Hi, I’m Vanessa — a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) with over twelve years of healthcare experience and a Certified Holistic Nutritionist dedicated to helping others heal from the inside out.
My journey into holistic nutrition wasn’t just a career choice — it was born from my own struggles with health and faith.
In 2013, I was diagnosed with Laryngopharyngeal Reflux (LPR) — also known as Silent Reflux. This condition greatly affected my quality of life, leaving me with moments where I could hardly eat and resulting in significant weight loss. Around that same time, I faced over a year and a half of chronic pain without clear answers. Eventually, I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia — a challenge that taught me the importance of truly listening to my body.
More recently, in 2022, I experienced tinnitus, another health hurdle that reminded me how complex and interconnected our bodies are.
Like many of you, I’ve struggled with postpartum weight gain, brain fog, tiredness, and moments of feeling completely disconnected from my body. But through it all, God opened my eyes — showing me that true healing begins at the root.
He led me to study Holistic Nutrition and Health, and what I discovered transformed not only my life but my entire perspective on wellness. I became aware of how deeply our food system and environment can impact our health — often keeping us in a cycle of sickness and frustration. That realization lit a fire in me to help others break free from that cycle and discover the path to restoration, balance, and renewal.
Today, through Nutrifoody Wholly Holism, I combine my medical background, faith, and holistic education to guide others toward sustainable wellness — one seed of change at a time.
