Hi I am Sara!
I am a Nature Girl and Health Crisis Survivor. I am a Quiet Peaceful Surfer, Mountain Lover, and Desert Wildflower Finder. I believe in cross-training and feeling free and God. I can help you put the puzzle of chronic symptoms together and to guide you to find solutions. I am happy you found us to help you restore your health!
Food as Medicine is My Passion
I am a Functional Nutrition Practitioner and Registered Dietitian. I help guide my clients with the same passion while we find the root causes of being unwell. Don’t let anyone tell you “it’s all in your head!” Its not. I know how to take the steps to heal because I did it for myself. I am here to listen and dig deep with you to find the root causes to your symptoms. There is a gap in conventional medicine between your symptoms and finding the root cause, and I am here to help you bridge that gap.
We live in an informational rich world that is at our fingertips and my goal is to help you use that information wisely. I don’t want you to spend years trying to search for the puzzle pieces to becoming well. Are you ready?
Our practice takes you from just surviving to beyond conventional medicine to teaming up with functional nutritional tools into a thriving lifestyle of restorative health. If you are ready to change the course of your health, R.A.I.N. is the place for you!
“Optimal nutritional and mental health and vitality always point back to moving your body outside in the sun and eating as close to the natural state as possible.”
