"I no longer have bowel irregularity (fluctuating constipation and diarrhea), I can eat so many more foods than I have been in the last 10 years, and I have significantly less fear and anxiety when it comes to food."

I was stuck in a cycle of restriction when I started working with Kristi. My relationship with food was terrible and I battled with food fear and anxiety after years of struggling to nourish my body and heal without aggravating my GI symptoms. 

The knowledge that Kristi uses to help tackle the root cause of symptoms is a total game changer. I no longer have bowel irregularity (fluctuating constipation and diarrhea), I can eat so many more foods than I have been in the last 10 years, and I have significantly less fear and anxiety when it comes to food. I also feel much more confident saying yes to social situations because I’m not worried about my stomach hurting. 95% of my abdominal pain is gone (which is huge for me) and I no longer rely on medications to manage my bowel symptoms. 

Working with Kristi was a true partnership. She was non-judgemental and made me feel really comfortable talking about everything that had been going on. She didn’t push me to make changes I wasn’t ready for and really respected my boundaries and met me in the middle. If I was fearful about something she would come up with 5 other ways to do it so that I was comfortable. 

Now that our work together comes to an end, I’m excited to actually nourish and feed my body in the way I’ve always known I’ve needed to and wanted to. It’s liberating to know I can eat without pain and that those foods are helping my body to heal.

"I no longer have to spend everyday worrying about whether I will feel bad, when it might happen, and cancel plans or call out from work if it did. I get emotional thinking about how much this process with you has changed my life. I am immensely grateful! "

Before working together, I had debilitating stomach aches almost daily and nothing I tried worked. I spent a year trying greens powders, magnesium, low FODMAP, and other strategies to feel better. They would help a little for a couple weeks but I was still experiencing daily stomachaches, and eventually they’d stopped providing any relief at all.

Working with Kristi, I always felt like there was a game plan to move forward. I started to see a slow decrease in stomachaches and I took comfort that every time we met, there was a plan adjustment to support my ultimate goal of not having daily or even weekly stomach issues. Additionally, the testing was so critical. I went to a gastroenterologist and he didn’t do any testing.

I haven’t had a stomachache in a few months! I no longer have to spend everyday worrying about whether I will feel bad, when it might happen, and cancel plans or call out from work when it did. And I know a significant amount more about my digestive system. I feel confident I can identify causes of my gastrointestinal discomfort I may experience and know an action plan if it happens. 

The best part of working together was the peace of mind. I was not worried about whether I would start feeling bad again and need to reach out to her. That confidence is so tremendous.

Kristi, thank you so much again for everything. I get emotional thinking about how much this process with you has changed my life. I am immensely grateful!

"I tried OTC remedies and seeing doctors, but nothing worked, or if it did, it was in the very short term. I didn't realize just how miserable I was until I finally felt some relief!"

Prior to working with Kristi, I had chronic acid reflux and bloating for years and after just a few short months or working with her, nearly all of my symptoms were significantly reduced. I tried OTC remedies and seeing doctors, but nothing worked, or if it did, it was in the very short term. I didn't realize just how miserable I was until I finally felt some relief!

Kristi is incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and helpful. She is thorough in everything she does and her attention to detail is greatly appreciated. She is readily accessible via for questions or concerns along the way and is very quick to reply. I have mentioned her to friends and family quite a few times already and I would highly recommend her for gut problems you may have, no matter how big or small! Thanks so much Kristi!

"I can take control with actionable steps with the tools Kristi has given me, from managing digestion to nourishing my body with foods that I now know my body needs."

My biggest challenges before working with Kristi were gas, bloating, unnecessary snacking, persistent headaches - all the things! Almost all of the symptoms I'd reported at the start of working together have decreased dramatically, and the ones I'm still combatting are much more manageable.

What's most powerful about my experience is knowing now that I can take control with actionable steps with the tools Kristi has given me, from managing digestion to nourishing my body with foods that I know my body needs.

I also loved the prescriptive nature (even though they're very kindly put forward as suggestions) of how to build my day with foods. I knew after every check-in exactly what I should be doing to further my progress — and that sometimes meant making adjustments to the plan in place. 

Kristi’s a delight of a human being! She’s a cheerleader and fact-checker at the same time — my favorite combo in a human, especially one I'm hoping to trust with something as personal as health and wellness.

"I can eat what I need without feeling guilty, deprived, or bloated."

When I started working with Kristi, my biggest struggles were figuring out what and how much to eat to keep myself energized (without also gaining weight). Adding to my frustrations were out-of-control acne and frequent bloating episodes that affected me at work, when I most needed to focus. I felt like my relationship with my body was at one of its lowest points ever.

From our work together, I’ve gotten a clearer sense of how much food (and what kinds of food) my body needs in order to handle each day, and I reconnected intuitively with my body and its needs. This has taken practice, but I am much better able to sense when I am hungry, tired, or anxious, and I can respond accordingly. Honoring my hunger is a huge one for me, since my whole life has been about trying to control my body and deny/resist its hunger cues. I have peace of mind now around food, especially when it comes to big events, holidays, and even eating at work. I can eat what I need without feeling guilty, deprived, or bloated. I've gained an understanding of what can stress out my body and eventually show up on my skin (such as not focusing on digestion, not taking time for myself, not setting boundaries around my time/energy, not eating enough). The newfound ease I've experienced with my gut health (and *ahem* regularity) has been remarkable, and I'm really surprised by my relative skin clarity during this cycle!

