Six months ago I signed up to work with Autumn because I was experiencing severe stomach discomfort, cramping and bloating after meals, and was extremely fatigued. Between the time I signed up and when we had our first meeting, I wound up in the ER with severe pain under my right ribcage, and found out I had gallstones. The ER doctor told me I needed to have my gallbladder removed. I asked if there was anything else I could do, like change my diet in order to avoid the surgery, and he laughed and told me this was my only option unless I wanted to wait it out and let it get so severe that I would wind up back in the ER and need emergency surgery at some point. The next morning I received a call from a general surgeons office to schedule the “routine procedure.” I told them I wanted to explore my options. I mentioned this to Autumn, and needless to say she got all fired up and we embarked on “operation save Mary’s gallbladder!”

Autumn quickly changed up my diet and came to palpate me. We found the supplements that were supportive to my personal situation for both my gallbladder as well as my stomach, increased my water intake and added salt, and helped me understand what a good balanced diet looked like. On top of these things, we focused on the huge amount of stress I was experiencing and she helped me identify what my stressors were, and we came up with ways to cope with and reduce the stressors. Through working with Autumn, not only did I find immediate relief in my gallbladder pain and stomach issues, but I became so in tune with my body and the way that I feel. I now can quickly identify when something is off (gallbladder pain, stomach discomfort, increasing stress levels), and I have the tools to immediately put in place. I’m forever grateful to Autumn for helping my save my gallbladder, and so much more!

I was a fit mama with a generally healthy lifestyle. The slowdown of the pandemic gave me an opportunity to focus a bit more on me. In taking the time to really tune into my body, I realized I was feeling pretty crappy. Every day. My 30+ years of chronic dehydration were finally catching up with me, I figured. I was increasingly addicted to caffeine and woke up every night for a 3 AM pee. Autumn’s Instagram convinced me it was time to seek help. I signed on hoping working with her would provide me with the accountability I was lacking as it related to fixing my lack of water consumption, which was clearly my main problem (or so I thought).   

In our first session, I quickly realized that while my lack of water was a major problem, my lack of consistency around mealtime was really f’ing up my blood sugar. She flagged that my non-fat diet wasn’t cutting it and reminded me of the importance of buying organic. I immediately took all her suggestions to heart and surprisingly quickly started feeling better than I’ve felt in years.

I will take many of the things I learned during our sessions with me going forward. I now look at every label for fat vs. sugar (at minimum). More fat, please! We bought a grass-fed cow - yumm. I’ve changed out all the laundry detergent and dishwashing agents in my house. I now drink a lot of water – and even so, probably still not enough. But each day is a new one, and I find myself more and more committed to the pursuit of the cleanest possible lifestyle as time goes on. 

Just because you are fit, strong and perform reasonably well, doesn’t mean you can’t benefit from Autumn’s program. I was all those things … but I knew something wasn’t right. Every workout didn't have to be so hard! I made a commitment to myself, and it turned out a bunch of little fixes resulted in some big changes which made a world of difference for my mind and body. Thank you, Autumn!

The Universe guided me to Autumn on Instagram via a mutual friend at the exact perfect time. I was in the process of recovering from a gnarly mold infection, my gut was a mess, hormones all over the place and my mental health (anxiety/depression) had certainly seen "better" days.

Autumn was launching her business and I enthusiastically claimed a spot to work with her on all of these issues. I've always seen myself as a pretty healthy eater but when my health rapidly declined with the mold infection, I knew I had to step my game up. Enter Autumn!

Over the last 6 months, we have worked on vitamin deficiencies and hormone supplements as well as HPA support and tackling the gut with a dysbiosis protocol to blast things out the right way. I have seen an increase in energy levels and decreased bloating/gas/belching. Plus, I've lost 20 pounds. While the weight loss was never part of the goals, I am obviously happily pleased with this result.

