Hi. I’m Krista.

Thanks for visiting.

I provide individualized functional nutrition counseling to people interested in health and nutrition. I hold a Masters Degree in Nutrition from the National University of Natural Medicine (NUNM) and am a certified Health Coach through the Institute of Integrative Nutrition. I am firmly rooted in the food as medicine movement. I believe whole-heartedly in the power of food to nourish and heal the body, and use a science-based approach to personalize diet and lifestyle recommendations.

I am a lover of life, laughing, learning, food, people and adventure. I have seen first hand how simple dietary and lifestyle changes can prevent, reverse and support chronic health conditions.

I am experienced in the implementation of many therapeutic, multi-layered and individualized diet plans for health conditions, such as: MTHFR, PCOS, endometriosis, digestive disorders, autoimmune conditions, infertility/sub-fertility, weight loss and overall prevention and healthy living. I partner with my clients to help find practical and enjoyable ways to achieve their health potential.

The nutritive powers of food, combined with mindfulness, have the potential to nurture us and to support us in healing. Our relationship with food is complex, woven into the very fabric of our daily lives. As a result, implementing changes in this part of our lives requires compassion and support. This is where the one-on-one counseling I offer through my program Nutritional Love comes in; listening carefully to you, helping you navigate the world of contradictory nutrition advice, and providing guidance as you set goals that make sense and support YOU.

My own health and healing journey has fueled my passion for the power of nutrition combined with mindfulness. Whether you’re struggling with fertility challenges, hormonal imbalances, stubborn weight or simply looking to feel a stronger sense of agency where you’re long term health and wellness are concerned, let’s talk.

“Krista's advice is rooted in her deep knowledge of metabolism, physiology, and nutritional science. She is a wealth of information. She helps you to fit healthy nutrition into your individual lifestyle. It is just great to spend time with Krista because on top of all of this , she has a warm, positive, energetic personality. It is always a pleasure to meet with her!”

-Alison C. - Portland, Or

“Krista is a ray of sunshine. She couples her knowledge of nutrition with a practical positivity that helps you move toward your goals. As with anything in life where change is desired - it is up to the individual to make the changes and hold onto those changes as best they can. Krista never makes you feel as though you could have, or should have, done better. With the detoxifications and guides Krista has given me I have learned many wonderful and interesting things about nutrition and how it works in our bodies. Fascinating and doable!”

- Amy V. - Hillsboro, OR

“My wife and I work with Krista to address both our shared and individual nutritional goals. Our experience has been wonderful. Krista is knowledgeable, empathetic, kind, engaging, and curious. It's clear that ensuring her clients feel seen and heard is a foundational part of her approach. She takes the time to get to know you, your lifestyle, and your health goals, then goes deep on the diagnostic front to ensure she has a full picture of your current state before suggesting solutions. Thank you, Krista!”

- Jarod C. - Portland, OR

“Krista is a God send! At a time when my GI doctor head just about run out of ideas to treat the cause of my digestive issues, I was introduced to Krista through a referral and after listening to my issues and asking questions about symptoms, she put together an incredible plan to get me back up and running! Expect to work, but that work will pay off. Krista does tele conferencing, is very flexible with your schedule and she has an app for that which makes getting connected and communicating a breeze! Krista is very compassionate and patient and is really interested in your well being.I highly recommend her services to anyone in need. She knows her stuff!”
- Ron T. - South Gate, CA

“I've worked with Krista since the fall of last year and have learned so much from her in such a short amount of time. She helps me with so much more than just nutrition! But nutrition and healthy living really is the core of everything that we do during our monthly sessions. I feel more energized and confident in my nutrition choices. She has been a great addition to my circle of providers, and I am so excited to continue working with her!”
- Lauren P. - Portland, OR

“Krista first came into my life in 2017 when my dad was dying from Alzheimer's and I was involved in caregiving. I found her on Instagram and reached out. It was one of the best decisions I ever made! Every session was practically like therapy. She immediately knew that my biggest need, along with making changes to my nutrition, was to manage my stress levels. She has such a caring, loving approach to coaching and nutrition. I remember in the beginning she told me, in the kindest way, "Oh sister, your body needs to be able to take a breath and just eat yummy nourishing food." I'd never had a nutritionist say that; like take all the stress out of food! Such a breath of fresh air.

This past year (summer of 2021-2022) I've been a member of her Prime membership program and it is incredible content and once a month calls with her for such a great value!! During this time she's helped me do testing and dive deeper into why my body has had digestion issues, food sensitivities, and so on. Her skills, training and instincts are spot on. She even reaches out to physicians for extra insight. It's been so enlightening and helpful. She's someone you can immediately connect with, who truly listens and comes alongside you to guide you, and there's never, ever a cookie-cutter plan.

So to anyone considering working with her I would say "Absolutely do it! You won't regret it." Krista really embodies her business name, Nutritional Love!”
