Always try to use fresh, local ingredients.
My name is Laureen Wallravin and I’m a Certified Nutritional Therapist. I work to balance and heal the body through a diet based on real food as well as lifestyle and environment. My goal is to help you achieve permanent positive lifestyle changes that cultivate optimal whole body wellness. Food has been used to heal for centuries with the belief that food is our medicine and our medicine is our food. Somewhere along the line, we have forgotten this. Our bodies are an amazing mechanism with an innate intelligence capable of self-healing. If we feed it the proper nutrients, vitamins, and minerals we can live long and, more importantly, healthy and happy lives.
I also offer Functional Testing for the hormone, digestive, detoxification, and immune systems to get to the root cause of any underlying issues you may have as well as food sensitivity testing.
