Hi, I’m Tonya RN, CFNC
My awakening to the power of self-healing began while I was in my nursing education. I got sick and the medical professionals that I believed could fix anything could not help me resolve my health issues. I was in chronic pain, on repeated rounds of antibiotics, and struggling with other health issues that I managed with more medications. My body was screaming at me and my intuition was telling me there had to be another way.
My healing journey wasn’t linear (it never is) but through slowing down and developing trust in my body, I made the changes to my diet and lifestyle that my body was calling me to make. It was not quick or easy. Growing up I (like most) was not taught to listen to the language of my body. I was going through life detached from my body, never making the connections of how my living/eating/thinking/moving was impacting my well-being. I had no idea about nourishment. My food intake was only about calories in and calories out.
As an RN and Functional Nutrition Coach, I want to empower people to take their health into their own hands, to understand how the body works, why their symptoms are showing up, and what they can do every single day to bring health and vibrancy back into their lives. I want people to understand how to nourish their bodies so they can feed their cells and have the energy to do the things that they love. I also want people to feel seen, heard, and supported as unique individuals, not their diagnosis.
If you are ready to learn how to heal yourself please reach out to book a complementary 30 Minute Clarity Call with me. We will talk about you, where you are in your journey, and how you will benefit from support from a Functional Nutrition Coach.
