Prior to working with Johanna I had terrible PMDD and painful periods both of which now have become either unnoticeable or more manageable. I have immense gratitude for the care Johanna gave me. Not only is she clearly passionate and knowledgeable about her work, but she is realistic and non-judgemental in her approach. Her utilization of HTMA, blood tests, and questionnaires to assess symptoms was the first time I felt like a practitioner truly cared to get to know me - literally inside and out. Johanna set me up for success with small, incremental changes in diet and hydration which yielded amazing results. I no longer struggle with intense PMS symptoms, I’m way less anxious, and have reduced my use of pain meds during my period. As I continue to practice the plan she worked on with me, I expect my symptoms to get even better.
I'm absolutely amazed at what her [Johanna's] insight and skill have made in my life, health and overall well-being. The practices she's had me implement have been relatively easy and have made a world of difference...and not one of them was ever suggested by any other practitioner! I no longer need a nap, caffeine or sugar at 3:00pm everyday to feel alive. I've recently noticed I don't crave sugar anymore which I've struggled with for years. Hormones are balancing, energy to work out is coming back. Feeling like myself again after a very long time. I recommend everyone I know to Johanna that is struggling with their health. She's been such a blessing in my life and she will be in yours too if you allow her the opportunity to help you.
I am thankfully on my journey to overall healing with her [Johanna's] knowledge and care. I would recommend anyone to use her whether it’s infertility, PCOS, hormonal health, or just overall health. If she doesn't know the answer, she will do everything she can for you to figure it out while giving a completely different approach than most people see these days. She genuinely does care for your overall health and wellbeing, and after one consultation, you will see the value in her... My biggest recommendation I have for others is to USE HER! She’s such a wealth of knowledge, and her approach and care makes her feel like a friend, which makes the process way more enjoyable.
I can’t recommend Johanna enough. She is patient, kind, fun, caring, determined, and just overall such a gem to work with. Johanna helped me make small changes that didn’t feel overwhelming and within 4 weeks my hormones were already improving and my digestive issues were going away. Johanna takes so much time with each session and checks in regularly. Even after my program has ended we’ve stayed in touch and she has been so supportive.
Before meeting Katrina, I was experiencing a lot of fatigue, bloating, and overall low energy. Now I've felt my body recovering and reaching a solid baseline again. My bloat went down and I experienced less dips in energy throughout the day. Katrina taught me how to properly nourish my body - now I experience consistent energy levels and have been able to start walking again (before I barely had any excess energy). I feel confident about the meals I make and know how to cook for nourishment. I overall just feel more aware and in control of my health. I had a wonderful experience working with Katrina. If you're thinking about scheduling with her, do it!
After working with Johanna I felt prepared to go into my next pregnancy knowing how to nourish my body, and prepared better for postpartum. I literally could not believe how little protein I was eating compared to how much Johanna recommended, and how that immediately helped. Previously, my cycle was very short and I had horrible fatigue, but almost immediately after implementing her advice my energy and cycle improved. I appreciated that she customized the care I needed based on my background knowledge. She gave me concrete advice that was easy to follow, every time we communicated I felt like I understood the plan and was able to implement change right away.
Before working one on one with Katrina, I was having stomach aches, fatigue, headaches, low appetite, and intense menstrual cycle symptoms. After working with Katrina I feel my energy levels are much more consistent and my headaches and stomach aches are less frequent. Overall I feel much more balanced and energized in my daily life! Before I started meeting with Katrina I was in a pretty stressful season and having a lot of anxiety. Making some adjustments has made a world of difference for my energy levels and anxiety.
I thoroughly enjoyed working with Madi as my Nutritional Therapy Practitioner! I enjoyed the education behind what we put in our bodies and how it can affect us. After working with Madi I experienced less bloating, little to no acid reflux, and I walked away feeling informed and knowledgeable on how to properly listen to and fuel my body.
Prior to working with Johanna I had completely lost a period and was so frustrated. I now have so many answers to questions and have the tools to get a regular cycle. A big ah ha moment for me was increasing the amount that I eat and changing my style of exercise. Also adding more salt to my diet when the world tells you to have less! Working with Johanna was worth it and changed my perspective in so many ways! I hesitated spending the money on this thinking I was already healthy and ate well but I learned my body needs more than I thought. I learned a ton about what my body needs and the specific areas to focus on. Her support and knowledge is the missing link in medicine today. I feel so much better and I am very grateful!
Prior to working with Katrina I had heartburn, GI upset related to certain foods, tiredness, moderate mood fluctuations, mental health conditions, and severe menstrual symptoms. The transformation through nutrition and proper habits has been life changing for me. I no longer have GI symptoms, my mood has improved drastically, I have more energy, and for the first time since high school I am no longer needing to take birth control for the severe pain and heavy flow. I was able to discontinue the use of pharmaceuticals that often caused me side effects such as antacids, mood medications, and birth control.
Prior to working with Johanna I had serious PCOS symptoms, bad periods, cysts and 3-month periods. Now I’m currently pregnant and balancing pregnancy symptoms well! I can’t recommend Johanna enough! She is super friendly, non-judgmental and helps you make sustainable choices catered to you & your lifestyle. She has so much knowledge, but makes everything easy to understand and implement. I love her holistic approach to symptoms and non-restrictive mindset!
