My name is Kelly, and I am a Registered Holistic Nutritionist™, AIP Certified Coach, and the founder of gingercures.

In life, we all get confronted with major events that disrupt us. These events upset our lives, our bodies, our balance, and we often struggle to try and regain some control.

One of these life events that can make us feel a loss of control is when we are given a “diagnosis”. We generally follow Doctor instructions, feeling nervous and sometimes powerless. We get told what to do as they treat the focus – but what about the rest of our body? And what about our emotional well-being?

My own health journey demonstrated to me that paying attention to nutrition should not be limited to after significant events or diagnoses – but that nutrition can and should be leveraged proactively. By making healthy choices every day, we can live a healthy lifestyle and hopefully prevent, or at least delay, many unnecessary health complications.

I have seen first hand the results of making these healthy choices, and I now want to use my education in this field to make a difference in the world.

I founded gingercures so that I could be a resource for people who want to make better choices, and who might not always be sure of where to start. We all know that there is no magic pill to replace a healthy lifestyle; it is an ever-evolving journey, and I hope to be a part of yours.

Hi, I’m Stephanie Ulrich, a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and AIP Coach. I specialize in supporting clients living with autoimmune disease, food allergies/sensitivities, and a wide-range of digestive disorders including IBS and SIBO. I am passionate about empowering my clients to discover personalized ways to live well with chronic illness, focusing on a balanced and sustainable approach.

In 2019, I started my own healing with AIP after being diagnosed with EoE, Hashimoto’s, and UCTD. My experiences of living with multiple chronic illnesses and extensive food allergies encouraged me to start my blog, The Open Cookbook, as a space to share allergy-friendly AIP recipes and to reflect on my own experiences of living with chronic illness. I want to ensure no matter the dietary restriction, everyone feels included and can find joy in the kitchen again.

As an NTP, I believe in taking a gentle and balanced approach with individualized recommendations, resources, and tools. I like to remind clients that AIP is a “template” and that together, we can discover how to tailor it specifically for you. I always explain the “why” behind diet and lifestyle suggestions, encouraging and supporting you to find sustainable ways to live vibrantly with autoimmunity.

Hi! I am Jennifer and I have always enjoyed helping others. I’ve been a nurse for 26 years and a massage therapist for 21. While I was in nursing school I didn’t like the way the doctors treated patients and almost quit my childhood dream. Luckily I made friends with someone from Arizona and learned about Holistic medicine and realized that’s what I was looking for. I was in the Army so it would be awhile before I could truly follow my passion, but long story short I went to massage therapy school and that is where I realized I had a passion for nutrition as well. Skip forward 20 years where I met my current business partner in the autoimmune world and we decided to venture off together to start our own Holistic Family Practice with a specialty in Autoimmune Disease and Environmental Medicine. She taught me about AIP, but doesn’t love the nutrition side and I do so I became a certified coach. Now I get to work within my true purpose of helping others live a much better life with diet and lifestyle.

Hi! I am a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner helping women with RA live a better quality of life. My personal struggle with Rheumatoid Arthritis led me to AIP a few years ago and the benefits I gained from AIP motivated me to change my profession! I quit my job working as a researcher and decided to study nutritional therapy because I wanted to help other folks suffering from RA. Being an avid foodie and an experienced cook myself, I am able to provide a lot of delicious and healthy food options to my clients. I can also additionally provide cooking lessons where needed. Being of Indian origin, I have had great success working with clients of similar background as well as with vegetarian clients. I meet people where they are at and help them slowly transition towards their healthy place. I manage my RA with a combination of medications, diet and lifestyle changes and I really believe in a holistic approach towards healing. I have come a long way from being close to bed-ridden to now being able to pursue all my hobbies which include dancing and hiking! And that is the reason I am passionate about helping others to overcome their illnesses and achieve their dreams! I am the author of an AIP cookbook called as ‘AIP Indian Fusion’, which is a collection of 114 AIP recipes inspired by Indian cuisine! You can get more information about me at my website www.cook2nourish.com. If you would like to talk more regarding nutritional therapy and how it could benefit you, send me an email at [email protected].

Hello, I’m Sarah.

I offer a holistic approach to autoimmune recovery. I offer a unique combination of knowledge, which can help you with the emotional and mental effects of autoimmune disease, and guide you to understand – and put into practice – practical ways to positively influence your own health.

As a Cognitive Hypnotherapist and an AIP Certified Coach, I offer a toolkit of effective techniques to help improve your sleep, reduce your stress, change your perception of pain, and make habit, diet and lifestyle changes more easily – all crucial for recovering your wellness.

Having space to attend to the emotional aspects of being unwell is a key part of being able to move towards recovery, and to have the energy to make changes. Cognitive hypnotherapy is an effective evidence-based approach and combines really well with the practical approach of AIP.

This combination empowers you to make informed choices and be able to put them into practice more easily.

I can help you to:

• Understand what triggers your condition, and help you deal with these triggers so your body can start to heal and you can feel better
• Increase your energy and feel healthier so you feel more able to enjoy life without being exhausted or causing a flare
• Resolve difficult feelings about your situation, so you can feel more positive and more like ‘you’

I’ve recovered from autoimmune disease and understand the frustration, isolation and anxiety you may be feeling. I get how exhausting it is and how totally fed up of the whole situation you may feel.

Cognitive hypnotherapy and AIP changes to my diet and lifestyle helped me recover.

Using AIP we can figure out which factors provoke your own autoimmune condition, and what you can do about these so you can begin to recover and live well.

We can address emotional challenges and stressful experiences that may be linked to your illness, as well as improving sleep, stress management, diet, habit and lifestyle changes, pain reduction, and positively focusing on healing.

My holistic approach addresses your health as a whole, including body, mind and lifestyle, so you can move towards physical and emotional health and wellness.

Hello! My name is Nellie Savage. I’m a degree-trained Clinical Nutritionist using a highly personalised nutritional medicine approach – I look for the “why” of what’s happening for you and together we work to find an approach that meets your needs.

The AIP protocol is profoundly healing. I came across it when looking for solutions for my Mum, who has Hashimoto’s (autoimmune thyroid disease) and was struggling with fatigue, weight, and sky-high antibodies, despite being medicated for many years. Within a very short time of implementing AIP, her antibodies normalised and she felt (and looked!) like a different person, and dropped 10kg in the process. We were then able to personalise it and identify the foods that were causing her the most problem.

I also have lived experience of using AIP for mental health, and was able to avoid the progression of early Hashimoto’s. My clients have also found it profoundly healing for stubborn weight issues, inflammatory, insulin resistant and pre-diabetic conditions.

AIP is best implemented as part of a wholistic and well-monitored approach to your health. I believe the best outcomes are achieved when we work as a team, blending your knowledge and experience of your health concerns (nobody knows it better!) with my clinical experience and understanding. 

And lashings of self-compassion, kindness and support! 😊

Give me a call, and let’s talk about where things are at for you right now.
