My ideal client is someone that has received a medical diagnosis that requires a gluten-free diet, such as Celiac Disease. They may be newly diagnosed, or still struggling with symptoms after already starting the gluten-free diet. They understand that their condition is lifelong and they want to learn how to best support themselves and their health by learning how to incorporate the gluten-free diet into their everyday life. They don't want their diagnosis to run their life, instead they want to continue working towards their life goals and not let their diagnosis stop them from living their best life.

Most problems are not where the pain is being felt, so I use observation, client history, and just plain intuition sometimes to find the original trauma.
