About

Jessica is an award-winning Integrative Health Practitioner L2 and Health Coach helping women restore balance using functional medicine lab testing and her THRIVE healing framework. She’s been featured in Brit+Co, Chat Magazine and Canvas Rebel for her health journey story about how she put her alopecia areata into remission. Jessica is a big believer that when you take away the things that keep your body stuck (like toxins, pathogens and chronic stress) and fill on the things your body craves (like nutrients, love and safety) your body will flow back into balance naturally. Jessica loves getting out into nature with her husband and 8 year old daughter. She lives in Portland, Oregon. Alopecia Areata, Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis

Lauren is a freelance writer/editor-for-hire and the creator of an unabashed lifestyle blog about all things midlife. She is also a mother, wife, sister, friend, trauma survivor, autoimmune fighter, and all-around wellness warrior who lives in yoga pants, thinks zucchini is the best vegetable ever, and never leaves home without under eye concealer, her cell phone, a reusable glass water bottle, and an elastic hair band around her wrist. In short, she’s a strong, emboldened, middle-aged woman with a lot to say about living your strongest, healthiest, best life. Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis

Diagnosed in 1998, Heather lived with severe rheumatoid arthritis for
twenty years before entering a prescription-free remission several years ago.

If you’re curious about addressing possible underlying causes of your autoimmune disease, message her with questions.
