I consulted with Christi on the phone after months of tummy troubles, lethargy and a mysterious weight gain. Christi was very patient, extremely helpful, and talked me through the affects of a possible food allergy. She suggested I try removing gluten and dairy from my diet. I couldn’t bare the thought of parting with yogurt, so she suggested I try gluten first. She even offered recipes and other tips to make it easy. 2 months later I am back to my usual state of energy, have no tummy troubles and have lost 10 lbs without even trying. I highly recommend Christi’s expertise!

Christi is professional, knowledgeable, and above all passionate. I went to Christi after trying a few different ways to teach my goals. She reviewed my food journal and made her recommendations. She is supportive and takes her time with you! I’m happy to say I’ve reached my goals but most importantly I learned new healthy ways to eat and recipes to cook! I heart Christi! Thank you!

Christi is a wizard. I wish I could make all the people I care about consult with her. I’ve been working with Christi for five months. I had always believed I was in fairly good shape, I run a lot, but now Christi has taken my game to a new level. I’ve lost an additional 10lbs(that I had hitherto believed was impossible), have more energy, my blood pressure – always a very chronic problem for me – is finally dropping, workout recovery times are down… most importantly, I just feel great! My diet is totally different than it was six months ago, but I absolutely love what I’m eating now. More important than her professionalism and knowledge is her patience and genuine willingness to help. Working with her doesn’t feel like a typical«client-consultant» relationship, it feels more like a partnership working to hack your problems. Even now when I consult formally with Christi less, she always answers my emails promptly with very thoughtful and well-researched ideas and always follows up with more guidance and to see how things are going. I LOVE it. This service is worth 10x the price.

Christi has changed my life! Okay, now that I’ve got that out of my system, I can begin. I’m a total foodie. Not the kind that eats out all the time, but the kind that LOVES yummy, nourishing food and likes to be in the kitchen all day. I really thought I had this food thing down until I heard Christi talking with my mom about food, nutrition, how the body should work, and just getting into the details. I had no idea how much more there was to learn about tinctures, hormone balancing, liver supporting, and so many more topics. With Christi’s support, I was back in my pre-prego skinny jeans just 6 months after my son was born, and I’m pretty sure I’m going to be slimmer than before! She also helped us find out that my husband had leaky gut(means that most of what he was eating was hurting him by leaking into his blood stream, even though the food was normally nourishing, yikes!). He has now healed under her guidance and can eat most anything he wants. If you have any issues like celiac disease, Crohn’s, IBS, menopause, sensitive teeth, WHATEVER, Christi will help you find a good solution that works with YOUR body and YOUR lifestyle. And if you think you don’t have any problems? She’ll educate you on ways to optimize your health. This is the cheapest way to be healthy. Everyone buys food/supplements, don’t you want to know that what you’re spending your money on is good for YOUR body?

Working with Christi has been an amazing experience. From simple, practical tips to help improve my distance running, to her incredibly helpful advice during my pregnancy, I would recommend her to anyone who wants knowledgable, caring and individually-tailored holistic nutrition support. True Story: during the final month of my pregnancy, I was diagnosed with a liver malfunction that my doctor and all the internet resources I could find said was irreversible unless I gave birth. Also, the liver condition was harmful to the fetus and thus, said the doctors and the internet, «we need to get him out soon.» This would have meant having labor induced, but I was devastated by the idea that I’d be given induction stimulants when I’d been hoping that our son would be born drug-free. Christi suggested trying a number of natural ways to heal my liver– all of them inexpensive and using natural foods and herbs, WIthin a week, my blood tests went from highly elevated liver enzymes and dangerous levels of bile salts to completely normal and low/no risk. Christi’s well-studied yet gentle support for ongoing health as well as medical emergencies is as good as it gets!
