About Us

Anne’s journey in the field of functional nutrition over the last 22 years began in a functional medicine practice, where she learned the power of objective testing. From there she opened her own business, A New Leaf Nutrition, where she built a wait-list distance practice in Sonoma County, California. Anne has taught nutrition courses in Washington, Hawaii, and California, hosted “Health-Wise” (a weekly radio show), and founded Restorative Wellness Solutions in 2013 with the sole purpose of training other nutrition professionals how to address complex issues with their clients and achieve the same stellar results she gets in her practice.

Anne focuses on educating her students about the importance of nutrient-dense foods and balancing biochemistry. From there, she looks for the deeper underlying issues by utilizing a variety of testing techniques and customized healing methods to restore optimal function and health.

Anne received her certification in functional nutrition from Advanced Integrated Medical Institute in Washington, DC in 2000 and she is a Master Restorative Wellness Practitioner and Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner.

Anne is passionate about teaching, preparing nutrient dense foods, staying vibrant through movement, spending time with her family, and connection around the table. She is excited and honored to share her successful practice model with other practitioners so, together, we can globally help more people live better and longer.

Margaret believes firmly in the power of real, whole nutrient-dense foods and the body’s ability to use them as core to all aspects of health and wellness. She works with a variety of different tools to understand the imbalances in the body, and uses dietary changes and supplementation to help bring the body back into balance, which is where true healing occurs.

Margaret is a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP), a Certified Restorative Wellness Specialist, a Certified GAPS Practitioner, a Certified Healing Foods Specialist, and a Certified Gluten Practitioner. Margaret is the author of Eat Naked: Unprocessed, Unpolluted, and Undressed Eating for a Healthier, Sexier You and coauthor of its follow-up cookbook, The Naked Foods Cookbook. She currently writes at eatnakedkitchen.com as well as several other health websites.

Ellen focuses on cutting through the confusion and nutrition “noise,” digging to the roots of clients’ dysfunction, and figuring out the best way for them to eat, drink, and thrive. She uses the RWS functional analysis tools daily, and is excited to share her passion for these methods. Ellen believes that only by focusing on root causes, combined with whole foods nutrition, can true wellness be achieved. Ellen is also a passionate animal lover who volunteers at a wildlife rescue facility, and can often be found smelling of skunk while covered in Mastiff drool.

Seeing firsthand the effects of diet on autoimmune disease and mental health, she was catapulted into a career in nutrition.  Since 2014 she has worked as a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, and in 2016 she received her certification as a Restorative Wellness Practitioner.  The RWS program has added invaluable tools to her repertoire, allowing her to dig deeper to uncover root causes of imbalance and to ultimately help her clients improve their quality of life.

Sara is the owner of Wellness Intentioned, a private nutrition practice based in Richmond, Virginia.  Her practice is predominantly focused on gut health, as the implications of a dysfunctional digestive system are far-reaching and many health concerns can be attributed to that dysfunction.  Pregnancy and fertility are also special areas of interest for Sara, and she teaches classes to educate women and their partners about preparing their bodies for a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby.

It is Sara’s hope to deeply touch the lives of all the people she works with, helping them find both wellness of body and spirit.  She believes strongly in the body’s innate wisdom, and she strives to help her clients disconnect from the dogma and reconnect with their own bodies. When she’s not working, you can find her hanging with her husband and kiddos, doing yoga, watching live music, or tending to her one million houseplants.

Later, Katrina developed breast cancer and again turned to food and treated it successfully 100% naturally. This journey took her on a deeper dive into the imbalances that can create dysfunction in the body. After experiencing the profound effect that food can have first hand, Katrina went through the Nutritional Therapy Association’s training to become a Functional Nutritional Therapist. She has continued her education through Restorative Wellness Solutions with training to interpret lab tests which allow her to personalize her recommendations. Katrina works with clients from all over the US to help them dig down to the root causes and address their imbalances using food as their medicine.

Katrina has always had a passion for understanding how the body works. She has been teaching Pilates and anatomy for over twenty years. She conducts Pilates teacher training at her studio, Personalized Pilates, in Scottsdale, Arizona as well as speaking at Pilates conferences internationally.

Katrina is blessed with 7 children which she is passionate about raising not only with good health but also with the understanding how to pass that on to our future generations. She believes that our bodies are created to heal and is excited to share that with everyone she encounters!

Paige ventured into the world of holistic health after struggling for years with severe digestive issues and other mysterious symptoms despite countless consults with physicians and specialists. Within months of working with a functional nutritionist, she experienced profound improvements in her symptoms, which inspired her to cross the invisible line that separates conventional medicine from holistic health.

