I’m Ayana — Functional nutritionist helping you heal your gut and finally feel at home in your body again.

I've been where you are now

For years, I struggled with confusing symptoms that no one could explain — fatigue, bloating, and that constant sense that something was off. Every doctor told me things looked “normal,” but I didn’t feel normal.

When I finally discovered functional nutrition, everything changed. I began to understand how the gut, hormones, and stress were connected, and that healing wasn’t about chasing fixes, but truly listening to the body.

Now, I help other women find that same relief and clarity without the pressure, guesswork, or burnout that can make natural healing feel so hard.

What I believe

Feeling good shouldn’t be so complicated

Whole foods first, always

Progress, not perfection

Confidence through consistency

Balance over burnout

You’ve tried guessing. Now it’s time for expert guidance that actually fits your life.

My approach looks at the full picture: nutrition, lifestyle, stress, sleep, and emotional wellbeing. Through functional testing and careful observation, I help uncover what’s really going on in your body and build a plan that feels doable day to day.

I believe healing should feel empowering, not confusing. That’s why everything I share is grounded in education and collaboration. You’ll always know why we’re doing what we’re doing.
