Health Professionals in Illinois
I treat patients with a wide variety of problems. I help people with all types of pain including back, neck, shoulder, hip, knee, arthritis/ joint and headaches, to name some. I also work with stress relief, anxiety, depression, insomnia, digestive issues and the negative side-effects of chemotherapy. Acupuncture can be used for any imbalance in the body. The idea is to not only correct the symptoms/pain, but to heal the whole body by getting to the root of the problem. I have extensive experience in treating low back pain, neck/shoulder pain, hip pain and knee pain.

My ideal patients are individuals whose conditions affect daily function and quality of life, including Bell’s Palsy, neurological concerns, acute and chronic pain such as sports injuries or muscular strain, and stress-related or internal disorders.
Many seek care after exploring different treatment options, and are looking for a more comprehensive and individualized approach. They want a clear plan, steady progress, and thoughtful evaluation. They hope to understand their condition, feel supported in recovery, and regain confidence in their health.

My ideal client feels stuck between wanting to improve their body composition and not wanting to fall back into restrictive, all-or-nothing patterns. They may have a history of dieting or disordered eating, struggle with consistency, and feel frustrated that what “should” work isn’t working. They want a realistic, sustainable approach that supports their metabolism, strength, and long-term health without extremes, rigid rules, or sacrificing their relationship with food.

I'm inviting all individuals who need a fresh start to their recovery. A fresh start looks like: needing to work through challenges that still remain from previous eating disorder treatments; an introduction to that body of yours who has been waiting to be "friended" by you; wanting to know how very different a nourished brain behaves and finally- meeting a hybrid dietitian who safely, wisely helps you eat, move and live in a body that's hungry for change.

Tracy And Amy Trauma Informed Nutrition Therapists
Nutritionist/Dietitian, RD, LD/N
Springfield, IL 62704
It is not often we are encouraged to honor our bodies needs. We live in world that teaches us to "watch it" and "have it together", especially around weight and food. Unfortunately, this constant pressure to "be good" can play a role in constant dieting, restricting, binging, purging and an all or nothing attitude around exercise. Fortunately, we can make peace with food and our bodies again. Our approach of trauma informed nutrition counseling and coaching teaches non-diet eating and body wisdom skills to learn to trust and feel safe inside the body and manage chronic issues such as burned and stressed out, PCOS and gut health.
