Health Professionals near Mars Hill, NC

My ideal client is eager to transform their well-being through mindful eating and nutrition practices. They are seeking a solution that doesn't just address symptoms but nourishes their body from within. They are ready to make changes but need guidance and to be provided the tools to do so.

Navigating food and diet in our society can be confusing (diet-culture, anyone?). It it easy to feel as though the recommendations for how we are supposed to eat changes from day-to-day. Increase fruit, but not too much, but on Sunday's don't eat fruit; Try Keto for 24 hours and then eat a high carb meal; Make sure you're eating protein and only protein, but remember that too much protein is bad for you. Yikes. No wonder you're seeking guidance from a Registered Dietitian (RD)! Working with me is a place to come to receive factual nutrition information about how to properly feed your body to feel your best.

I've seen the strengths and weaknesses of modern medicine firsthand as a Medic and Critical Care Nurse over 23 years. There is no easy way to convey the power I've s seen through Eastern Medicine techniques, many of which are now being brought to the mainstream. Whether it's dietary threapy, herbal medicine, needling, cuppin, they have their roots in Eastern Medicine. The modern takes on these tools often lack the unifying vision for how and when to use them, when not to, when to be gentle and when to be more aggressive. These are the kinds of neiuances only a comprehensively trained practitioner can offer to you.

I help patients whose lives are gripped by anxiety and stress. I know first hand what it feels like to have life ruled by anxiety and stress, as this was my experience for the first couple of decades of my life. I also know the freedom that comes with learning to navigate these experiences in ways that release the hold they have. I frequently write about this in my blog: https://dremilycolwell.com/blog/.
