Many women come to us after years of trying different diets, supplements, workout programs, and wellness trends without finding lasting answers. They may have been told their lab work is “normal,” offered quick-fix solutions that didn’t address the bigger picture, or left feeling frustrated by symptoms that continue to affect their daily lives.
At Wild Muse Wellness, we take a different approach.
Rather than focusing solely on individual symptoms, we look at how the body’s systems work together. Digestive health, blood sugar balance, stress resilience, sleep quality, nutrient status, hormone function, and lifestyle habits are all interconnected. When one area is struggling, it often creates ripple effects throughout the body.
That’s why every client begins with a comprehensive assessment process. We take the time to understand your health history, current symptoms, goals, lifestyle, and daily habits. One of the tools we use is the Nutritional Assessment Questionnaire (NAQ), which helps us identify patterns and uncover potential areas of imbalance that may otherwise go unnoticed.
The NAQ isn’t designed to diagnose disease. Instead, it provides valuable insight into how your body is functioning and where additional support may be needed. By evaluating symptom patterns across multiple body systems, we can create a personalized roadmap tailored to your unique needs rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach.
Throughout your time in the 1:1 Root Cause Program, we’ll continue monitoring your progress using objective measures, symptom tracking, and ongoing assessments. This allows us to celebrate wins, identify areas that still need support, and make strategic adjustments as your body responds.
Our goal isn’t simply to help you manage symptoms. It’s to help you better understand your body, build sustainable habits, and create a foundation for long-term wellness. While every client’s journey is different, many women experience improvements in energy, digestion, mood, sleep, hormone balance, metabolism, and overall quality of life as they address the underlying factors contributing to their health concerns.
The results below showcase examples of symptom improvements tracked through our assessment process and demonstrate what can happen when a personalized wellness plan is designed to support the body as a whole.
This is the method we built from that experience. And the approach we bring to every woman we work with.
Every client begins their wellness journey with a comprehensive assessment process designed to help us understand the bigger picture of their health. One of the tools we use is the Nutritional Assessment Questionnaire (NAQ), which helps identify patterns in symptoms and highlights potential areas of imbalance that may need support.
The NAQ is just one piece of the puzzle. Depending on your needs, we may also utilize Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA), a non-invasive test that provides insight into mineral balance, stress patterns, and metabolic trends, as well as Functional Blood Work Analysis, which looks beyond standard reference ranges to identify subtle imbalances and opportunities for optimization.
These tools are never viewed in isolation. We use the information gathered from the NAQ, HTMA, and Functional Blood Work alongside your unique health concerns, wellness goals, lifestyle habits, nutrition, health history, and daily routines to gain a deeper understanding of your individual needs. By looking at all of these factors together, we’re able to create a personalized plan designed specifically to help you achieve your goals and support long-term wellness. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, we focus on uncovering and addressing the underlying factors that may be contributing to your symptoms.
The graphs below showcase real client NAQ results and highlight reductions in symptom scores over time. While every individual’s journey is unique, these results demonstrate the meaningful progress that can occur when personalized recommendations are tailored to the whole person, not just their symptoms.
Frequently Asked Questions
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.
We use functional testing (blood work, HTMAs, and GI map, etc.), 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.

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 our 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.
