Our Magnificent Team of 9

Janel is obsessed with helping people understand their body better and how to use food and lifestyle to feel and function their best.  Janel has dug deep into the science of food, nutrition, and physiology to provide a missing gap in health care. She believes that when we understand basic physiology of our body we can stop frantically reaching for the silver bullet and instead calmly and methodically work on restoring balance and function.  

Janel started out in the wellness world in 2004 as an Ayurvedic Yoga Therapist and doula.  She is now a board certified nutrition consultant, Doctor of Natural Medicine, and functional and nutrition lifestyle practitioner.  

Janel works in Tahoe CA and online teaching group classes as well as works one-on-one with people who want to take control of their health.  Janel specializes in digestion, hormones, resilience, and aging.  

When not digging into how the body works and what impacts it you can find Janel playing hard in the mountains and rivers of the west and happily chasing her kids.

IAngie is a Licensed Massage Therapist, NAMS Certified Nutrition Consultant, Mindset and Motivation coach and Functional Nutrition Lifestyle Practitioner.  Angie grew up in La Grande in an active family. Her dad was an ultramarathon runner, but Angie didn’t find her love for fitness until she was in her early thirties. She spent most of her late teens and twenties overweight, therefore understands first hand the mental and physical battle that it takes to truly change your life and become the best version of yourself. She believes that each day provides us with the opportunity to be better than yesterday. Take the lessons you learned today and carry them into tomorrow!

In early 2019 Angie entered into an unexpected health challenge that ultimately brought the diagnosis of Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. Having always believed that food could be used as medicine she pursued a functional medicine approach to healing. This path led her to study functional nutrition. She now has the ability to collaborate with clients as part of their healthcare team in a new way, providing diet and lifestyle modifications to supplement traditional health care practices.  

Some of her physical achievements include finishing 37 half marathons, 10 marathons, 1 ultra marathon, 2 triathlons, and for fun on her 40th birthday she ran 40 miles!! The unwavering support of her husband Mark and her two daughters make each one of these accomplishments much sweeter

Although her faith, work, and mission very much define her life, she does have a few other loves. When she’s not focused on helping people achieve the results they’ve been searching for, you can find her outside, in the gym, at a thrift store, in the kitchen creating meals for her family, reading Star Wars novels, listening to podcasts (or creating social media “shows”), and spending time with her husband Brad, daughter Zoe, and son Zac.

Jennifer's investigative nature and a life-long passion for natural medicine led her on a journey to go beyond a band-aid approach,discover her root causes, and to heal as much as she possibly could from her own autoimmune disorder.

She spent years pursuing dietary and nutritional interventions, which helped, but she came to realize the impact of her life script: the effects of life experiences that are not detectable via labs or imaging but nonetheless are just as real and impactful.

She realized the need to help address and release underlying factors that may contribute to a state of imbalance and subconscious self-sabotage, along with creating new associations and beliefs that become a natural part of our knowing, doing, and being. Jennifer likes to think of health and wellness as the same weeding, planting, and nurturing that goes into cultivating a garden.

Her personal health journey and that of one of her sons put her on a health coaching path to partner with clients ready to embark on a path of self-discovery, empowerment, and healing. She brings to her practice years of experiences and research that predate her current education, along with certifications in each modality that she and her family have experienced the benefits of first-hand.

Jennifer has received training through the Institute of Integrative Nutrition, Functional Nutrition Alliance, and Hypnosis Motivation Institute.  She is board-certified through the AADP, and is also certified in Emotion Code, Quantum Biofeedback, and HeartMath. She has been honored to receive IIN's Leadership in Health Coaching Award. 

Jennifer is dedicated to providing a safe space for everyone to feel seen, heard, and valued and is fully committed to a therapeutic partnership supporting empowering solutions to facilitate living your fullest self with confidence and hope.
