AIP CERTIFIED COACH DIRECTORY

The journey to vibrant health starts with your decision to take control of your health by making it your priority. It is achievable by providing clarity and support, faith in the process, consistency, and lots of love and tenderness for yourself.

This is a lifelong journey so the goal is to enjoy it and set yourself up for success by :

-falling in love with the idea of discovering and regaining your power and living your true self, so that every step becomes a victory.

-adopting your unique formula that nourishes your body, mind, and soul.

-finding and creating support within and around you as a solid foundation for your journey.

I have learned and adopted this holistic approach after 5 years of searching for solutions to many autoimmune issues in my family and the AIP Protocol is its basis.

Being an analytical and open-minded person with a pharmaceutical degree, I couldn’t accept the option that the root cause of those issues is unknown and that there is a one-size-fits-all approach.

Realizing how much benefit this experience brought to my family, I became passionate about spreading it further as a health and lifestyle coach.

My name is Jelena and I’m here to help you to develop a mindful approach to your body by following its rhythm and needs with understanding so that you can make healthy choices that support your body, mind, and soul.

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.

Hello, My name is Janice Strand. I have over 35 years in Nutrition.
– B.S. In Nutrition
– Nutritional Therapist Practitioner
– Gut and Psychology Syndrome Practitioner
-Certified Hypnotherapist

Being a mom, the worst thing is to see your child sick and suffer. My son has Celiac disease and years ago he was very sick. Doctors at that time could not help him. The desire for him to feel good lead me back to school. I earned my certification as a Nutritional Therapist, Gut and Psychology Syndrome Therapist, & Hypnotherapist. Today my son is a healthy grown man.

I treat every client as I did my son, I don’t give up!

Helping others with Autoimmune disease is my passion. I realize this can be a confusing time and often there is very little support for individuals or families managing diet & lifestyle. Oftentimes doctors don’t have time to explain why, how, or what we can do to improve our health. This is where I can step in. It is my hope for everyone to live a happy healthy life!

Hi! I’m a pharmacist practicing in Brooklyn, NY and I’m very passionate about improving the quality of my clients’ health through nutrition and healthy lifestyle choices. I began on this health and wellness journey over ten years ago to help me work through my own healing and after transforming my life with changes in my diet and lifestyle, there was no turning back. I look forward to helping you gain control of your health and guide you on the path to wellness.

Hello,
I am Shelly Cobb, owner of Thrive Well. Years ago, over several years my husband, our 6 kids and I were all diagnosed with Celiac Disease, some with Hashimoto’s. We regained our health back through holistic nutrition and lifestyle changes.

Years later I was encouraged to become a nutritionist and personal trainer to work for one of the doctors who helped me get our health back. I went back to college and got my second master’s degree, this time in Holistic Nutrition. I have pursued various specialty certifications that center around autoimmune disease, health, wellness and exercise. I sat for 2700 hours of nutrition counseling to become a HNCB Board Certified Holistic Nutrition Professional. Later I became ANMA Board Certified Holistic Health Practitioner. I am currently working on Doctorate of Health Science in Clinical Nutrition and Education. at University of Bridgeport. As a former high school teacher, I enjoy learning and pursue the latest information on health and wellness so I can best serve my clients. I personally and professionally have seen how the benefits of holistic nutrition and lifestyle can fully change a person for the better.

I enjoy working with others one on one, helping them achieve their goals – especially in regards to health and wellness. I understand both personally and professionally the daily challenges autoimmune disease can bring. I am here to offer help support, education and motivation to those who want to improve their health and well being. I offer my services in person, on the phone or over Skype. I teach various classes and also offer cooking demonstrations to help those with cooking challenges learn how fun, easy and tasty holistic cooking can be.

My approach is client-centered and client focused. I work together in a collaborative fashion to help the client reach their goals. I am not licensed by the State of California, therefore I do not treat or diagnose disease. I offer fun, educational and motivational help through the use of nutrition, exercise and holistic modalities. It would be my pleasure to work with you.

Hello! My name is Rhonda Gibler. I am a registered dental hygienist, Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, and AIP Certified Coach. In the 15 years I have practiced dental hygiene, I have worked with many patients with autoimmune disease like Lichen Planus and Sjogrens. In June of 2020 I was diagnose with an inflammatory scalp condition called Lichen Planopilaris. This propelled me forward to dig even deeper into the diet and lifestyle aspect. Recently I finished the AIP Certified Coach course. I am honored to serve those with AI skin conditions. I believe there needs to be a blend of conventional treatments along with diet and lifestyle modifications to fully support the immune system to perform at it’s best.

Hi there. As a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, I see clients with a wide range of wellness goals.

I was diagnosed with Graves Disease in 2009 and used the Autoimmune Paleo (AIP) protocol to first put the disease in remission and now to manage symptoms. This personal experience inspires my daily work.

Digging deeper into healing through nutrition as an AIP Certified Coach allows me to be your guide as you seek relief of the nagging symptoms of an autoimmune condition. As a valuable member of your wellness team, my goal is to personalize your AIP experience and help you meet your wellness goals.

Hi, I am Wendy Presant, a Registered Health and Nutrition Counselor with a background in functional medicine, naturopathic medicine and nursing. I am also a family caregiver. When I was first diagnosed with Sjögren’s Syndrome, I found it a real challenge to find the time and space to look after both myself and my parents. After figuring out some tips and tricks to incorporating the AIP into my busy life, my health has improved greatly. If you are in a similar way with an autoimmune conditions and family obligations that seem to eat up all your time and leave no room for you to heal, I would love to help you out! I offer a free 15 minute phone call to see if we are a good fit. I offer one-to-one and group coaching.

My name is Patricia Shelton, and I am a Naturopathic Nutritional Therapist and Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner based in Zurich, Switzerland. I work with clients one-on-one to understand each person’s unique nutritional needs and make diet and lifestyle recommendations tailored to the individual.

I believe that what works for one person may not work for another and that a combination of your genes, family traditions and values, and life experiences, gives your body a different set of requirements to function optimally than that of anyone else. The focus in my nutritional therapy practice is to restore balance where years of imbalance have led to noticeable symptoms.

I specialize in supporting individuals with autoimmune diseases, hormone imbalances, food intolerances/allergies, and cognitive decline, and have specific interest in sports nutrition and in weight management and body composition optimization.

I am American, studied at the College of Naturopathic Medicine in London, and currently practice in Zurich.  I am a registered nutritional therapist (DipNT), certified functional medicine practitioner (IFMCP), registered with BANT (mBANT) and the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM) and have certifications as an Autoimmune Paleo Coach, SIBO practitioner, and Center for Integrative Sports Nutrition (CISN) as well as ReCode practitioner training in reversal of cognitive decline in line with the Dale Bredesen protocol and Apollo Health.

Please contact me at Patricia@StrengthInNutrients.com or visit my website www.StrengthInNutrients.com for more information. It would be my pleasure to work with you and help you move towards the level of health you desire. I look forward to hearing from you.
