AIP CERTIFIED COACH DIRECTORY

Hi! I’m Len Schulze. I’m a holistic nutritionist, and it’s my passion to help others regain health and well-being naturally by balancing body, mind, and spirit. For optimal health, all three must be in balance.

I believe that each person is a bio-individual. This means we each have specific nutrient needs based on genetics, past and current health challenges, childhood and current food intake, stress level, age, pharmacological intake, and activity level. There is no one-size-fits-all health and wellness regime. Each of us has lived a unique life so each one of us has varying health and wellness needs.

To guide my clients back to balance, I focus on:
Functional testing (gut dysbiosis, food sensitivities, hormones, adrenal)
Nutritious food to balance blood sugar
Movement and joyful activities
Stress management
Positive thoughts and gratitude
Restful sleep
Internal energy cultivation – Qigong

Through my own healing journey, I discovered a wonderful practice called Qigong. This ancient practice is part of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It involves movement and visualizations that calm, cultivate, and rebalance your internal life-force energy. I incorporate this work with clients, as appropriate.

My practice primarily focuses on restoring optimal digestion and re-balancing gut dysbiosis, autoimmune conditions, and preparing for pregnancy (fertility preparation).

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.

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 Denise and I have been a registered nurse for 18 years. I am an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach and the founder of The Health & Wellness Code.

My focus is on individualizing a wellness program created to empower and support my clients. I offer two programs:

*3 month: You’ve been on your health journey but need extra guidance and support on improving or adjusting aspects of your lifestyle to reach your goals.

*6 month: You need support on determining what your goals are, creating an attainable action plan, accountability to reach your goals, and guidance on nourishing foods. This program is great for those who want to learn in depth information and implementation of the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP).

I received my Bachelors degree from Loyola University’s Niehoff School of Nursing and a Masters in Nursing from North Park University. In addition, I am a member of Sigma Theta Tau Honor Society of Nursing and the Institute for Functional Medicine.

Helping support busy moms thrive and get back to the life they love through personalized coaching. As a mom of two little ones, I struggled through an autoimmune diagnosis and I want you to have the resources and tools you need to be empowered in your health and wellness journey. My core belief is that everyone is unique and what will work for one person may not work for another. With that in mind, I dive deep and use my autoimmune paleo coaching skills to help discover your personal blueprint.

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.

Diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2016, I know first-hand what it’s like to live, and rise above, a chronic illness as well as debilitating migraines.

Within six months of my diagnosis, the lesions on my brain shrunk and went inactive and now 7 years later there has been no new activity.

Now I’m on a mission to help women, just like you, create their own health transformation. I support clients in creating a realistic and sustainable plan that delivers results so they can thrive in their body and in their life.

I am here to help you find ease and freedom in bringing joy in supporting your autoimmune disease.

Inspiring you to support your body, mind and spirit while empowering you to invest in your well-being and self-care.

As you journey through my coaching course together we will look at diet and lifestyle to:

Move from fatigue to increased energy. Promoting good circulation.
Move from joint pain to moving with greater ease and less pain.
Move from sleepless nights to improved sleep to get that full nights rest the body craves.
Move from negative self talk to uplifting your mindset with compassion, patience and healing.

It will be a pleasure to help you blossom and thrive.

I am proud to be a certified AIP coach and truly believe this protocol can help relieve symptoms in those with Autoimmune Disease and even those those without. I am a CSNN graduate with a Diploma in Natural Nutrition where I first learned about AIP. I tried it myself and many of my symptoms improved, I lost weight, and I felt better. I am a Stage 4 Chronic Kidney Disease patient and am hoping to keep my kidneys stable. I have a Masters Degree in Professional Communication and I currently teach dance-fitness classes.
