Life’s too short to be gaslit by a system that dismissively treats your symptoms instead of reversing your condition. For real change, we need to get at the root cause. 

Bring Us Your Toughest Challenges

There is no such thing as "too complicated" for us. Please—give us the challenge. We are ready for you. There is no symptom too big, no diagnosis too complex, no case we consider “too far gone.”

We are the people you turn to when both conventional and functional medicine have failed you. When other practitioners have said, “we’re not sure what to do,” we step in and say, “we’ve got this.”

We specialize in supporting highly sensitive bodies—those navigating MCAS, Long COVID, POTS, and more. We welcome complexity with a smile. We see patterns where others see chaos.

No matter how far you’ve come or how many doors have closed on you, there is still a path forward—and we’re honored to help you walk it.

Through my time working with Nicki I've seen incredible improvements in both my digestion, physical strength,
and energy.

I came to Nicki after an episode of constant canker sores that at times were debilitating and I didn't know what to do. After our first conversation, Nicki helped to identify that this was a gut issue and immediately recommended I address my acidity issues through better nutrition and supplementation. After just a few days I already started to see a difference and my acidity issues have been 1000% times better! 

From a fitness standpoint Nicki has helped me to understand how I can continue to promote my goal of gaining more strength in the gym as well as better recover from training. Her strategies and nutrition plan have helped me to see serious progress at the gym.

Ultimately, working with Michelle has given me a greatly elevated state of health.

Before I met Michelle, I realized I didn’t really know how to eat. There’s so much conflicting information and it’s hard to interpret one thing from another. My body wasn’t responding in terms of health and vitality. I needed someone to help me unravel layer after layer of things that needed to be addressed.

As soon as I met with Michelle, I felt supported. She is the ultimate guru—around nutrition and food, yes. But she’s a big advocate for her patients as individuals too. There were some challenging parts of my journey. But I felt heard. I had this safe environment to say anything and everything she did was totally customized to me. There is no one size fits all. She takes a very caring, centred approach to make sure what she advises is going to gel with you.

Ultimately, working with Michelle has given me a greatly elevated state of health. I have a deep understanding now of how the body works. She also helps me connect to other healthcare providers if it’s ever needed.

There are days where we meet and our conversation isn’t really about food. It’s about the support and understanding. I feel like she’s part of my family. She’s a trusting guide, partner, and a safe space. She’s a true advocate.

This has been the most interesting nutritionist I have worked with to date.

 I have learned so much that has helped so far and I can't wait to see how much more I learn by the end of my time with Nicki. I am complex and have a lot of medical issues. The biggest thing I have learned is to focus on my rest and digest first before we get into the food. I am glad she has the knowledge to help me and not give up on me. I am finding happiness and joy for the first time in a long time!

Suzzette W.

I was surprise to gain so much from my time with Nicki.

I have a much more balanced and emotionally healthy relationship with my eating habits. I also learned some useful tips for eating healthy when I don’t have a lot of time or I am traveling. I have a better understanding of how to get enough protein and when I should be eating to optimize my energy and health goals.

Stacy T.

I am so much better at managing stress and listening to my body and being ok with slowing down.

I had been in a place of over treating, kill protocols and chronic fatigue. It was time for me to change the narrative but I wasn't sure how. Sarah really helped me do that with a battle plan that took into consideration every single aspect of slowing down, reducing stress and healing.

I really leaned in to the recommendations and through our sessions was able to find out what best worked for me. I looked forward to our sessions, Sarah was so pleasant and held space in such an empathetic and supportive way. 

Sarah M.

I am SO glad I went on this journey with Nicki!

I learned that "health" isn't just about food - it's about habits, self-love, movement, and so much more. I've gained SO much knowledge from this experience not only about food, but also about myself.

Before the program, I was eating high sugar, high carb, low protein, and low fiber; now, I eat less sugar, more protein, AND more fiber - AND I work out three times a week! I truly couldn't have done this without Nicki's support! I would recommend this program to anyone struggling with eating, IBS, or just learning healthy habits.
