Hi! I am Jess, your functional medicine nutritionist! Are you tired of struggling with chronic health issues? Do you want to identify and address the root cause of your symptoms?

Lifestyle changes can be overwhelming and complex, but I am here to guide you on your journey back to health.

My clients have often been frustrated by the medical system and are looking to do things differently. In my practice, I offer deep clinical knowledge and powerful personal insight. I help women heal their brains and hormones naturally so that they can get their mood, energy, and mojo back. With my unique tools and proven methods, we figure out how things got jacked up in the first place instead of just throwing a bandaid on the problem or playing “kick the can” with symptoms. And bodies actually heal, so women can start living the badass lives they were designed for.

Or maybe you don’t quite know, and you need help cutting through the clutter of information and misinformation. Or perhaps you've got bigger things going on. You have unexplained symptoms or just know you don't feel "right" but are told that's every is ok. Or maybe told you can just take a pill for it, but you don't want to.

My name is Irini and I am a health, nutrition, & natural living expert. As co-founder of The Body Healer, I have over 20 years of experience understanding mind/body medicine and how to both physically and emotionally detoxify. I will teach you how to both prevent and heal naturally from chronic diseases. I'm the author of the best seller "The Body Healer Protocol: Heal Your Body & Transform Your Life with High Vibrational Living." I also teach that we are all creators of our own reality, and it is only our limited perceptions and beliefs that prevent us from achieving our infinite potential to creating the life of our dreams.

I help my patients achieve results by addressing the root causality to their health concerns. I use an 80 marker blood test I designed with Quest Diagnostics to determine nutrient deficiency, toxic exposure, hormone imbalances, Immune and Neurological deficits as well as to address stress and lifestyle changes. I PROVIDE REAL SOLUTIONS TO REAL HEALTH PROBLEMS. As we age, weight loss becomes increasingly more difficult. The body is holding onto weight to protect nerves, organs, and brain from toxic exposure. By addressing these issues, the patient will live a pain free, medication free, disease free, vibrant and energetic life.

Integrative Clinical nutrition is based on a scientific, evidence-based approach that considers the uniqueness of each person's biochemical individuality, in conjunction with genetic, environmental , lifestyle, mental, emotional, spiritual and relationship factors that impact the state of health.

You know how eating can be so confusing because maybe you have dieted for most of your life and you don't know how or what or how much to eat? Maybe you fear food or gaining weight and nutrition in the media makes it MORE confusing. I can help you eat with confidence and freedom and move on to live your life!

Are you struggling to make healthy choices? I too found it difficult to pass up the sugar in lieu of something "green" and/or "healthy." It took me many baby steps of meeting many small health goals over time to succeed.

We will breakdown your needs and health issues into measurable, achievable steps. We will meet your health needs head on, but in manageable "to do" lists. Come work with me to explore root causes to your discomfort and dis-ease. I work with clients in person and via Zoom.
