Hi, I’m BEHNAZ.
Functional Nutrition Counsellor + Holistic Health Coach
Like you, I struggled with chronic health issues that lingered for years. It was until I discovered the power of food and functional nutrition that I noticed healing. As I began to see my health differently, my whole life transformed. I became healthier and more vibrant than ever. This has been my way forward and I love it! I find healing joyful, creative, and fun. I’ve since been on a mission to spread the news that you’re in charge of your health by providing honest and transparent coaching through the lens of holistic health and functional nutrition. This is The Art of Healing designed for anyone ready to find long-lasting solutions that work!
A glimpse into this work
Our sessions are spaces of curiosity and outside the box problem solving. I’ll guide you to finding the root of your chronic symptoms -the bloating, itchiness, confusion, gut pain, and fatigue.
I’ll give easy to follow, bite size solutions so you can your gut strength and digestive flow.
We’ll track your symptoms and see what you react to, while removing the triggers. The protocols are meant to be clear, direct, and unique to your sensitivities and nutritional needs.
You’ll be given dietary options & alternatives, personalized recipes, and and a new blueprint that would soothe your gut and get rid of your frustrating symptoms.
My goal is for you to feel educated about YOUR BODY, use the power of food as medicine, feel empowered to heal and be a stronger, healthier you.
my health journey
For years, I struggled with thyroid problems, food allergies, sensitivities and a sense of fatigue that lingered. Not knowing the root cause kept me stuck, until I got sick and was in a difficult place knowing that I had to find a new way.
I was overfunctioning and had no clue how to ask for help, attune to my needs, or really slow down. My symptoms were a wake up call. I saw my situation as a gift that helped me see myself -for the first time- with clarity. This is when I found root cause medicine and epigenetics. I’ve now finished my certificate as a functional nutrition counsellor and help clients find their way back to a healthier body and a healthier life.
Our bodies have an inborn ability to heal and repair. With the right help, a corrective lifestyle, the right nutrients, and a supportive environment we find healing in ways that might have felt impossible. A holistic, root-cause oriented, and bio-individual approach allows for such transformation to happen. Our bodies are truly multidimensional, powerful, and resilient.
I’m grateful for this work, for being here, and for offering my services to help you heal :)
