When your emotions, focus, or energy feel harder to manage than usual, it is natural to wonder what your body might be trying to tell you. Many people come to this work because they sense an internal imbalance but do not want a clinical or medicalized approach. They want clarity, support, and a way to understand what is happening beneath the surface.

Amino acid therapy and neuronutrient support help you explore how nutrients influence your mood, stress response, and overall sense of emotional steadiness. This approach is gentle, collaborative, and paced with your comfort in mind. You do not need any prior knowledge to begin; we explore everything together.

I offer in-person sessions in Olympia, WA and the surrounding areas including Lacey, Tumwater, and Seattle. Virtual sessions are available across Washington State, throughout the US, and internationally for clients seeking non-clinical, educational support.

 What Amino Acid and Neuronutrient Therapy Is

Amino acids are the basic building blocks your brain uses to make neurotransmitters. These neurotransmitters play a role in how you feel, how you handle stress, how you focus, and how steady or overwhelmed you may feel day to day.

Neuronutrient support is a gentle, non-medical approach that explores:

  • emotional patterns

  • stress responses

  • nourishment habits

  • nervous system cues

  • potential neurotransmitter needs

  • simple supportive tools that may help you feel more balanced

    This work is not a diagnosis, not a prescription, and not a replacement for medical care. It is an educational, supportive approach that helps you understand your internal world in a clearer, more grounded way.

How This Service Fits With Therapy, Coaching, or Standalone Support

You do not need to be a therapy client to access amino acid or neuronutrient support.

This service is available on its own, or it can be combined with therapy (for Washington residents), functional nutritional therapy, or holistic coaching. Many people choose it as a standalone option because they want clarity, education, and grounded guidance without entering a therapeutic relationship.

If you live outside of Washington State, you can still work with me for this service. Amino acid and neuronutrient support is an educational, non-clinical offering, which means it is available to clients throughout the US and internationally.

You are welcome to explore this work whether you are seeking therapy, coaching, or simply want help understanding your mood, energy, or stress patterns from a gentle, holistic perspective.

Understanding the Difference Between Amino Acid Therapy and Neuronutrient Support

Amino acid therapy focuses on specific amino acids that can support the brain in creating neurotransmitters related to mood, stress response, and focus.

Neuronutrient therapy is a broader approach that includes amino acids along with other nutrients and nourishment patterns that influence emotional steadiness.

Both work together to offer a clearer picture of how your brain and body communicate.

Why Amino Acids Support Emotional and Nervous System Health

Your nourishment, mood, and nervous system are connected.

Your emotional patterns often have nutritional and nervous system components. When your body does not have the nutrients it needs to support neurotransmitter production, you may experience:

• anxiety or overwhelm
• irritability or mood swings
• low mood or emotional flatness
• trouble focusing or staying motivated
• emotional reactivity
• sleep disruptions
• stress sensitivity
• the sense that your brain feels “wired but tired”

Exploring amino acids and neuronutrient support gives insight into:

• why certain emotional patterns keep showing up
• why stress feels harder to manage lately
• why you may feel depleted or overstimulated
• how nourishment influences your emotional steadiness
• what your brain might need to feel more supported

We move slowly, gently, and always with care. Nothing is forced. Nothing is rushed. You are never asked to change everything at once.
