Hi, I'm Deanna!
(FDN-P, CPT, CES)
In Highschool I felt a burning passion for holistic health, which led me to pursue Fitness and Health Promotion in college. I continued my education to become a personal trainer, corrective exercise specialist, and nutritionist working in group fitness and 1-on-1 training. I kept seeing people around me suffer with chronic health issues that went far beyond basic nutrition and exercise. I knew there was something missing, which led me to explore other career options, leading me to become
a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner.

After a few months of traveling post-grad,
I created my own health coaching business to help people out of the never-ending cycle of pesky symptoms that won't go away, with no real answers. I believe from science-backed research that the majority of chronic health issues are a result of man-made actions, which means- it can be preventable! This is something the education system has failed us on, which is why I emphasize a huge education component in my health rebuilding programs.
I practice what I preach- a lifestyle that doesn't feel like a chore or Bootcamp! FUNctnl emphasizes fun, because that is what life and your health journey should be. As a society, we have fallen away from the basics, but once you nail that down, the rest falls into place. You don't know what you're missing out on!
