Hi, I’m Lydia, a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner

I'm passionate about helping holistic-minded women reclaim their energy, balance their bodies, and live the vibrant, thriving lives they deserve.

Back in 2009, when my marriage ended, I knew I needed to make a serious shift.

My own health was suffering, and my kids were starting to experience their own challenges. I knew I had to find solutions that would address our health issues at the root, not just slap a band-aid on the symptoms.

That’s when I discovered hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA) and nutritional therapy.

I started using HTMA for my own health and eventually for my family. It wasn’t long before I saw the impact—my energy levels began to recover, my chronic fatigue eased, and my kids’ health started to stabilize.

My youngest son, who had been emotionally reactive and constantly on edge, experienced a profound shift. What was once labeled as ADHD by others, I recognized as a pattern of depletion and imbalance in his body chemistry.

Through HTMA, we worked on restoring his mineral balance, and I saw a whole new side of him emerge—calmer, more focused, and emotionally stable.

That experience inspired me to share this powerful approach with other moms. I realized that so many of us are struggling with our own health while trying to support our kids—and often, traditional approaches just don’t address the full picture. We’re dealing with chronic fatigue, gut issues, skin problems, respiratory challenges, and allergies—both for ourselves and our children—and yet, the solutions we’re offered don’t dig deep enough to truly heal.

What I Do

These days, I combine my expertise in nutritional therapy with two powerful functional tests—Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) and BiomeFX for gut health—to uncover the root causes of my clients’ health struggles. Together, we create personalized, sustainable plans that address everything from mineral imbalances and mold exposure to gut dysfunction and adrenal fatigue.

But my work isn’t just about protocols and test results. It’s about helping you truly connect to your body, your intuition, and the natural rhythms of life. Whether it’s rewilding through foraging, redefining your relationship with food, or finding joy in baby steps, I’m here to guide you back to a life of balance and abundance.

 

My Mission

I believe that vibrant health isn’t just a possibility—it’s your birthright. My mission is to empower you to listen to your body, honor its needs, and take small-but-powerful steps toward healing. You don’t have to live in survival mode, and you don’t have to do it alone. Together, we’ll uncover what’s been holding you back and build a foundation for lasting wellness—mind, body, and soul.

  

Are We A Fit?

You care deeply about your health and the world around you.

Maybe you’re someone who seeks natural, eco-friendly ways to live—whether that’s growing your own food, foraging wild medicine, or buying organic and local whenever possible. You might be a holistic practitioner, a healer, or simply someone who prioritizes natural ways to nourish and care for your body. Whatever path you’re on—thank you for caring about our world and our well-being.  

Like me, you may be concerned about what’s happening to our world. The shift away from traditional and indigenous ways of living to a fast-paced, tech-driven world that’s disconnecting us from nature. The toxins, the screentime, the chronic malnourishment we see as we continue to strip our soil and pollute our waters. You can feel the imbalance, the human suffering that’s growing, and you know there’s more to come.  

 

Amidst all this, you’re drawn to preserve the wisdom of nature and our connection to the Earth. You want to heal in a way that honors the old ways, a way that nourishes the body, mind, and spirit in harmony with the world around us.  

You dream of unplugging from the modern grind, living off the land with a community of like-minded people. You picture raising children together, sharing meals, and living in harmony with the Earth in a way that regenerates rather than depletes. You work hard for the possibility of this kind of life—where we honor the planet and each other in the most beautiful way possible.   If you’re like me, you want to live as a creature, connected to the rhythms of nature, not as a machine. You want your health and your life to be an offering—one that nourishes and deepens your connection to this world and to the people around you. This work is about helping you do just that.

On Local

You love local, organic food and farmers markets. Maybe you have relationships with local farmers or even grow your own food. You cherish the uniqueness of your community—the small businesses, the local artisans, the flavors and culture that make a place special. You believe true wealth comes from community, from knowing your neighbors, from supporting the people who are doing good work.  

 

On Health & Food

You want to see a world where people rely on the Earth for healing, not corporations. You dream of cities filled with gardens, food forests, and backyard chickens. Your kitchen might have a well-worn copy of *Nourishing Traditions,* and you believe that traditional, whole foods are our best medicine. You trust Big Pharma less and less every year, and you feel compelled by the idea that our health depends on nourishing our bodies and the land.  

 

On Children

You believe kids should have unstructured time to play in nature. You question the system of schooling and long for a world where children’s unique gifts are recognized and nurtured. You dream of homeschooling or unschooling, or sending your children to a place where they can learn in a way that honors their creativity and individuality.
