A Restorative Wellness Journey: getting to the root of your health challenges.
As a Registered Nurse (RN), Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP), and Restorative Wellness Practitioner (RWP), I've witnessed countless patients struggle within the limitations of traditional healthcare. While conventional medicine excels in many areas, it can sometimes fall short in addressing chronic health challenges. This realization led me to develop a practice focused on uncovering the root causes of persistent health issues through advanced functional testing and personalized protocols.
At the core of my approach are two sophisticated diagnostic tools: the GI MAP and MRT testing. The GI MAP (GI Microbial Assay Plus) uses cutting-edge DNA technology to provide a comprehensive analysis of your gut microbiome. This revolutionary stool test examines beneficial bacteria levels, potentially harmful organisms, fungal presence, and parasitic infections that might be compromising your health. It also reveals crucial information about your digestive function, including nutrient absorption, inflammation levels, and intestinal barrier health. I've consistently found that many chronic health issues can be traced back to gut dysfunction, making this assessment invaluable for creating effective healing protocols.
Equally important is the Mediator Release Test (MRT), which takes food sensitivity testing to an unprecedented level of accuracy. This sophisticated test measures your immune system's reaction to 170 foods and chemicals, identifying delayed reactions that can occur hours or even days after consuming trigger foods. I've worked with numerous clients who were diligently following "healthy" diets, unaware that certain foods were actually triggering inflammation and perpetuating their symptoms. The MRT helps us pinpoint these hidden triggers and create a dietary approach that truly supports healing.
By combining insights from both tests, I develop comprehensive healing protocols that address multiple aspects of your health:
Strategic elimination and reintroduction of specific foods
Targeted support for gut microbiome imbalances
Customized supplement recommendations
Practical lifestyle modifications that fit your real life
Clear timelines for rebuilding gut health and overall wellness
What sets my practice apart is the integration of these advanced testing methods with my background in both clinical nursing and nutritional therapy. This unique combination allows me to bridge the gap between conventional healthcare and functional wellness. My clients often come to me after years of struggling with complex digestive issues, persistent fatigue, hormonal imbalances, autoimmune conditions, and mysterious food reactions. They've typically heard "everything looks normal" despite feeling anything but normal.
Through our comprehensive approach, clients finally understand the underlying factors contributing to their symptoms and, most importantly, have a clear path toward feeling better. I believe that each person's journey to wellness is unique, which is why I take time to understand not just your symptoms, but your entire health story, lifestyle, and goals. This allows me to create protocols that are both effective and sustainable.
The most rewarding part of my work is witnessing remarkable transformations when we give the body the right tools and support to heal. If you're tired of managing symptoms and ready to address the underlying causes of your health issues, remember that you don't have to accept feeling unwell as your new normal. Through the precise insights provided by GI MAP and MRT testing, combined with expert guidance and support, true healing is possible.
