WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING

"Vanessa's expertise as a nutritionist has been life-changing for me. Suffering from acid reflux, bloating, and cramping, I felt hopeless until I got guidance from her! She not only pinpointed the root causes of my discomfort, debunking a misdiagnosed avocado allergy, but also taught me invaluable lessons about healthy eating and fostered a positive mindset towards food. Thanks to her guidance, I've not only alleviated my symptoms but have also developed a healthier relationship with food. I couldn't recommend Vanessa more highly."

-BIANCA, CLIENT WITH FOOD SENSITIVITIES AND GERD
"Since working with Vanessa, I have had more symptomatic free days than I have ever had. I no longer have emergency bathroom runs or quick moving bowels with no trigger or reason why. I now have very regular bowel movements (twice a day!) and am living with no stomach pains or pangs. Through supplement use and guidance from Vanessa, I have also eliminated my daily nausea and acid reflux. I have loved every moment I have gotten to work with Vanessa. I truly feel that she has changed my life and made me see that there is a possibility for a symptom free life. Vanessa is an excellent listener who really takes what you say, thinks about it, and gives amazing recommendations. Vanessa is very accommodating and gives amazing guidance throughout the whole process.

-GRACE, CLIENT WITH GERD AND IBS
"I have little to no painful stomach aches that take me out for hours. I have reduced my food anxiety to zero. I used to be so fearful of food and what might happen even when I was doing my best to eat the "right" foods to avoid stomach pain and inflammation. I have expanded my diet which is not only a relief but also a HUGE win for going out with friends/cooking dinner. Working with Vanessa was stress free and very validating. I felt heard and understood each time we met. I felt desperate and willing to try anything and Vanessa took the time to listen to my individual needs and create plans that were 'do-able' and realistic for me."

-NATALIE, CLIENT WITH IBS
"To say it has been life changing is an understatement. I think I never really knew what feeling really good was until after the blood tests and analysis she did on those for me. I feel, like the old phrase says, a million dollars. I highly recommend her. She is very knowledgeable, easy to get in touch with and is genuinely concerned about her patients. I can not thank her enough for her time and awareness of what my body required and didn't require. "

-CAROLE, CLIENT WHO WANTED TO OPTIMIZE HER HEALTH
"She was able to have the tools needed to help me fix my leaky gut and improve my health overall. My immune system is back to where it was, my brain fog is gone, my stomach is doing great. Total 180 from where I was!

-NICHOLAS, CLIENT WITH FOOD SENSITIVITIES AND BRAIN FOG
"We managed my cortisol to a point where I feel that I have much more control over my stress levels and the way it has impacted my day-to-day! Constipation and bowel irregularity is ALL BETTER! Such a relief and helps me feel so normal. My periods are back on a consistent cycle and each period is back to the way it was years ago before taking birth control. Inflammation and body composition has improved tremendously. I finally feel like my body is looking, moving, and feeling the way it really should. It has been a long time since I have felt this way and I feel so happy to finally be at a place where I feel healthy and happy!"

-ALI, CLIENT WITH CONSTIPATION, HIGH CORTISOL, AND INFLAMMATION
"After working with Vanessa, I can now eat dairy with no issues, which is something I haven't been able to do for over 6 years. I now understand what factors were causing the symptoms I was experiencing and what lifestyle changes I could make in order to resolve them. I have also improved my skin health significantly and no longer suffer from constant bloating, inflammation, and issues sleeping. Working with Vanessa actually changed my life, and I am so incredibly grateful that I had the opportunity to work with her to get my health back on track. I can not recommend her enough and highly encourage people to work with her to understand the root cause of their health issues."

- ETHAN, CLIENT WITH BLOATING AND ACNE
"I struggled with fatigue, digestive issues, and food sensitivities, and I wanted to understand what was happening in my body. We started with foundational changes, but when I needed deeper insights, we ran tests—and I’m so glad we did! The results revealed specifics that, despite months of clean eating, I never would have discovered on my own. Thanks to Vanessa’s guidance, I now feel more in tune with my body and understand what triggers my symptoms. I no longer feel anxious when something feels off; instead, I have the tools to restore balance and feel my best again."

Womens hormone balancing in Orange County

Hey there, I'm Vanessa!

My journey with functional nutrition is a personal one that took me from feeling deeply disappointed with conventional health care to feeling empowered and hope-filled.

During my teenage and college years, I began struggling with my health and decided to dive into the research for myself. Learning about using food for healing quickly developed into a deep passion for integrative and functional medicine. Now, as a Functional Nutritionist (CNS, MS), I have the joy and honor of partnering with my clients so that they too can experience transformative healing through whole-body nourishment.
