Why invest in integrative and functional nutrition counseling and therapy?
Many people don’t seek help for their health concerns because their symptoms don't align with a specific diagnosis. However, this doesn't mean these symptoms should be ignored or accepted as a part of daily life. Issues like fatigue, depression, acne and digestive issues can significantly impact your quality of life and should not be dismissed.
Unlike conventional medicine, which often focuses on managing symptoms with quick fixes, integrative and functional nutrition aims to treat the root cause of health issues by addressing underlying imbalances and providing personalized guidance that is tailored to your conditions and symptoms.
Having a provider who understands the relationship between your genes and nutrition is essential — everyone has a unique genome, so with nutrition, one size does not fit all.
Whether your interest is in basic guidance with monitoring for chronic disease prevention or comprehensive testing and treatment for specific conditions, Kiera will design a program that fits your specific needs, combining processes like integrative and functional nutrition, behavioral change therapy and belief reframing.

Root Cause Analysis
Kiera investigates beyond symptoms to uncover the root causes of your health issues to create sustainable, long-term solutions that promote optimal health.
Digestive Health
The gut is a cornerstone of all things health, affecting everything from nutrient absorption, to mental health and organ function. Recognizing the pivotal role of digestive health, Kiera integrates this crucial aspect into her approach.
Physio- & Psychological Factors
Physiological and psychological factors shape dietary habits and overall health. Kiera addresses the emotional and mental aspects of nutrition to help foster a healthy relationship between the two.
Environmental & Genetic Impacts
Health is significantly impacted by external factors and genetic predispositions. Kiera’s nuanced approach tailors recommendations to your environment and genetic makeup. Everyone has their own health blueprint!
Individualized Care
Curated grocery lists and meal plan outlines can be helpful for some, but they can prevent people from truly learning how to incorporate recommendations on a flexible basis.
Instead, Kiera helps to curate a guide for each client to educate them about how diet and lifestyle can seamlessly fit into their daily life. This includes diet, supplement and lifestyle recommendations that are customized to meet your distinct needs and goals.
Support & Education
Ongoing support helps you make informed decisions and understand the WHY behind the recommendation to help foster long-term changes. Kiera stays up-to date on new research and guidelines so you will too!
