Hi, I’m Hailey - advanced holistic nutrition practitioner

For long as I can remember I struggled with sub-optimal health, plagued with a list of chronic and mystery illnesses. I spent years with migraines, painful and heavy periods, extreme digestive issues, exhaustion, nausea and fainting spells. I was diagnosed with a slew of issues and told suffering was my fate as a woman.

I became a Holistic Nutrition Practitioner - on a mission to never let a woman feel as abandoned by her body and the health care system as I did. Your debilitating pain is not “normal”, and your symptoms are not “random”, or just “part of being a woman”.

I see you, I was you, and I understand your struggle. I can’t wait to work with you and for you - to help you THRIVE.

General FAQs

  • What does a holistic nutritionist do?

    A holistic nutritionist looks at your whole body — hormones, digestion, mental health, and lifestyle — to uncover root causes of symptoms and support healing with food, herbs, and lifestyle shifts.

  • What is functional testing and how is it different from regular lab work?

    Functional testing looks deeper than standard blood work. It helps uncover the root causes of symptoms by assessing mineral levels, gut health, adrenal stress, and immune response. Unlike conventional labs that often say you’re “within range,” functional tests reveal imbalances before they turn into diagnosable conditions.

  • What functional tests do you offer?

    I use tools like HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis) GI-MAP (Comprehensive Stool Analysis), Amino Acid Profiles, Genetic testing, Salivary Hormones, OATs (Organic Acid Testing) and more.

  • What’s the best test for hormone imbalance or PMDD?

    To support PMDD naturally, I often recommend HTMA first - minerals are the foundation, after that we can look into GI map, salivary hormones, DNA testing (for mutations like MTHFR, COMT) or amino acid profiles when necessary.

  • What’s cycle syncing and how does it work?

    Cycle syncing aligns your food, movement, and lifestyle with your menstrual phases to reduce PMS, support your hormones and boost energy. I offer personalized guides and the cycle chef app to make it easy.

  • Do I need to do testing to work with you?

    Nope! I recognize functional labs are pricey and not in everyone’s budget. A big part of my mission is accessibility and I’ve successfully helped women heal their gut issues, PMS and acne without labs.

HAIR TISSUE MINERAL ANALYSIS

what is it?

HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis) is a lab test that measures the mineral and metal levels stored in your hair over the past 2–3 months. It gives insight into your body's stress response, thyroid function, adrenal activity, and detox pathways.

How is it different from blood labs?

HTMA will show us imbalances sometimes before symptoms manifest. This is a picture of cellular level health over a 3 month period. Blood labs show us a single moment snapshot of your bodies best output.

WHat will my HTMA tell me?

  1. Your metabolic type: Slow or fast metabolism (oxidation rate)

  2. Nervous system imbalances (anxiety, fatigue, burnout)

  3. Copper dysregulation or estrogen dominance

  4. Adrenal or thyroid sluggishness (even when bloodwork is “normal”)

  5. Mineral deficiencies from stress, gut issues, or medications

  6. Heavy metal retention (mercury, aluminum, lead, etc.)

  7. Why supplements may not be working

  8. Detox and drainage blocks

How is it useful?

Minerals are the spark plugs to our bodies. Involved in almost all enzyme reactions, metabolic activity, and detoxification cycles. Improper mineral balance affects energy, digestion, metabolism, menstrual cycles and disorders, mood and skin conditions.


THE PROCESS

1. Purchase an HTMA package
2. Fill out an intake form, book your first consult and get your welcome package
3. Receive your HTMA kit, follow collection instructions and send to the lab
4. Results are interpreted by Hailey and your protocol is created - listen to Hailey geek out (break it all down in clear, digestible terms) in a 90 minute game plan call.
5. Three months of support and healing starts
6. Feel your best and wonder why you didn't start sooner

can i buy an HTMA without a protocol?

I do not offer HTMAs as a stand alone without working with me. MANY practitioners do and I personally believe it to be wrong. I’ve had clients come to me after $$$$$ in testing and interpretations but no support or guidance on where to go. I get it - lifes expensive but saving on the protocol and 1:1 support will cost you more in the long run. HTMAs wrongly interpreted can be dangerous. I offer sliding scale and do my best to keep prices as affordable as possible. Your health is your best investment.