One of the things I loved most about working with Kristi was feeling like she genuinely cared about me and my health. I felt so supported all the way through. At no point did I feel alone or lost!  

I'm excited to continue trying out new recipes and working out creative ways of taking care of myself. And, I'm excited that my choices and habits are rubbing off on my family!

"I no longer have discomfort after meals and I can eat fruit again!"

My digestion, gas and bloating were my biggest challenges before working with Kristi. She listened and addressed all of my specific concerns. The most impactful change since we started our work together is that I no longer have discomfort after meals and I can eat fruit again! I have better digestion and limited bloating and gas overall, and I no longer have to rely on enemas to have a regular bowel movement.

"I'm entirely off antacids, haven't had significant heartburn in weeks, and most importantly feel like I'm back in the drivers seat of my gut health."

When I started working with Kristi, digestion had become such a problem that I was actively avoiding many foods, and limiting how frequently I ate. OTC solutions were no longer helping, my main doctor only recommended elimination diets, and I no longer had an effective mental model for how to manage my stomach and gut health. Fast forward through multiple sessions with Kristi, a healing regiment and a 3-month protocol - and I'm entirely off antacids, haven't had significant heartburn in weeks, and most importantly feel like I'm back in the drivers seat of my gut health. Thank you Kristi!

"Working with Kristi helped me to better understand why my body was behaving the way it was."

For the last few years, I've suffered from digestive issues. I thought I had tried everything — from eliminating dairy to trying various probiotics, etc. I just couldn't get to the root cause of my issues. Working with Kristi helped me to better understand why my body was behaving the way it was.

Kristi is thorough and understanding. She helped me to see that some of the things I thought were "healthy" were actually doing more harm than good, and since implementing her recommendations my symptoms have greatly improved. For this process to work you must be willing to implement the diet and lifestyle changes, but rest assured, Kristi gives you manageable action steps to move forward. She is a wealth of information and a breath of fresh air! I cannot say enough great things about Kristi and I highly recommend working with her to improve your nutrition and overall well-being.

"I ate 'healthy' but felt like everything I ate made me bloated and uncomfortable. Since working with her over the past couple of months, Kristi helped me decrease my bloating A TON and I've also been able to clear up my skin and have a ton of energy again!!"

Working with Kristi has been nothing short of amazing! Not only is she kind, patient, and knowledgable, you can tell she really cares about each client she works with. When I decided to work with Kristi I had been battling uncomfortable bloating, acne, and low energy for years. I ate "healthy" but felt like everything I ate made me bloated and uncomfortable. Since working with her over the past couple of months, Kristi helped me decrease my bloating A TON and I've also been able to clear up my skin and have a ton of energy again!! I finally feel like myself and I no longer fear food or going out with family/friends. Kristi showed me I can still enjoy life while going through this gut healing journey and I now feel like I have the tools to sustain this on my own and continue this journey feeling AMAZING!!

"Kristi is incredible! She's so knowledgeable AND incredibly relatable. She broke things down into bite-size pieces (when it comes to educating about a topic and when it comes to taking action based on that knowledge). I was always very clear on the WHY and HOW behind the recommendations. My mindset around nutrition is what changed the most. She models a very realistic approach to nutrition. I so appreciated learning from her!"

"I can now also fit into my skinny jeans without looking like I just ate a burrito as my bloating significantly decreased."

When I first started working with Kristi, my biggest challenge was my energy level. With three young kids, one of whom is still breastfeeding with diet restrictions, I wanted to make sure that I was doing everything I could to nurture my body with the right foods that wouldn't cause that afternoon crash I was always experiencing. I was also having mystery bloating concerns which I learned from Kristi could be avoided with simple chewing tips, vitamins, and diet changes.

Kristi helped me put together a plan that I could easily follow given my busy lifestyle and with her guidance I gained the confidence to incorporate well-balanced snacks, easy meals, and changes that made me feel more energized at every point of the day. I can now also fit into my skinny jeans without looking like I just ate a burrito as my bloating significantly decreased, which I am very excited about :) For me, the ease of working with Kristi along with her passion to help me feel my best meant everything. And I now feel like I can make better diet and lifestyle choices that I can incorporate into mine and my family's everyday life. 10/10 would recommend working with Kristi!

"My biggest challenge was knowing how to fuel my body. I was focused on being full with less food, and now I focus on proportions and completeness of hitting the categories that will sustain me."

Susan D.

"Learning how to balance meals for my body has been a game changer. Now I have a much better understanding of what foods will nourish me and what foods will just leave me hungry in a few hours. I also had some digestion issues that have gotten a lot better mostly because I am eating better foods for my body."

"Kristi is able to break things down so you are capable, after several visits, to start assessing your body reactions for yourself. It doesn’t happen immediately, but once it does, it provides a guiltless freedom of trust in yourself. Found I didn’t have to weigh myself every day. What a relief!"
