Functional Nutritional Therapy in Olympia, WA
Support for your mood, energy, and nervous system through a gentle, whole person approach to nourishment that you can access on its own or alongside therapy or coaching, no matter where you are located.
When your mood feels unpredictable, your energy crashes, or your body feels out of sync, it can be confusing to know where to start. Functional nutritional therapy helps you understand what your body is trying to communicate so you can support yourself in a way that feels clear, compassionate, and doable.
This approach looks at nourishment, stress patterns, emotions, and body cues together. It meets you where you are and gives you practical insights into what helps your system feel steadier and more supported.
I offer in person sessions in Olympia, WA and the surrounding areas including Lacey, Tumwater, and Seattle. Virtual sessions are available across Washington State and throughout the US.
What Functional Nutritional Therapy Is
Functional nutritional therapy explores how nourishment patterns influence mood, energy, focus, and emotional steadiness. It is a non restrictive, trauma informed approach that honors your lived experience and your body’s unique needs.
This is not a diet.
This is not about tracking, restricting, or judging food choices.
This is not medical nutrition therapy.
Together, we explore:
how your body responds to stress
how nourishment impacts your emotions and nervous system
patterns that influence energy, cravings, and mood
how to understand your hunger and fullness cues
simple supportive shifts that help you feel more grounded
what feels nourishing, accessible, and realistic for you
You learn to understand your body’s signals with more clarity, and you get tools that help you feel supported rather than overwhelmed.
Do I Need to Be a Therapy Client for Functional Nutritional Therapy?
You do not need to be a therapy client to work with me in functional nutritional therapy. This service is available as its own standalone support, or it can be combined with therapy (for Washington residents only), holistic coaching, or amino acid and neuronutrient work.
This approach is educational, non-clinical, and focused on understanding your nourishment patterns, nervous system cues, and emotional rhythms. Because of this, it is available to clients across Washington State and throughout the US.
You’re welcome here whether you want support alongside therapy, instead of therapy, or simply want clarity around how nourishment influences your mood, energy, and sense of steadiness.
Why Functional Nutrition Supports Emotional Health
Your nourishment, mood, and nervous system are connected.
Many people are surprised by how much nourishment influences emotional steadiness. When your body is under fueled, stressed, or missing certain nutrients, it can affect:
• mood fluctuations
• emotional overwhelm
• energy crashes
• irritability
• sleep patterns
• focus and clarity
• cravings
• nervous system stability
• stress tolerance
Functional nutritional therapy gives you a clearer picture of what is happening behind the scenes so you can respond to your body with more compassion and less confusion.
This approach is gentle and supportive. There is no pressure to change everything at once. We move at your pace and work with what feels possible for you right now.
Support for adults navigating anxiety, overwhelm, nourishment confusion, or disconnection from their body.
This work is a good fit if you:
• want clarity around the food mood connection
• feel anxious, overwhelmed, or easily depleted
• have inconsistent energy or emotional highs and lows
• struggle with nourishment patterns or appetite cues
• feel disconnected from your body
• want guidance that is compassionate and non judgemental
• are healing from perfectionism or rigid food rules
• want to understand what helps your nervous system feel more steady
Functional nutritional therapy can stand alone or be combined with holistic therapy (for Washington residents), coaching, or amino acid and neuronutrient support. Many people choose it as a standalone option.
Who Functional Nutritional Therapy Is For
My approach is shaped by both professional training and my own experience learning how nourishment affects emotional wellbeing.
While raising my children who had unique health needs, I began exploring the relationship between nutrition, energy, mood, and resilience. What I learned transformed the way I support myself and my clients.
