Hi, I’m Debbie!
I am a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner who is passionate about helping people reclaim their lives through nutrition and natural health strategies. I utilize nutritional assessment, homeopathy, and personalized protocols to get to the root cause of what’s happening in your body and give you the tools you need to fix it. I received my training through the Nutritional Therapy Association and also have a master’s degree and bachelor’s degree.
My journey began with a relentless pursuit to help my son overcome his many chronic health conditions. Success with my son and my burden to help others reclaim their health led to a career change for me. From my personal experience, I can say that REAL results are possible and you can get better with the right guidance and support. Nutrition is the foundation of health and there is no real healing or ability to maintain long-term health without it. Eating real, nutrient dense, properly prepared, whole food is essential for healing from all health conditions. True health is not possible without providing the body the nutrients it needs.
My Philosophy & Beliefs
Nutrition is the foundation of health. Simply put, you can not achieve the health you want if you are not committing yourself to a nutrient dense diet to nourish your body. Why? Our body needs nutrients for essential biochemical processes. Every cell, tissue and organ in your body depends on nutrients to function properly. Symptoms and disease begin with nutritional deficiencies. Eating real, nutrient dense, properly prepared, whole food is essential for healing from all health conditions. True health is not possible without providing the body the nutrients it needs.
Nutrition, lifestyle and natural/holistic approaches should be the 1st line treatment for health care. Why? Because they work, they support the body with what it REALLY needs for the short and long-term and they do not cause harm. Conventional medicine is not your only option and let’s be honest, it does not offer hope for true health and wellness. It is a model based on eliminating symptoms instead of addressing the root cause. We are not sick as a culture because we are deficient in pharmaceutical drugs, we are sick because our bodies are not getting the nourishment and care they need. Conventional medicine is not about the pursuit of true health, it is about disease management.
The pursuit of health is so we can live out our God-given potential and purpose in this world. There are so many people who are not living their lives, engaging in their relationships, or pursuing their dreams to their full potential BECAUSE of chronic health conditions. People’s lives are falling apart due to deteriorating physical and mental health and it dominates their lives. Commit yourself to the pursuit of true health so that you can be your best self and live out the future you want for yourself and others.
You don’t have to live with it…most sickness and chronic health conditions are optional. The majority of all symptoms and diseases are “man-made” and can be greatly improved or eliminated completely. Even conditions that you thought were hopeless, think again. When you provide your body what it needs to heal, it can heal. Respect your body the way it was designed and provide it what it needs. That is why is my nutrition consulting practice is named, “Created for Wellness Nutritional Therapy”. God created us for wellness, not dysfunction, sickness and disease. Let’s get you on your healing path.

My Story
My career path turn a took when my son was born in 2006. I was desperate to help my son overcome his many “incurable” health conditions and started down a path of serious research and study of nutrition and natural health. It is an understatement to say that I have been relentless in my pursuit of healing for him. And it has paid off. My son now has freedom from his chronic health conditions, a future without limitations and the ability to live life and be his true self that wouldn’t have been possible. I believe that every child deserves to have a shot at their future and not be held back by poor health. The best part is that I have seen my real child emerge, knowing that all we have done for him will forever make a difference with who he is, what he can achieve and how he can give back to the world. My son was not the only one who benefited from this knowledge. My daughter, my husband and I each had our own set of health issues that we have overcome through nutrition, homeopathy and natural health strategies.
As a result of all that I have been through with my son, I knew that God was calling me to take on a new career of helping people reclaim their health and lives. I was determined to use the experience and knowledge and not let it go to waste. Given all the knowledge that I had gained and various paths (aka rabbit holes) we went down in helping our son, I became more and more aware of how many people around me were also dealing with chronic, debilitating health problems, diseases and disorders. It seemed wherever I went, I would encounter people in similar situations – feeling hopeless, uneducated and not knowing where to turn. I would end up sharing information or help them find a healing path and realized that this is what I needed to do for my career moving forward. There were many options in the realm of natural health, but I kept coming back to nutrition and decided to pursue a formal education in it. Nutrition is the foundation of health and there is no real healing or ability to maintain long-term health without it. Eating real, nutrient dense, properly prepared, whole food is essential for healing from all health conditions. True health is not possible without providing the body the nutrients it needs.
You may be wondering what health conditions my family has been able to overcome. I will start with my son since he was the driving force for the change. Often times, people look at their struggles and see them as negative. I see them as an opportunity for change, to learn and make ourselves better. I tell my son that his health challenges “saved” our family and helped us make a 180 degree turn with how we live so that we could each overcome our health issues and be able to live life to the fullest. Let me take you through his story and then I will fill you in on the rest of us.
