COACH DIRECTORY

Hello! My name is Debi Bryk and I am a Board Certified Holistic Nutritionist, Health Educator, and member of the National Association of Nutrition Professionals (NANP). I am also a Reiki Practitioner, wife, and mother of 4 wonderful children.

My passion for food as medicine began many years ago as I saw so many family members and friends suffering from various conditions that were not improving with conventional medicine as well as my own health declining. Through dietary and lifestyle changes, I have been blessed to not only heal myself, but help many others achieve their optimal health.

As a holistic practitioner I address the whole individual: diet, lifestyle, stress, environmental, toxicity, detoxification, spiritual, and emotional. I specialize in gut health and autoimmune disease and offer an individualized approach as we are all biologically different; therefore, there is no specific diet that is perfect for everyone. I also offer genetic testing which can be a helpful guide in determining the best diet and lifestyle based on your genetics in order to help prevent inflammation or disease and improve or maintain health.

I work with clients one on one either in person or remotely. I also offer nutrition classes and employee wellness programs. Please feel free to contact me for a complimentary phone consultation to discuss your concerns or learn more.

Hello ~ I’m Cathy, and I’d love to help guide you on your journey to great health. I’m a Certified Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (FNTP), AIP Certified Coach, Certified GAPS Practitioner, Certified Healing Foods Specialist (CHFS), Certified Food & Spirit Practitioner (CFSP), and I am Board Certified in Holistic Nutrition ®. I’m also a Licensed Massage Therapist, public lecturer, holistic-health practitioner mentor, and even an occasional author.

I live, play, work, garden, and relish creating delicious meals to share in Central Oregon as the owner and primary practitioner of Open Door Healing LLC, and I enjoy working with both local and distance-based clients through group programs and individual sessions. I have over 20 years clinical experience providing holistic nutrition counseling, therapeutic bodywork, exercise program development, and holistic lifestyle education to a wide range of clients, most if not all with some form of autoimmunity. I grew up all too familiar with the impacts of autoimmune disease watching multiple family members struggle with diabetes, and my passion for healthy living through real food blossomed into a career in functional nutrition after several years of bodywork led me to recognize diet as a root cause of inflammation. My nutritional therapy practice is an experienced blend of mind-body-spirit work developed over the course of many years of study and work with dozens of clients, and I love to tailor your nutritional therapy care to your own unique needs. As an educator and nutritionist, I hope to instill my love of learning about the human body in you and witness you fully embrace your own journey to optimal health.

Hi! I am a Certified Health Coach, AIP Certified Coach, Certified HeartMath Mentor, and Certified Laughter Yoga Leader. I specialize in coaching women dealing with chronic illness on dietary changes, stress management, and emotional wellness. I became interested in AIP in 2014 when I started experiencing subclinical autoimmunity. Since autoimmune diseases run in my family, I started using it as a preventative and I believe strongly in its effectiveness. I truly enjoy helping women identify and focus on the diet and lifestyle changes that are most likely to provide the greatest benefit and making these changes practical and sustainable. My approach is to support gradual progress from where you are now to where you would like to be. I look forward to supporting you on your journey!

Hi, I’m Keiko Arai. I’m a Certified Nutritional Practitioner(CNP) and an AIP Certified Coach. I am a founder of Keiko Wellness and a creator of The Paradigm Shift Formula, a 12-week step-by-step health restoring program for autoimmune fighters who wants to reclaim their worry-free life.

I struggled with multiple autoimmune diseases and was at the bottom of my life at one time. I get what you’re going through… I get that it sucks. I get that it’s hard. I get the sacrifice. I get it because I’ve been there.

That was me, when I was in severe pain and had swelling all over my body, breathing difficulties, extreme fatigue and muscle weakness. Even putting on socks became a challenging task. Whether at work or lying on the couch, I was exhausted and hopeless.
The symptoms were severe, but more than that, the feeling of helplessness that my life was no longer my own threatened me.

Luckily, I found a way to restore my health. But my DIY AIP journey was not a smooth road. I felt I was in the darkness without light. I was very confused and unsure if I was doing right. I craved to have a guide. So, it is my mission in life to support autoimmune fighters going through their AIP journey to reclaim their well-being.

