What we offer

3 or 6 Month Program

We believe our bodies are intricately designed for healing. As Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioners (FNTPs), we first empower our clients with proper nutrition and lifestyle modifications to support optimal health and healing. Second, we recommend appropriate supplementation if needed.We focus on optimizing what we call the foundations: Nutrient Dense Diet, Blood Sugar Regulation, Digestion, Sleep, and Stress. This foundational approach is what sets us apart and helps us support our clients holistically.It takes time to see results from the bio-individual recommendations we provide our clients, which can vary from person to person. For this reason we offer a 3 or 6 month program. See more information below.

She loves empowering clients to trust their bodies again, and give them hope for health and healing. Her passion comes from her own health journey.

She especially found healing through food and lifestyle changes. She loves that now she gets to guide her clients in the same process! She enjoys getting to share her knowledge, insight, empathy and encouragement with every client and person she interacts with.Kelli grew up in Northern Michigan, where she fell in love with the outdoors and swimming (lakes were never far away). Now she lives in San Diego (her dream city) with her supportive husband and goldendoodle.

Testimonials

Stefany H.

"Working with Kelli in my nutrition journey has been life changing. Kelli is able to make the science behind the why certain foods triggered my symptoms easy to understand which in turn helped me make more informed decisions later. She gave me manageable and attainable goals, which has significantly improved my GI problems. Additionally, she encouraged me to find alternatives for the foods I love with other economically sound options. Kelli is very knowledgeable and I would recommend to anyone who wants to make a change that’ll stay with you for life."

Testimonials

Danielle L.G.

"Kelli has helped me in my journey to health especially my reoccurring cycle of bacterial vaginosis and healing post continuous antibiotic use. She taught me a lot, answered all my questions with gentleness and was ready with a game plan. Her game plan focused on foods and supplements that supported my blood sugar regulation, gut health as well as nutrient density in my diet. She helped me realize that all the little health decisions I make matter later and in the long run. She continuously reminded me to be patient during this process. I believe I have the right tools to continue my health journey throughout life & I am thankful I have Kelli as a resource."

Christine polito, FNTP

Christine is a lively, loving woman, with a heart fully alive. She was a very athletic young woman until her health took a turn in the latter half of high school. Like many, she was labeled with various diagnoses that attempted to explain the presentation of autoimmune dysfunction. This apparent setback started a very long journey of understanding the human body, how it works, how it doesn’t work, and the ways to nurture and care for it.She grew up in the Florida sunshine and now lives in sunny San Diego. She’s been married for over two decades, has five wonderful children, and a passion for helping others fine-tune their quality of life. She loves her family, the outdoors, spontaneous dance parties, and people.Her myriad of experience and suffering offers an extensive collection of wisdom and understanding, leading others to wholeness. She looks forward to walking alongside any other person who is willing to take the journey.