Paige has since earned certifications as a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and Restorative Wellness Practitioner. She is owner of Naturally Nourished Wellness, a small practice specializing in gut health and the downstream effects of poor digestion. She strives to find balance between the holistic and mainstream approaches and aims to provide her clients with the best of both worlds, using her critical thinking skills from years in research combined with objective laboratory testing and her passion for the restorative power of whole foods and simple lifestyles. She spends her free time exploring the outdoors with her family, swinging kettlebells, and creating baked goods with healthier ingredients.

With a passion for seeing people vibrantly healthy, and her experience as a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, Restorative Wellness Practitioner and Certified Gluten Free Practitioner, she has a proven track record of helping her clients make a remarkable improvement to their health.

Deanne loves empowering women on a journey to find their own self-love and acceptance, while they walk the road to healing their bodies. As she knows from her own experience, it isn’t until we listen to our symptoms and take care in our nutritional choices that we are able to live a healthier and happier life.

She is a busy practitioner, mum to 3 adult children, and wife to her husband who works abroad in Singapore. Deanne has spent many years living in South East Asia and between there and Australia, developed a deep love for combining travel, cooking and creating inspired recipes to nourish and love.

She runs a practice in Sydney Australia, where as an FNTP, she uses unique skills to communicate with the body’s innate intelligence to determine underlying nutrient deficiencies and internal stressors. This allows her to customise her work on a deep bio-individual level. She also has a “test don’t guess” policy and uses extensive functional laboratory work to further support her clients needs and develop targeted healing protocols for them.

Deanne also gives her time as an Assistant Instructor for the Nutritional Therapy Association Australia.

As a child, Courtenay had chronic respiratory infections that resulted in countless rounds of antibiotics, school absences, and the limiting belief that she wasn’t strong or healthy. These problems escalated into digestive issues throughout college and law school, and as an adult, her health continued to decline. She experienced allergies, food sensitivities, skin issues, joint pain, brain fog, migraines and more. Courtenay was told that her symptoms weren’t significant and that she could take various prescriptions for the rest of her life to “manage” this growing list of conditions.

She felt wholly unseen and misunderstood, and became determined to help herself and others.

Ultimately, the birth of her amazing kids propelled Courtenay to uplevel her learning and training. She had her “why,” and committed to be the healthy, fulfilled person that her kids (human, feline & canine), her husband, and she, deserved.

Courtenay trained as a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and Master Restorative Wellness Solutions Practitioner, operating for several years as the owner of her own functional nutrition practice before jumping at the chance to join the Restorative Wellness Solutions teaching staff and becoming part of A Balanced Table’s functional nutrition team.

Courtenay also serves as the PTA Wellness Coordinator at her kids’ school, implementing countless wellness based projects and activities over the years, including an extensive school garden program, an outdoor classroom space, bike safety initiatives and water drinking campaigns.

When she’s not in her office or planning her family’s adventure, you’ll find Courtenay out running or lifting heavy things with friends, on (or in) the water with her family, or meal prepping like a maniac while rocking out to something from the ’80s.

She leads a team of practitioners who specialize in women’s digestive, hormone health, and infertility. She has a special passion for the perinatal phase in women’s lives and love to support pregnant and postpartum clients. She also works as a birth educator.

She fell in love with the power of nutrition as a CrossFit trainer who saw a big gap in the health of her clients which led her to cultivate a practice built around supporting hormonal imbalances. Deidre has been working with clients in a clinical capacity since 2015 and encourages clients to be their own biggest advocates in their wellness journey. She believes wholeheartedly in educating clients to understand how their body works so that they can provide their body with the tools it needs to support their own healing.

She holds certifications as a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, Restorative Wellness Practitioner, Precision Nutrition Coach, Institute of Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, and Certified CrossFit Trainer.

Deidre lives in the mountains of Colorado with her husband and son. In her free time, she spends time outdoors with her family, hiking and camping, moving a barbell in her home gym, and with her nose in a book.

Her practice now focuses on women’s mood and energy issues and is expanding into autoimmune and chronic conditions. She has also recently started exploring some of the energetic causes underlying various health conditions. Kimme works with clients to get at the root causes of their symptoms and has found the RWS toolkit to be invaluable in doing so. She has two daughters, an adorable golden retriever/terrier mix, and 2 rescue guinea pigs. She just relocated to Boise, Idaho from Washington DC and loves seeing the mountains every day.