I cannot say enough good things about Johanna! Her knowledge of nutrition and the specific interactions in the human body is incredible. Not only that, she explains it all and gives steps to implement changes in such easy to understand ways! I recommend her to everyone. Truly everyone could benefit from working with her, and gaining sustainable tools for whole body wellness
Sophie battled unexplained infertility and abnormal menstrual cycles for three years. She experienced severe bleeding and blood clotting every month. Despite seeking medical help, healthcare providers dismissed her concerns.
“Your labs are normal.”
“Your ultrasound looks normal.”
“Sometimes this just happens after having your first baby…”
“You can go on birth control or get a hysterectomy to stop the bleeding.”
Sophie refused to give up.
Luckily, this is when our paths crossed. We began working together right away after our consultation call. During our intake session, I noticed there were some key health foundations her body needed some support in. During our time together we focused on blood sugar regulation, digestive system support, replenishing depleted nutrients, supporting her thyroid and liver through nutrition, adding targeted supplements, and incorporating stress management habits.
Within six weeks, Sophie noticed significant improvements in her sleep, mood, energy levels, and even her libido. Her fertility tracking charts began to show she was now regularly ovulating, and she experienced fertile quality cervical fluid – a crucial factor in fertility. Sophie’s periods transformed from being unbearable to normal and manageable. She even went as far as to say “pleasant”. Haha!
Since her BBT charts showed a major improvement and she began to consistently experience normal periods, her hope of having another child reignited. Today, Sophie and her husband are trying to conceive baby #2!
Sophie’s story serves as a powerful reminder that there are alternative approaches to healing, and listening to your body is essential. If you’re experiencing similar challenges, remember that it’s an opportunity to dig deeper and that there are other options out there, and taking the first step towards nourishing your body from a functional perspective might be the key to unlocking your full potential.
“I spent the last 3+ years seeking medical help for my abnormal menstrual cycles and "unexplained infertility". Almost every month, I'd pass so much blood and clots to the point of almost passing out. The doctors all said "your hormones are normal. Your ultrasound looks normal. Some people just have drastically different periods after having a baby. We can either put you on birth control or do a hysterectomy to stop the bleeding."
My gut feeling was always - something is wrong with me. Everything was not fine. I didn't want to give up on my uterus yet. I was so frustrated & desperate that none of the doctors would investigate the root cause with me ... until I found Johanna.
She was patient, understanding, caring, and confident. She was not surprised at what I've experienced, and she was the first one that told me that I'm not crazy for thinking something is wrong. We started working 1-on-1 right away and started making small changes in my food and drinks.
Johanna has been extremely supportive in my healing journey. I started experiencing normal periods the first month I started Johanna's program.
So far, I have had 3 normal cycles, and I was able to enjoy life while bleeding! My BBT charts now show major improvements in my reproductive health. My hope of having another child was back. I'm happy to say that Johanna's expertise has far exceeded my expectations, and now my husband and I are working on trying to conceive another child!”
Nutritional Therapy is a whole-body and bio-individual approach to wellness. We look beyond diet & take into consideration other factors such as sleep habits, stress levels, hydration, genetics, environment, mineral status, etc.
I use the HTMA lab, along with your answers to the Nutritional Assessment Questionnaire and other information about your health history to make recommendations for diet, supplements, and lifestyle changes that can be beneficial for addressing the root of your primary health concerns. Together we will come up with a sustainable plan to implement these changes, so you can begin feeling relief now, and in the long run.
No, in Washington State Nutritional Therapy Practitioners are not able to bill insurance. Depending on the insurance company, you may be able to use a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA) to pay for your nutritional therapy program.
Women who are ready to invest time and energy into learning how to holistically support their body, hormones, and fertility for a lifetime of wellness.
While I'd love to help everyone, sometimes a different practitioner may better suit your needs. If you fall into any of these categories, my approach will not be the best fit.
Many of my clients see many health improvements quickly, however, this is a lifelong approach to wellness that takes patience and dedication
The time commitment/package length will be based upon your health history, concerns, and goals. Together we will come up with a game plan that gets to the root of your concerns and helps you build sustainable habits for long-lasting results.
Price investment varies on package length and functional labs required. Payment plans available.
Supplements, if recommended, will be in addition to the program investment. Typically they range between $50-150, budgets will always be taken into consideration.
The Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis test is one of the most valuable screening tools available in preventative health care. It has the ability to show us our mineral status at a cellular level, which gives us a blueprint on how to reestablish nutrient balance within our body.
The price of the HTMA test will be included in your package and usually takes about 2-3 weeks to process before we can go over your results together. Taking the hair sample is easy and you can do it in your own home! You’ll simply take a small cutting of your hair, put it in an envelope I’ll mail to you, and mail it off to the lab and then they will email me the results.
Minerals are like a spark plug to every bodily function, so when our mineral levels are out of whack, they directly tie to current symptoms you might be experiencing. This test can give us insight into your thyroid and adrenal gland health, current metabolic state and stress levels, your digestive system function, and so much more!
Functional Blood Work is a highly customizable functional lab test that allows us to gather information about a variety of systems including metabolic, nutritional, endocrine, gastrointestinal, hormonal, immune, genetic, detoxification, and others.
Traditional blood work provides ranges, and if you fall within that range, then you’re considered “normal”, but it doesn’t take into consideration the whole body or the symptoms.
Functional lab testing allows us to look at the body as a whole and dig deeper when it comes to overcoming your concerns. When looking at blood work from a functional perspective, we will be looking for patterns within the numbers that can give us insights into what the root cause might be behind your health and help prevent health outcomes down the road.
