Amelia Brown Occupational Therapist, OTD, OTR/L, Certified Functional Nutrition Coach
Nashville, Tennessee
USA
*Also Practices Virtually Worldwide
Hi, I’m Amelia, a full-time Occupational Therapist in Nashville, TN. With four years of clinical practice in acute care , I’ve treated patients with all kinds of conditions—heart disease, strokes, autoimmune disease, neurological disorders—you name it. Everyday, I see the suffering that comes with these conditions, and with one in two Americans having a chronic disease (and one in four having several), I continue to ask why. Yes, genetics and other non-modifiable factors play a significant part, but there’s also incontrovertible evidence pointing directly to modern lifestyle and diet. This realization, as well as my own experience navigating Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, has inspired me to complete additional training in order to become a health coach myself.
My mission is to empower others to make informed, thoughtful choices when it comes to their health in order to improve quality of life. I help clients with autoimmune disease address the necessary lifestyle changes to decrease internal inflammation. I provide education on meal planning, resources and recipes that aid in restoring gut health. I work with clients to identify food sensitivities and triggers while simultaneously incorporating nutrient-dense, healing foods. I also focus on strategies to:
-Manage stress and mindset
-Improve sleep quality and hygiene
-Promote regular and intentional exercise
-Reduce environmental toxin exposure
-Effectively communicate with medical practitioners
Whether you are impacted by chronic autoimmune disease or just want to live well, I would love to connect. Find me at ameliabrownwellness.com

My name is Natalia Muñoz Mora, I live in San José Costa Rica.

Xenia Brandstetter Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach
Frankfurt, Germany
*Practices Virtually Worldwide
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!
Cassandra Carpenter, FNTP Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner
Phoenix, Arizona

*Practices Virtually Worldwide
I rolled up my sleeves and took a deep dive into the world of nutrition, stress management, and lifestyle changes. Consider me the self-proclaimed detective of my own autoimmune disease!
Right in the middle of my own healing journey and in between juggling the roles of a devoted boymom, furmom, wife, and being a full-time pro, life threw a curveball. My oldest son was diagnosed with Celiac disease. The Autoimmune Paleo Diet proved pivotal in helping both he and I in regaining our health and wellness.
I’ve got a solid background in Biology and Chemistry (thanks to my B.Sc.), along with shiny certifications in Functional Nutritional Therapy, AIP Coaching, Mind Body Eating and Stretch Coaching. In other words, I’m a total nerd when it comes to the human body and how it functions.
My mission? To help you reimagine autoimmunity as a guiding light to optimal health and a life worth living!

*Practices Virtually Worldwide
Hello – I’m Cassiopeia, a Holistic Health Educator and Balance Expert who helps career professionals and entrepreneurs increase their energy, clarity, and productivity, so they can grow their business and finally live the life of their dreams.
I struggled with illness for much of my life, but when an autoimmune disorder halted the growth of my business and led to my thyroid gland being surgically removed, I set out on a journey to discover the root of what was making me sick and unlock the secrets to health and wellness.
This journey led to extensive research, valuable life lessons, and to finally gaining a renewed sense of hope for myself and the world around me.
I became highly passionate about unpacking modern diets, helping others to find their inherent cooking talents, and demonstrating how easy it is to create healthy, gourmet style meals for less than the cost of most fast food.
After working through my illness and learning to show up fully in my business, my mission became to teach others how they too can take back their health and finally live the life of their dreams.

Karine Kuczynski Naturopath & Ancestral Nutrition Consultant
Lyon, FRANCE
*Also Practices Virtually Worldwide
Hello, I am Karine, I am a Naturopath and Ancestral Nutrition Coach. My goal is to help people with auto-immune conditions and digestive disorders gain faith in their body’s healing capacity.
I was myself diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (and suffered from irritable bowel syndrome prior to that). This led me to begin my very own journey through the realms of natural health. I couldn’t stay passive, I needed to educate myself and try things out. I soon realized that simple diet and lifestyle changes can make a big difference.
I have a holistic, functional and psychosomatic approach, that is I try to look for the profound causes of a given condition, be it physical, psychological or emotional. One of my tools is what I call “ancestral nutrition”, I coach my clients to come back to an ancestral diet: real nutrient dense food that’s adapted to our genetic heritage.
Let’s get started on your journey to a healthier you!

Mimi Coker Certified Health Coach, AIP Certified Coach
Fayetteville, North Carolina
USA
*Practices Virtually Worldwide
Hi, I’m Mimi!
I am a Certified Health Coach, AIP Certified Coach and Certified Pilates Instructor. I know firsthand what it feels like to struggle with an autoimmune disease, as I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis in 2017. I spent years in and out of flares, with multiple hospital stays, seeing doctor after doctor, just trying to find someone who could help me. I always knew food and lifestyle could play a tremendous role in one’s health, however, it wasn’t until I found AIP that I understood how profoundly it could affect my autoimmune disease. This diet and lifestyle is something that has truly changed my life for the better, and I honestly don’t know where I’d be without it. After learning about and applying AIP in my own life, I knew I wanted to share this work with my clients. I view it as both a privilege and a responsibility, to help others experience the same benefits from this protocol that I have experienced in my own journey.
I currently work 1-on-1 with clients and offer custom programs that are tailored to each client’s individual needs.
Please feel free to reach out to me through through text or email for more information or to schedule your complimentary consultation. I know how hard it is to navigate the complexities of autoimmune disease on your own, and you deserve to have the support and guidance from someone who’s been through it.
