Non-judgmental, Mary works with people to figure out practical solutions that work. I have done two detoxes with Mary as well as numerous consultations.

She has helped me…read morethrough the practical and emotional barriers to celiac disease and more recently a thyroid disorder. She always sends me home with a write up of what we discussed, recipes, and a fresh outlook on my health. My favorite thing about Mary is how she treats me. I have never felt pressured to eat my weight in kale or follow some nutrition plan I didn't feel good about. She asks questions about my preferences and likelihood of preparing foods so that it's a co-created plan. Her witty and spunky personality is so comforting, not to mention how sensitive she is to my "relationship with my body".

She has an intuitive ability to strike the right balance between mental, physical and emotional health while helping to support daily eating habits. She is also non judgmental which helped me feel even more secure with her abilities. She has a wealth of knowledge and adds to this with her podcast that is chock full of very informative yet down to earth guests. (I know everyone has a podcast these days, but hers is really special!) Schedule a coffee talk and look into her podcast, trust me!

I've been working with Jeannie for over a year now because I trust her expertise. I first met her…read moreover a complimentary "coffee chat" where we discussed my specific concerns and goals. I'm in the midst of my second program of hers, the 21 day detox. This is going to be tough as it's the first time I've done something like this - she has been encouraging and has went above and beyond to support me along the way. I've recommended my 65 year old dad to her. She's someone you can trust - I appreciate her holistic knowledge regarding health and wellness. She cares about her clients. Thank you Jeannie!

She has a deep passion for solving food sensitivity issues and clearing the underlying problem, such as headaches, weight gain, mood/energy issues, upset stomach and so on. I love the path that she takes by finding out what your sensative to the quick way. And then using the meetings to expand on that and have those findings make a difference and inegrate them inot your life.

Working with Joy has changed my life. I finally found a medical professional who has been able to…read morehelp me solve my long standing chronic health issues. Lo and behold I have numerous food sensitivities that compromise my energy levels, create achy joints, brain fog, allergies and ability to lose weight. Eating according to my unique and tailored food plan has eliminated or severely reduced all of these issues that my family doctor could not address and I have lost 20 pounds as well. If you follow her guidelines you will get results. It has not always been an easy path (yes, I still struggle with being a sugar addict) but it is well worth it for me to apply myself over and over. Joy is completely clear about her policies and about the fact that changing food habits is very hard work. She does not sugar coat anything and is very transparent. I plan on consulting with her throughout 2016 as I continue on my road to better health through reducing food sensitivities and losing weight. If you are serious about understanding how foods impact your health and are seeking a caring and intelligent provider who will give you advice tailored to your specific conditions, then Joy is someone for you to meet.

Many people say that I'm the healthiest person they know - I eat super clean and I exercise…read morefrequently. Still, I have struggled with chronic physical and mental fatigue, malaise, brain fog and a number of other physical manifestations. For years, I have seen doctor after doctor - MDs and Naturopathic Doctors (NDs). I even sought out one of the best endocrinologists in the greater Seattle area and I continued to be told that my symptoms are normal for a 30 year old. The MDs referred me to tons of specialists who treated me for symptoms, but no one was looking at the underlying cause. I was referred to Dr. Elena from my ND for IV infusions to boost my immune system. I have a lot going on - hypothyroidism, hormone imbalances, persistently high Epstein-Barr lab values, low immune system lab values and more. Dr. Elena sat down with me for an hour through every IV infusion and asked about my history, how my treatment has been going and brainstormed ideas about how my treatment could be improved. I was truly feeling hopeless about my deteriorating health and body. Dr. Elena collaborated with my ND and other NDs regarding my treatment plan. I have felt so much more optimistic working with professionals that are sharing knowledge and expertise to help me improve. Dr. Elena is professional, compassionate, and very knowledgeable. My situation is complex, but I am starting to feel much better. I was kind of skeptical about the IV infusions helping me, but they really do make a huge difference. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Elena. If you have been searching for answers, Dr. Elena cares about finding out the root cause and working with you to improve your quality of life.

I had my initial webcast appointment with Alex over three months ago. She thoughtfully went over my…read moremedical history, existing eating plan, and gave me the tools to monitor my progress via her app. Not only did we establish an eating plan together she took the time to explain how foods work in my body and how to use them to fuel harder parts of my days. We then continued progress checks every couple weeks with her constant feedback of my choices via the app. As time has progressed she has introduced meal planning, recipes, the importance of chia seeds, and gut health. This is the best investment I have made for myself and have and will continue to use her skills to help in establishing healthy eating habits. And the weightloss as a result isn't so bad either...averaging a pound a week.

I have nothing but great things to say about Natalie!…read more I have bounced back and forth between binge eating and extreme dieting for most of my adult life. When I found Natalie, I had just come off a round of extreme dieting and was looking for a more balanced look at nutrition. I had heard of Intuitive Eating in the past but had sort of dismissed it because as I told Natalie on our first call: "Clearly, your intuition is telling me to eat different things than my intuition." I worked with Natalie for about 6 months and I can say for a fact that the person I was when I met her and the person I am now are two completely different people (in the best way). I'm still a work in progress and probably always will be, but I can say with absolute certainty that I'm a better version of myself than before I met Natalie. If you have been struggling with food, if you've never experienced a life where food didn't rule you in one way or another and are reading this, I highly encourage you to reach out to Natalie. She is the most non-judgmental of humans and you will immediately feel at ease in her (virtual) presence.

I really enjoyed working with Natalie. She was so patient, thoughtful, and considerate throughout…read moreour interactions and I felt like I made tangible progress in my understanding of my relationship with food and to my body. Natalie always had a constructive idea or suggestion to problems I was working through and was especially helpful helping me think about fueling as an athlete.

What was frustrating to me is that some of the advice I received was useful and some of it was baloney! The first appointment was spent with the provider talking on and on and making generic recommendations, we didn't even go through my medical history! Then a few red flags popped up (recommended expensive, $300+, not covered by insurance DUTCH testing for "estrogen dominance" and other distractions to waste your money), and a real push for me to start seeing an ND even though I didn't want to. I'm just glad I checked with my gynecologist about the usefulness of the test (it's not useful) before wasting my money! I did find the staff to be kind and personable, hence the two stars instead of one.

I thought a nutritionist would lecture me on not eating enough vegetables and make me feel guilty for eating a doughnut occasionally; boy was I wrong! They support your decisions and gently couch you to making better nutritional choices and lifestyle changes to make you feel better, based on what's best for you. They don't just choose a diet and tell you it's what you need to do! So happy that they are my partner in creating the best version of myself.
