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.

  • I feel better than ever and truly did not think it was possible to feel this good. I am beyond thankful and grateful!!! You should never feel guilty about investing in yourself and personal wellness when that is our biggest asset in life. I cannot say enough great things… Autumn truly changed my life!

    Lauren

  • Fast forward to now, I am off the PPIs, thriving, and my blood pressure also went down! My body feels like a new person, but I also have a new arsenal of knowledge to deal with different things. It was actually a lot easier than I thought it would be, and the best money I have ever spent.

    Amanda

  • 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

  • With in a couple weeks of working with Autumn my anxiety went from a 7 or 8 to a 2 and my PMDD went away. I have learned so many things that have done WONDERS for my gut, my blood sugar and overall mental health.  I'm excited to keep using all of my new tools for the rest of my life.

    Alexis

  • After finding Autumn on instagram I decided to stop trying to treat my acne with expensive chemical peels and my bloating by DIYing my health. After our first initial call I felt so excited and supported working with Autumn. She has an amazing relaxed and non-judgmental vibe about her. She is all about education and empowerment when it comes to food and nourishing your body.

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).
