Heal from the root,
not just the symptoms.
Gut health, inflammation, hormones, stress, hydration, and sleep show up in how you feel every day. We look at the whole picture to discover what your body is really asking for.
"Everyone is unique, everything is connected, and all things matter."
— Andrea Nakayama (with Laurie)FNLP Intensive
Your body is an interconnected ecosystem.
Whether you struggle with daily fatigue, digestive issues, hormonal shifts, or stubborn stress, isolating a single symptom rarely delivers lasting relief.

Root-Cause Investigation
Instead of masking discomfort, we analyze health history, dietary habits, stress, and lifestyle factors to pinpoint where internal imbalances originate.
HTMA Mineral Insights
Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis provides a non-invasive window into long-term mineral ratios, heavy metal exposure, metabolic rate, and stress response.
Sustainable Lifestyle Habits
No extreme fad diets or rigid restriction. We educate and equip you with practical meal design, hydration, movement, and stress support tailored to your life.
What is Functional Nutrition?
Functional nutrition is a root-cause, whole-person approach to wellness. Rather than focusing on a single symptom, we look at how your diet, lifestyle, stress, sleep, environment, and history all interact to shape how you feel each day. Every body is different, so every plan is built around you.
We investigate each case to find the root cause
Instead of masking discomfort, we dig into your health history, eating patterns, symptoms, and lifestyle to uncover where imbalances actually begin. Together we trace the threads connecting your digestion, energy, hormones, and stress, so the recommendations we make address the source, not just the surface.
Nutrition
Practical, bio-individual food and meal guidance.
Lifestyle

Testing

We can often act as a liaison between you and your physician, helping you translate lab results, prepare thoughtful questions, and coordinate your wellness plan alongside your medical care, so nothing falls through the cracks.
What we don't do
We do not prescribe medications or provide medical diagnoses. Our role is educational and supportive, recommending nutrition, lifestyle, supplementation, and testing, including blood work, to complement, not replace, your medical provider.

Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA)

- Heavy Metal Screen: Identify potential burden from copper, mercury, aluminum, or lead.
- Targeted Recommendations: Stop guessing with random supplements and nourish your body precisely.
What HTMA Can Reveal
Metabolic Speed
Are you a fast or slow oxidizer? See how your cells convert fuel into energy.
Adrenal Stress
See how chronic daily stress has impacted essential minerals like magnesium and sodium.
In Their Own Words
Laurie has worked hard to obtain the knowledge and the certification she has, but it is readily evident how much she loves the work and understands the connections between different body systems and the food we eat. She starts heirloom seeds in her greenhouse and then transplants them outdoors to eliminate many of the contaminants from commercial growers. She grows her own herbs in addition to growing and canning vegetables.
She is always positive and encouraging and understands the great need for this work. She is patient, professional and kind. She is an excellent listener and a great communicator. Laurie never does anything halfway—she is an “all-in” type of person who has the energy, determination, and desire to help others.
