Meet our team of Holistic Wellness Practitioners who help individuals experiencing chronic and autoimmune diseases to recover sustainably. We pool our resources, knowledge and experiences so that all our clients have access to some of the highest quality comprehensive healthcare information and treatment options available today.

We do this by using the client’s health history, symptoms and in-depth blood and specialized testing to uncover the cause(s) of an individual’s illness. Using a clinically proven tiered approach, we address the root cause(s), walk beside our clients through their recovery journey step by step, as well as support and coach through the tough spots and celebrate their amazing wins. We provide continued care as needed to support the client’s continued wellness for years to come.
We work with clients nationwide, as well as internationally via telehealth, who are experiencing a variety of health issues such as but not limited to autoimmune disease, chronic inflammation, Type 2 Diabetes, thyroid and/or hormonal imbalances, and gastrointestinal issues. Meet the team that will help you identify what is causing your disease process, address those specific causes and help you achieve sustainable wellness.

– Transformation Specialist
As a certified personal trainer for over 20 years, as well as a corrective exercise specialist and nutrition coach specializing in inflammation and hormones, Barb brings a lot to our team and our clients. Her passion is functional movement and building strength in the body by balancing muscle groups as well as strengthening the core. The core is the foundation for the entire body therefore making it the primary focus for strength building. Secondarily, ridding the body of inflammation by creating a nutrition plan for clients is another huge passion. Where there is inflammation…the body cannot operate the way it was intended to operate so in order to build strength…inflammation needs to be removed.