Autumn truly takes a holistic approach by catering supplements to each client while also listening to their story. I also have an eating disorder history, so my case is anything from "easy." She has been kind, empathetic and encouraging throughout our entire time together. I have thoroughly enjoyed working together and am so glad I added her to my Wellness Team!

Working with Autumn has been life changing! I have struggled with eating disorders, depression and horrible body image negative self talk.

Autumn has helped me take all the right steps to move in the right direction. She is very knowledgeable about health which has been my best and biggest tool. Yes, it is work but if you’re willing to put in the work to really gift yourself life I recommend Autumn! From foods, supplements, hydration to movement Autumn has catered a program specifically for what works for ME and continues to adjust accordingly as my body takes this life long journey of health. She is constantly motivating me.

Because of her I am more aware of what health truly means, digging deep and healing from the inside out. Breaking old habits and unlearning a lot of toxic behaviors that can be so imbedded in us due to... well, great but deceiving marketing. Being honest with myself and understanding that there is no magic pill. Dropping all “diets” and really healing.

Autumn, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. You have made my life so rich.

Working with Autumn has completely changed my way of eating and thinking about food. I have honestly never met an individual so passionate about her work. There is so much guilt in our world these days surrounding food that it can be intimidating to work with a nutritionist.

Autumn truly works with YOU as an individual and creates a plan that is tailored to your lifestyle. She revels in her clients triumphs and gets jazzed over even, what may seem like, the smallest victories. Her positivity resonates throughout her practice and I am grateful for her dedication and passion.

My digestion has improved ten fold, I no longer feel bloated after every meal, and the best part is, this feels totally SUSTAINABLE. Autumn dedicates herself to improving her clients lives, day in and day out, and I feel so lucky to be able to work with her.

Autumn has been incredible to work with. I have tried EVERY diet under the sun, low fat, Keto, paleo, and the list goes on. I had come to the realization a couple years ago that I need a lifestyle, not a diet. I was convinced I could be low key keto forever, but that is limiting so much and I was feeling lost. After learning more about healing the body from within and bio individuality, I knew I had to work with Autumn. 

She genuinely cares about my well being and helps me make small daily changes and set realistic goals to get my body functioning as optimal as possible. 

If you’re ready to get your body functioning optimally and want some expertise and guidance, Autumn is your gal!

Before working with Autumn I had tried really hard to get rid of my bloating. I am a nutrition coach so I'm a bit nerdy and I really geeked out on how to deflate my belly. I made quite a bit of progress but eventually the bloat returned and I felt stuck. I was a bit hesitant to begin working with someone because I do know quite a lot but I was really intrigued by the functional part of Autumn's certification. I reached out to learn a bit more about it and realized I had to take a leap and see what she could do! Oh man I'm glad I did. Progress wasn't fast and honestly for a minute there I was worried I wouldn't make any but towards the end of our time together things began to change. My bloat had gone down significantly! I decided to continue on solo (while still following her protocol) and things have only gotten better! I'm so grateful for Autumn, her knowledge and her down to earth vibes.

After years of dealing with daily heartburn, getting an endoscopy, and seeing multiple doctors (both conventional and naturopathic) for my digestion issues, seeing Autumn was one of my last attempts to heal myself before settling on the idea that this was my life and I’d just have to deal. I was tired of daily pain and not getting the healing support I needed from doctors. I found Autumn’s instagram one day and knew I needed to reach out, and I am SO glad I did.

She’s such a pro with an easy-to-get-along with attitude that many of our sessions just felt like we were girlfriends catching up with each other, which made our time working together rewarding and just straight up fun.

Through the tools Autumn uses, you can actually SEE your progress graphed on a chart as a visual reminder of how far you’ve come. This is especially helpful on the days you feel pessimistic if your situation will ever get better and when you are—she’ll be right there to reassure you that this is a journey and you’re making progress, even if you don’t always feel like you are. That’s exactly what she did for me.

