ABOUT
nourished roots thrive
Hi, I’m Hallie.
I’m a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (FNTP) based in Southeast Michigan, on a mission to help clients reclaim their health by embracing the power of real, nutrient-dense food. Whether you’re local or joining me virtually, I’m here to show you how food can be the key to unlocking your body’s ability to heal.
As an FNTP, I take a bio-individual approach to nutrition —because no two people are the same. My specialty? Liver and gallbladder health. Whether you’re looking to keep your gallbladder healthy or navigate life without one, I’ve got you covered. It’s about giving you the tools to optimize digestion, so your body can find balance, and you can feel like yourself again.
So how did I end up here?
In 2017, I was diagnosed with an autoimmune condition called Chronic Idiopathic Urticaria. Imagine full-body hives 24/7, relentless itching, and crushing fatigue. No one could explain what was happening to me. My doctors shrugged, gave me an overwhelming dose of antihistamines, and sent me on my way with zero answers. But deep down, I knew there had to be a reason.
So, I took matters into my own hands.
I dove into research and eventually found my way to the Nutritional Therapy Association, where I learned the real power of food, digestion, and proper supplementation. I started applying everything I was learning to myself —addressing nutrient deficiencies, uncovering hidden food sensitivities, ditching toxins, and finally giving my body what it needed to heal. And guess what? It worked. Slowly but surely, the hives started to disappear. The fatigue faded.
Two years of suffering, and within six months of the FNTP program, I was on the road to embracing health. I’m proud to say that I’ve been completely hive-free and off all medications since June 2020! Want the full story? You can dive deeper into my blog: “How a Bio-Individual Approach Transformed My Health Journey.”
Now, I’m here to help you. Instead of masking symptoms of your chronic conditions, let’s dig deep, nourish the root cause, and restore balance so you can thrive. Ready to get started? Schedule a Discovery Call with me.

What is Functional Nutritional Therapy?
Functional Nutritional Therapy is all about getting to the root cause of what’s going on in your body, instead of masking your symptoms. As an FNTP, I take a science-based, holistic approach to wellness that’s customized to your unique bio-individuality. Here’s the thing: there’s no one-size-fits-all diet or magic pill for better health. Every body is different, and what works for someone else might not work for you.
That’s why I take a dig deep to uncover your nutritional needs and potential imbalances through detailed questionnaires, and in-depth evaluations. From there, we create a plan that’s uniquely yours, using whole food nutrition, lifestyle changes, and, when needed, supplementation. This isn’t about quick fixes; it’s about building long-lasting health from the ground up.
While I’m here to guide and educate you on this journey, I want to be clear: I’m not a doctor, and FNTPs are not trained to diagnose or treat disease, illness, or injury. Instead, we focus on supporting the body’s natural healing processes by addressing the foundations of health—like digestion, blood sugar regulation, stress, and more.
The goal? To give your body what it needs to function at its best so you can feel your best, long-term. I’m here to empower you with the tools, knowledge, and habits that support your unique needs. Let’s get started!
Personalized Nutritional Therapy
Personalized Nutritional Therapy is all about YOU —your unique body, your health goals, and what it takes to help you feel your absolute best. No cookie-cutter diets or one-size-fits-all solutions here. We dive deep into what your body needs, based on a full evaluation of your health history, lifestyle, and even how you’re feeling day-to-day. From there, we create a custom roadmap that combines real food, sustainable habits, and strategic supplementation (if needed) to target the root cause of what’s been holding you back.
And I’m not just here to hand over a plan and send you on your way. I offer a 12-week program where we work closely together, step-by-step, to fine-tune your nutrition, so your body can find balance, and track your progress. This isn’t a quick fix—it’s about building lasting health that works for you.
Each week, we’ll focus on making manageable changes that add up to big results, giving your body exactly what it needs to heal and thrive. You’ll be fully supported with the tools, accountability, and guidance you need to reach your goals and feel amazing.
RESTART
The RESTART® Program is your ticket to hitting the reset button on your health, and it’s simpler than you think. Over the course of 5 weeks, we’ll focus on ditching sugar and processed foods, giving your body a well-deserved break while nourishing it with real, whole foods. And here’s the best part: there’s a built-in 3-week sugar detox that will leave you feeling energized, reduce inflammation, and kick those sugar and carb cravings to the curb—once and for all.
This isn’t about deprivation or counting calories. It’s about discovering how amazing you can feel when you fuel your body with the right stuff. By the end of the program, you’ll have a better understanding of how food impacts your mood, energy, and health, and you’ll be equipped with the tools to make lasting changes. Ready to feel your best? Let’s RESTART® together!
Functional Nutritional Assessment
The Functional Nutritional Assessment is like a roadmap to understanding exactly what’s going on inside your body. It’s an in-person, hands-on assessment that helps us pinpoint which organ systems might be under stress and what nutrients your body is craving to restore balance and vitality. This is where we get laser-focused on what your body needs, so we can address the root causes of any issues you’re experiencing and get you on the path to feeling your best.
Ready to uncover the missing pieces to your health puzzle?
Please note: the functional nutritional assessment is done in person, and only for those local to SE Michigan.
