Most people know they should be trying to live a healthier life, but need support getting there. Health is not just a lack of dis-ease, it 's about love, vitality, balance, purpose and joy. I can help you find you all that PLUS your 5 By 5 Health Equation™.     

After having my gallbladder removed, I struggled with many digestive problems. Allopathic medicine only offered pharmaceuticals (along with many side effects) to treat this. I declined, and instead began rebuilding my digestive and immune systems through a focus on my inner ecology, a healthy diet, and stress reduction.

We help you get well and STAY well by focusing on clinical nutrition, functional medicine, and body science to help determine the root cause of dis-ease in the body. You will learn to become an active participant in achieving and maintaining your good health. My team and I also run group holistic health programs, and present lectures on various health and wellness topics. We love spreading the word about good health!

Dainna also holds a Bachelor of Science degree from Adelphi University and is certified by the American Association of Drugless Practitioners. Drawing on this knowledge, we will help you create a completely personalized “road map to health” that suits your unique body, lifestyle, preferences, and goals.

As a Functional Medicine Nutritionist & Lifestyle Practitioner, I will teach you how to look through the lenses of both lifestyle and nutrition, so you can learn how to heal your health yourself. I believe that "dis-ease" is an imbalance. When we learn how to bring the balance back into our body, then we can turn illness into wellness.

Kelly is energized by supporting clients to regain their health through sustainable food and lifestyle changes and discover how good they can feel in their body. Inspired by the discovery while homeschooling her children that simply changing the food they ate reversed her son’s ADD, Kelly began to explore nutrition. When the last of her children graduated, she embarked on a journey of formal training in integrative and functional nutrition. Since each of our bodies is unique, she bases her approach with each client on their individual needs, coming alongside them to educate them and guide them in exploring ways to nourish their body using both food and non-food sources.
