Nutritional Therapy

Holistic nutrition that goes beyond the plate. We look at the full picture — your sleep, stress, emotions, and environment — to create a plan that's truly yours.

What Nutritional Therapy Can Do for You

We've worked with clients facing a wide range of chronic conditions — and time after time, we've seen how powerful the right nutrition can be. When your body gets what it truly needs, it has an incredible ability to heal.

Here are a few examples of conditions we help support:

  • Diabetes type 2

Energy + Mood

  • Chronic fatigue

  • Depression and Anxiety

  • Sleep disruptions

  • Anemia

Heart Health

  • High Blood Pressure

  • High Cholesterol

  • Fatty Liver Disease

  • Inflammation

Digestive Health

  • Nutrient Absorption Issues

  • Acid Reflux/ GERD

  • Irregular Bowel Movements

  • Candida Overgrowth

What Makes Our Approach Different


Nutritional Microscopy

A single drop of blood, examined live under a high-powered microscope. This gives us a real-time window into your cellular health — revealing things like nutrient deficiencies, inflammation, and oxidative stress that standard labs often miss.


Bioresonance Scanning

A non-invasive scan that reads your body's energetic frequencies to identify imbalances, sensitivities, and areas that need support. It helps us see what's happening beneath the surface — from organ stress to environmental factors.

Applied Kinesiology (Muscle Testing)

A hands-on technique used during in-person visits to assess how your body responds to specific foods, supplements, and stressors. Your body gives us the answers — we just know how to ask.


Functional Bloodwork Review

We look at your lab results through a functional lens — not just checking if you're "in range," but identifying patterns and early warning signs that point to the root cause of your symptoms.


Emotional Health- Bach Flower Remedies

Your emotions are real, and they affect your health. We ask the deeper questions to uncover what you've been carrying — and use Bach Flower Remedies to gently bring those emotions back into balance.

Your Initial Consultation

This is where we really listen. Our appointments are longer than what you may be used to because we want the full picture. During your visit, we may take a small drop of blood to examine under the microscope (nutritional microscopy) and use bioresonance scanning to look deeper — all to get to the root of what's going on, not just the surface.

Step 1

Reach Out & Complete Your Intake Forms

After you contact us, we'll send you detailed intake forms. These go beyond just nutrition — we look at the whole picture: your sleep, movement, emotions, stress levels, environment, and hydration. They're a bit lengthy, but that's because we treat you as a whole person, not just a symptom.

Step 2

You Set the Pace

At the end of your consultation, you decide what you're ready to work on. Some clients go all in, others prefer baby steps — both are welcome. From there, you can book your next follow-up, choose a 3-, 6-, or 12-month plan, or simply schedule as you go. We're here for the long run whenever you are.

Step 3

Your Personalized Plan

Food comes first — always. We'll focus on changing how you eat and what you eat through real, whole foods. If your body needs extra support, we may add natural herbs (capsules, loose leaf, or flower extracts) or targeted supplements. But lifestyle changes are the foundation. Everything is tailored to you.

  • First of all, I want to say Thank you!!! And to say that my life is full of everything that I lacked in knowledge and support in those moments when I felt defeated by one or several health conditions […] and I was actually convinced that this would be the case for the rest of my life. But thanks to all the guidance and support received from Mayra […] it has changed me, I am full of desire to live free and with the power of the knowledge that Mayra has given me, I know that life does not end like this, now a new stage begins so that I can say and reach my life full of health and knowledge to share… Thank you forever Mayra!
