🌱Eat Happy FAQ’s

I am a certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner with multiple years of experience working 1:1 with clients!

I am also certified in levels 1 and 2 for HTMA testing ( hair mineral testing) so that I have better insight to some deeply rooted imbalances that need to be addressed for better healing!

Additionally, I have a certification in Functional Blood Chemistry, and completed coursework for GI Map, DUTCH , and Allergy Testing as well!

That is up to you! I like to try and solve most dysfunctions naturally with a food forward approach, but this day and age, it may limit the amount of nutrients we can get through food due to soil quality and deterioration of crop quality.

There are also some nutrients That your body needs but you cannot get through foods. I great example of this is Vitamin B8 for PCOS and hormonal imbalances. There may be occasions where I make recommendations with supplements to help with stress, digestion, adrenals, or other functions, but I always want to respect your budget and your decisions!

Conventional healthcare often focuses on diagnosing and managing symptoms. Holistic nutrition looks at why those symptoms may be happening in the first place! ( Root- Cause healing!)

As a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, I support the body using nutrition, lifestyle changes, and targeted support to improve digestion, mineral balance, hormone communication, and energy production — all while working alongside your existing medical care when needed.

A Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP) is trained to assess nutritional imbalances and support the body’s foundational systems — including digestion, blood sugar regulation, stress response, and mineral balance.

Rather than chasing symptoms, I help clients understand how their body is functioning and what it needs to work more efficiently. Nutritional therapy is especially helpful for people who have been told their labs are “normal,” but still don’t feel well.

I believe that Nutritional Therapy can work for everyone!

Maybe you aren’t having any issues with bloating or digestion, or your periods are normal and no hormonal issues are apparent...

The education that you will receive on our calls about nutrients, foods, diet culture, preparation, balance, mindset, and more can be shared with your whole family!

The amount of NEW information I’ve learned over the past two years has been so eye-opening and I love sharing how to make simple changes to improve your day-to-day health + wellness!

Nutritional therapy is not a quick fix. It requires a certain level of time and consistency to allow the body to absorb and rejuvenate fully.

More complex cases are a bit like detective work and we may try different ideas over a few months. This is often because as one symptom or issue is resolved, it shines a light on something else that needs to be addressed, too. We work through them until you feel your best!

I love to offer packages to really dive in and work together for 4-6 months (or beyond!) but I also see people on a more visit-by-visit basis and for general 'maintenance' check-ins after their initial visits!

This is an amazing moment where we allow time, cell turnover, nutrition, and overall wellness to take place. I have seen people feel better in a few days to a few weeks, so it is really bio-individual!

What I ca say is that the more you commit to your tiny habits and make them an established part of your daily routine, the quicker yo’ll start to see changes happen!

HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis) is a non-invasive test that measures the mineral and heavy metal content in your hair. Since minerals are the “spark plugs” of the body, this test helps us understand how well your systems are functioning—especially your metabolism, stress response, thyroid, adrenal function, and detox capacity.

Unlike blood work, which gives you a snapshot of what's happening in the moment, HTMA shows your longer-term patterns and how your body is adapting to stress over time. This gives us powerful insight into what’s behind your symptoms—so we can create a plan that supports true healing from the inside out.

If you're feeling burned out, bloated, foggy, wired-but-tired, or just not like yourself, this test can reveal hidden imbalances you won’t see elsewhere.

Yes! Payments through FSA and HSA are available. However, I will need a letter from a your healthcare provider or PCP stating that Nutritional Therapy is MEDICALLY NECESSARY to allow these payments to be processed. Please let me know if you need an exaple of what this looks like.

Item descriptiI primarily work with women who are tired of feeling tired — women dealing with fatigue, hormone imbalances, digestive issues, thyroid concerns, or chronic stress.

Many of my clients are busy, overwhelmed, and have already “tried everything.” They’re not looking for another diet — they want clarity, support, and a plan that actually fits real life.on

Yes, functional testing is available when appropriate. This may include tools like HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis) or other functional labs to help us understand mineral balance, stress patterns, and underlying imbalances.

That said, testing is not required to work with me. Many clients see meaningful improvements by focusing on foundational nutrition and lifestyle support first.

Healing timelines vary, but many clients begin noticing changes — like improved energy, digestion, or sleep — within the first few weeks!

Holistic healthcare is not about overnight fixes. It’s about building sustainable changes with tiny habits that support your body long-term, so results actually last instead of cycling back.

Yes! Thats the only way my practice works! I work with clients virtually across the United States. Virtual nutritional therapy allows for flexible scheduling and ongoing support without the stress of travel!

All sessions, resources, and communication are designed to feel personal, connected, and easy to integrate into your daily life. Im also happy to record sessions for you to re-watch later on!

Working with me means finally getting answers about why you're exhausted—and a clear plan to fix it!

Here's How We Work Together:

Start with a Realignment Review ($97) This is your starting point. In 20 minutes, I'll record a personalized video analyzing what's really going on with your digestion, blood sugar, adrenal health, and nutrient absorption. You'll get specific, actionable steps you can implement immediately—no vague advice about "eating better" or "reducing stress."

Move into Jumpstart Support ($450) Ready for more? The Jumpstart package gives you personalized support over several weeks. We'll dig deeper into your specific symptoms, I'll create customized protocols using my PFF Method (Protein, Fat, Fiber), tiny habit structures, and you'll get ongoing guidance as you implement changes. This is where real transformation happens!

Add Functional Testing When You're Ready! HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis) shows us what's happening at the cellular level—mineral imbalances, heavy metal toxicity, adrenal patterns, and metabolic health. This isn't guessing; it's data-driven nutritional therapy that targets your unique biochemistry!

I've been where you are. As a former teacher who experienced stage 3 adrenal fatigue, I understand the burnout that comes from putting everyone else first. My approach is food-first, realistic, and designed for busy caretakers who don't have time for complicated protocols.

You won't get judgment. You won't get perfection. You'll get practical strategies, batch cooking systems like my "Pick 3" method, and someone who genuinely understands that you're doing the best you can.
