MEET ERIKA - Functional Dietitian & Gut health expert

I thrive on helping people connect with their bodies, feel their absolute best, and get the real answers they've been looking for.

Tired of Band-Aid solutions for your symptoms? I hear ya.

Over the years, countless dermatologists told me I would have to live with itchy, cracked skin from eczema. My only hope was to soothe the symptoms with topical creams. But using these creams only served to weaken my skin even more. If I skipped a couple days, my eczema came right back. SO frustrating.

I get it. You feel stuck. Being told that everything is “normal”…despite the fact that you feel anything but normal? It’s the worst.

But I’m here to tell you: Suffering in your body is NOT normal. There’s a reason why you feel the way you do, and I am obsessed with getting to the bottom of it.

Because finding the root causes for your most troubling gut issues is the fastest and most successful way to achieve life-changing results.

I was unable to find a solution for my eczema using the conventional route, so I immersed myself in learning all things functional medicine and nutrition (something that unfortunately isn’t part of traditional RD training). I underwent stool testing, discovered some unexpected imbalances, and started working through them. By doing that, I was able to heal my skin naturally. It was a genuine ah-ha moment for me.

There is power in good gut health – for our overall health, and not just for solving digestive issues.

I started my career in more conventional/clinical settings. While I enjoyed the complexity of working in an ICU and providing nutrition support to patients, I knew that this wasn’t why I became a dietitian. I wanted to help people BEFORE they got so sick they landed in the ICU. Also, my experience with eczema ignited my desire to help people heal with the root cause approach. So I set out to open a private practice that would help people TRULY heal.

And I’m proud that I have been able to do just that – what I set out to do. It’s the most rewarding experience to work alongside someone on a health journey to feeling better than they ever imagined possible and reclaiming their life.

Why I do what I do:

to empower you with the answers you’ve been looking for
to clear the confusion around nourishing your unique body
to show you that nutrition doesn’t have to be stress-inducing
to help you connect with your body in new and amazing ways
to guide you down a path to feeling your absolute best
to make it easy for you to enjoy eating again

Testimonials

Absolutely more than 5 stars. I started working with Erika because of a long-term, chronic digestive [undiagnosed] issue. I was attracted to her business because she talked about getting to the ROOT of the cause. Something I’ve been trying to do for 18 years. From the start, she was so respectful and kind about what I was going through and had quick answers because she had me do immediate testing so we could dive right in to my specific symptoms, causes, and solutions. Erika is a true professional and has played an imperative roll in my quest for recovering. My energy levels, chronic symptoms, and all the mental challenges that come with that have all but disappeared. And with Erikas support and knowledge, I have an excellent blueprint moving forward for my long term health. I know what to do if I have a flare. I know what mind shifts I need to have in my tool kit so that I can make positive and healthy decisions. Recommend 100 out of 10!

"I struggled with gas and skin rashes for many years. I’ve seen multiple dermatologists who only recommended steroid creams, and I never could figure out what was causing my gas. However, after the testing that Erika recommended, I finally understood the cause of my symptoms. Within a couple of months of the diet changes and supplement protocol she recommended, my skin rashes are nearly gone, and my digestion is the best it’s ever been. Erika clearly explained everything to me and supported me every step of the way. I highly recommend working with her!"

"My experience with Erika has been incredible. Before working with Erika, I struggled with heartburn, bloating, irregular bowel movements, and significant swelling and joint pain from arthritis, to the point that walking was painful and my rings no longer fit. After learning the connection between gut health and arthritis, I decided to work with Erika. The stool testing she recommended helped uncover clear issues that were contributing to my well-being. The nutrition, supplement protocols, and lifestyle changes she suggested have been so impactful. As a result, my digestive issues are GONE! No more bloating or heartburn, and I now have regular, daily BMs! Best of all, my swelling and joint paint are significantly better, and it’s only been a few months! I feel I have my life back again. Thank you Erika!"

I suffered from unexplained bloating, indigestion, and feeling sluggish, so I went to Erika to improve my gut health, diet, & lifestyle. Erika explained my test results to me clearly and with no rush. My biggest hesitation was that I would be regimented into a strict diet with no pleasure in eating. Instead, Erika provided me with a broad spectrum of nutrition guidelines and gave me steps to change my lifestyle slowly. As a result, I've gained confidence in knowing how to eat for my body. After a month, I started feeling lighter from my sluggishness. My bloating and indigestion are gone! Erika is very patient, remains available, and genuinely wants her clients to see her clients reach their health goals!
