Hi 👋🏻, I’m Autumn and this is my 16 year old girl, Maxie

I help people with gut, hormone and energy issues find out why it’s happening, not just what to take for it.

Over the past 6+ years, I’ve worked with over 400 clients, most of them referrals. Happy clients send their best friends, parents, cousins, roommates and partners my way to experience root-cause healing.

Here’s how it all started: for most of my adult life, I dealt with bloating, food reactions, heartburn, fatigue, and brutally painful periods. Every doctor told me it was “normal.” Normal was not the word I’d use.

Nutritional therapy and functional testing finally showed me the root causes. Within months my digestion, energy, and hormones turned around, and I got off hormonal birth control (after 20 years !!). My body wasn't broken. Nobody had looked closely enough.

So I became the person who looks.

Today I work with clients who are done hearing their labs are "fine." I use testing your doctor typically won’t order (GI MAP, DUTCH, HTMA) and build protocols around your body, not a template.

what clients are saying

  • "This is the best I have ever felt in my life. And after a lifelong struggle with severe gut problems leading me to so many different Dr's with a number of testings and procedures, I have to say Autumn was able to offer me something no one else has been able to."

    Zan

  • "Prior to working with Autumn, I was the girl who constantly had to carry tums, pepto and ginger candies in my bag... Autumn has helped me develop a supplement plan that allows my body to function properly and most importantly, she has taught me the tools to really listen to what my body needs and wants. I cannot recommend Autumn enough."

    Katelynn

  • "Working with Autumn changed my life. I had been suffering from debilitating stomach symptoms for nearly 10 years and had tried just about everything... Today, I feel like myself again, and I am forever grateful to Autumn for helping me get my health and my life back."

    Bethany

  • "Working with Autumn was not only incredibly helpful in getting answers and creating a plan that would help me feel better, but also incredibly validating. For so many years, I questioned whether my symptoms and what I was experiencing were all in my head after trying to find answers with my doctors and getting nowhere."

    Nicole

  • To say working with Autumn has been life changing is an understatement. I originally reached out to her because I was struggling with acid reflux but quickly realized she was going to help me with so much more. I was also struggling with lack of motivation, fatigue, bloating, stomach pain, etc. Within the first couple of months I could feel a difference with not only my reflux but all my symptoms. Autumn is a true gem and is SO knowledgeable.

    Alyssa

  • "Working with Autumn has been equal parts therapy, friendship and nutrition... and worth every dime! With her advice, I have eliminated my afternoon slumps, decreased my acne, and kicked my addiction to caffeine."

FAQs

  • I am unable to accept insurance, but many HSA and FSA plans will allow you to use your funds for my services. Check with your provider to see if holistic health services are covered.

  • Yes! You always have the option to add on additional testing. I have access to a whole catalog of functional tests.

  • I lean more into supporting your body with nutrient dense, whole, therapeutic foods. I have never incorporated the low FODMAP diet in my practice.

    At times, we may have to remove certain foods for a short period of time to allow for more efficient healing.

  • I can, but I have never had to. The GI MAP has markers that can give us direction on SIBO + we will always take your symptoms into consideration when putting together your protocol

    Ultimately, we will be addressing the root cause of SIBO in the first place anyway as well!

  • I offer payment plans for all of my full programs and you may also be able to use HSA or FSA funds (check with your provider).