Unfortunately, there is no magic pill to fix, but YOU are the MAGIC to make a (huge) positive change!
I am here to support you. Send me an email to book a free discovery call.

My name is Celine Barrica, a Licensed Acupuncturist, AIP Certified Coach, and Certified Massage Therapist.

I support my patients with a holistic approach by taking into account all aspects of their life and how it relates to their health journey. I help them feel empowered and be able to advocate for themselves and what they need. I came into healing work as a patient first, and along with my own autoimmune journey managing Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, Psoriasis, and Psoriatic Arthritis, I understand the difficulties with navigating the health system, and the emotional, mental, and physical struggles involved. My practice’s focus is primarily in autoimmune care, and am also a strong supporter for BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and other underserved communities.

An in-person session with me may include a combination of Chinese Medicine practices such as acupuncture, herbal formulas, cupping, moxa, in addition to a mix of manual manipulation techniques such as Cranial Sacral Therapy, or Visceral Mobilization. We first start out with a deep dive into health history and then tailor a customized approach to treatment specific to your needs. Online consultations specifically for autoimmune coaching are also available.

Hello! I have been driving over the road since 2006 and have traveled all of the lower 48 states.
While on the road I have seen the negative effects of choosing a diet of convenience food. I was encouraged by a mentor to study nutrition since I have so much listening time, I took to audiobooks very well and learned a wealth of health information! In order to share what I have learned with fellow drivers and family I enrolled in the NTA’s Nutritional Therapy Practitioner course and enjoyed both the education and the learning experience.

I have since continued studying while driving full time and enjoy sharing what I learn, I spend some time at healthytribe.com which is my mentor’s baby. I share the cooking, fermenting, culturing, preserving and foraging that I am able to do on the road, along with tips to making it work on the go.

As I continue to research and experiment, I am encouraged forward by the great success the tribe has shown just by changing the diet from conventional convenience foods more toward Whole Foods with a carnivore base, adding fermented foods to help our gut buddies.
We have seen drivers lower A1C’s, get back to 2 year medical cards, drop 100’s of pounds and with the help of their doctors, get off medications that are no longer necessary!

I don’t know what road I’ll end up on in the future, but I am ever optimistic about the trend toward eating whole real food and seeing the great changes it brings to everyone who embraces it!

Hello, I am Alexa Federico, Nutritional Therapy Practitioner certified through the Nutritional Therapy Association.

When it comes to dealing with health issues, especially autoimmune issues, there is often more than one factor causing symptoms. I consider each client as an individual including their condition, diet, and lifestyle in order to work together and create a plan. I really live by “food is medicine,” and I like to use food first and foremost as a form of medicine because it can have an incredible impact on health. Coupled with lifestyle changes (I.e. stress, sleep, healthy relationships, etc.) and supplements when needed and as agreed upon by the client, I help people resolve their symptoms in a safe way.

After being diagnosed with Crohn’s disease when I was 12 and following only western medicine protocols for one year and failing miserably, I found my sweet spot for health after incorporating changes to my diet, lifestyle, and supplements.

I specialize in digestion issues and autoimmunity. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

Hello! I’m Mary a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and Board Certified in Holistic Nutrition. Like you or someone you know, I’m on the autoimmune disease spectrum. I co-founded Evergreen Wellness Academy with another Functional Nutritionist who is also on the autoimmune spectrum, and our experiences are what have driven us to create Evergreen Wellness Academy for you. Our goal is to provide you with the care and support that we, like so many autoimmune warriors, never received but absolutely deserve.

The power of diet and lifestyle first caught my attention when I was informed by my doctor that I was running full speed toward pre-diabetes. Unfortunately, I did not get much guidance from my doctor and ended up having to figure out how to help myself.

In the process of learning how to balance my blood sugar, my thyroid antibodies started to come down. Symptoms related to my under-performing thyroid also began to diminish. The power of nutrient-dense food and supportive lifestyle techniques was undeniable. I knew I had to spread the word far and wide about my experience in the hopes that it would inspire others to consider doing the same for themselves.

The experience of having to educate and advocate for myself is what led me to focus on supporting women challenged by autoimmune disease. I don’t want anyone to experience the loneliness, frustration, and overwhelm that I and too many others have experienced. I’m here for you, let’s work together!
