Is food making you feel poorly? Perhaps you have chronic struggles such as migraines, eczema, or diarrhea. Or maybe you're finding yourself overeating, stress eating or feeling bad about your body and how you look. You've likely tried a variety of things to solve your nutrition problems, but they haven't worked long term. You probably wish food would be more enjoyable, less work and not leave you feeling so terrible. You aren't alone. It doesn't have to be this hard. You just haven't found your solution yet.

I am a Registered Dietitian-Nutritionist and Certified Eating Disorder Specialist with over 8 years of experience. I specialize in working with clients who struggle with eating disorders, athletes looking to harness the power of nutrition without falling into obsession, those who are sick of the cycle of dieting and body hate, or anyone who is simply unsure how to fuel their body while navigating the confusing nutrition and food messaging in our society today.

Michaela is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist who practices out of Health Loft. She strongly believes that making healthy, sustainable, and nourishing choices take time and a strong partnership between the client and herself. Changes can be difficult and you need a caring partner to help you through them and make them fun. Michaela firmly stands by the idea that being healthy not only includes nutrition, but our mental and physical health as well. Everyone is unique and Michaela believes that nutrition is not one size fits all and she works to create personalized nutrition care for each individual to result in long-lasting change.

As a registered dietitian, I specialize in intuitive eating by teaching individuals to give up the diet mentality and start focusing on incorporating all foods into their diet. I also use this same philosophy among the athletes I work with and those struggling with eating disorders and disordered eating. I teach my clients to empower themselves to start saying yes to foods instead of no. Changing the way we eat is a lifestyle change but it doesn’t have to be radical either. Nutrition does not have to be difficult, but somehow we have made eating food very confusing.

I received my Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine from Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine in 2014 and completed a three year independent residency at Arizona Digestive Health where I practiced as a licensed naturopathic physician alongside MD gastroenterologists. I have managed thousands of patients suffering with IBS, IBD, GERD, Dyspepsia, Gas/Bloating, Celiac, Hepatitis, Fatty Liver and More! As of now, Missouri is not a licensed state for naturopathic doctors and thus I do not hold a Missouri license. I strongly recommend all potential clients have a primary care physician such as a MD or DO.

I work with adolescents and young adults to achieve a healthy relationship with food, body, and exercise. I include families in my treatment, as needed, to ensure adequate supports for everyone.

My ideal client is looking for a solution to a health concern that either has no medical solution, or for which the only known solution is medication or surgery. Many people come to me for allergy symptoms (eczema, congestion, digestive complaints, etc.), digestive issues (bloating, constipation, diarrhea, IBS, SIBO, candida), chronic infections and many other health concerns. The techniques I use are gentle enough for people in almost any condition (I have treated newborns, geriatric patients, and patients with spinal metastasis).

I have been in practice for 26 years, and have had the privilege and honor to assist thousands of people pursuing natural and effective healthcare, and an answer for their problem. It is rarely easy, especially because problems become compounded due to delay, western medicine approaches, and certain lifestyle choices. We all hope for and want good health, to feel good most of the time, and to feel great some of the time, but things happen that put us in the cross-hairs of worrisome health issues.Common, are the side effects of stress, sleep deprivation, and poor diet.

We are looking for people who want to find the cause of their problem and are searching for ways to get well and stay well. We focus primarily on spine related issues but also treat sports related injuries, auto accidents, and specialize in treatment of headaches.

We offer a wide-range of therapies and modalities because we work with people of all ages and conditions from newborns to the elderly in transition. Our work can be as gentle or powerful as needed. We also do fourth and fifth dimensional medicine, as well as helping people reset and re-balance after traumas. Doing the emotional integrative work is as important as the physical, if the healing process is to hold and be transformative. Please see our website: watsu1.com.

As a wellness coach, I help clients navigating a path to the health changes they desire most. Some specific challenges I have helped clients overcome include weight loss, improved nutritional habits, improved fitness, and being able to reduce or eliminate need for medications. Research has shown that lasting change is a process which takes time, curiosity, patience, perseverance and a willingness to grow. Clients often come to me after spending months or even years "stuck in the muck", frustrated at being unable to outgrow old habits which are having a negative impact on their health and well-being.

I view health and healing as a partnership. My specialties are Women's Health, Sports Medicine (weekend warriors to the professional athlete), Chronic disease management(including cancer support) and Pediatrics; however, I do see a wide range of patients. I do use a combination of acupuncture, customized herb therapies where applicable, as well as food therapy and lifestyle counseling. It is very important to me that my patients feel empowered to regain control of their health.
