NTP, CFT, BS @ Wellness Changer

Food as medicine paired with physical movement to heal the body

Transforming your health is so much more than a diet. It requires a lifestyle transition with optimal digestion and bodily function. A Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP) identifies possible nutrient deficiencies using functional evaluation, palpation, clinical assessment tools, inquiry, and the Nutri-Q software. A NTP develops an individualized plan for each client’s unique needs. The human body has an amazing ability to restore wellness when supported with the raw materials necessary to function at its optimal potential. A RESTART instructor will work with a group in education, sugar detox, and camaraderie to meet weight management goals. Improvements can be seen in:​

Digestion & Sugar Handling
Allergy & Immune function
Endocrine Issues
Cardiovascular Health
Inflammation
Mood
Vitality
Weight Management

Reiki Master and Meditation Guide @ Katie Pitcher Reiki

Katie specializes in anxiety, depression and corporate burnout. While she is trained in trauma-informed Reiki, due to her background in corporate, Katie is intimately familiar with the stressors of that lifestyle. Having personally experienced burnout, Reiki and meditation saved her from it.

Reiki is something that can calm anxieties and relieve the stress of everyday life. As for emotional healing, Reiki can help with that, too. Emotions may arise as past traumas are released, but Katie will be there supporting you. Reiki is also known to help with physical pain.