There were many things I was doing that were hurting my ability to heal that I had NO idea about and Autumn helped me establish habits that I know will support my health to the fullest for the rest of my life! She got me to eat breakfast on a regular basis, which I hadn’t done for years because I “was never hungry in the morning.” And now that I’ve been able to get my heartburn under control with her help, I know I’ll never have to take another PPI again or cry from frustration. I have a handle on my condition and understand my body so much more since working together that I feel confident in my body’s ability to heal again!

If you’re even on the fence about exploring the world of nutritional therapy with Autumn as your guide, take the chance! Only good things are waiting for you.

Prior to working with Autumn, I was the girl who constantly had to carry tums, pepto and ginger candies in my bag. I was feeling run down after just moving to the Pacific Northwest from Los Angeles and I had gained 10 pounds. After countless tests with doctors, every over the counter medication I could find and years of feeling bloated and constipated, I found Autumn.

Autumn has helped me develop a supplement plan that allows my body to function properly and most importantly, she has taught me the tools to really listen to what my body needs and wants. Autumn has given me the space to make my health my priority and has taught me quick and effortless ways to make me feel better. I am back to my goal weight but more importantly, my body image and mental health is at an all time high. I cannot recommend Autumn enough.

Initially, I was a little apprehensive about working with an FNTP for the first time. I wasn’t sure if I would feel judged for my diet or if the symptoms I was struggling with would improve. It’s now 11 weeks later and I’m so glad I chose to work with Autumn! I’ve felt so supported and encouraged along this journey. She took the time to listen to my health and wellness goals and develop a plan that’s personalized for me!

Autumn has helped me to gradually implement dietary, supplementation, and lifestyle changes that have added up to produce significant results. My daily headaches, brain fog, and low energy have disappeared. I no longer need a nap to get through the day! My biggest success has been in addressing my acid reflux. I used to suffer from discomfort in my throat and my voice was so hoarse that I often avoided speaking up at work or starting conversations with new people. Though I still have some work to do, I’m so excited about the improvements I’ve made thus far. I’ve regained my voice and my day-to-day quality of life and confidence have soared! I wholeheartedly recommend working with Autumn to anyone ready to take a detailed, holistic approach to their health and make some changes.

I spent my teenage years and 20’s with acid reflux. I was surrounded by family members that popped a rennie (British Tums) anytime we had eaten a big meal and talked about burping up acid like it was normal.

It wasn’t until earlier this year when I came from back from a foodie trip to NYC that I realized how acid reflux truly wasn’t normal. I ended up with gastritis in January. 

It was the most painful thing I had ever experienced. I was off work for weeks, I couldn’t eat anything without my stomach, ribs and back burning with pain. 

I have always been quite holistic so going to the doctors every other week and taking acid reducers simply wasn’t sitting well with me.

Thankfully I came across my neighbors page. Autumn had a whole highlight on her page about acid reflux, papaya enzymes and how acid reflux could be the result of LOW stomach acid. That doesn’t even sound like it makes sense does it?

I’ve been 4/5 months into nutritional therapy and I’m drinking more water, eating a lot less sugar and I DON’T HAVE ACID REFLUX ANYMORE!!

Autumn is always at the end of the phone if I have a nutritional/holistic health question. I am so grateful for her help so far and I’m excited for the next little while.

Autumn is the best!! Not only is she extremely knowledgeable about general health, organ functions, digestion, and the natural supplements that can be used to support your body where it is lacking, but you can tell it’s a true passion of hers and that she spills her heart into her work! She helped me literally change my life by using her knowledge to get me set up with the right food and supplement regimen, increasing my energy levels! I am now replacing my daily nap with productive actions and achieving things I truly never thought possible! It is a big deal and life changer to sit down with Autumn, so she can get your body and health back on track! And I love that she continues to push me towards my goals and the right health choices for me and genuinely cares about my journey and my well-being :)
