Hi, I’m Raina!
Certified nutritional therapy and HTMA practitioner
I believe meaningful healing comes from taking a comprehensive, root-cause approach to health. Rather than simply managing symptoms, I see them as signals—important messages that help us understand what the body may be asking for. Nutritional therapy works to uncover the deeper imbalances behind those signals and support the body from the ground up.
My perspective has been shaped by over a decade of personal study, my own journey through autoimmune illness, formal training in nutritional therapy, and years spent working with skilled Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners as a client. These experiences deeply influenced the way I view the body as an interconnected system.
In my practice, I use tools such as Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) and other advanced functional labs, alongside detailed health history and nutrition foundations, to better understand each client’s unique physiology. Together, we work toward practical, sustainable changes that help restore resilience and balance.

Yes. I work with clients via email, phone, or video calls. Depending on your needs, I offer add-on 1:1 calls, email support, and video or phone consultations to provide the level of guidance and support that works best for you.
-
My work focuses on identifying and supporting the underlying imbalances that may be contributing to symptoms rather than simply managing them. This often includes looking at nutrition foundations, mineral balance, stress resilience, digestion, and lifestyle patterns that influence overall health.
-
Because my work focuses on supporting the foundations of health, many people experiencing a wide range of symptoms may benefit from this approach. Rather than treating or diagnosing specific conditions, I work to support the body’s underlying systems so it can function more optimally. Please note that I do not diagnose, treat, or cure medical conditions.

Credentials
Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (FNTP)
Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis Practitioner (HTMA-P)

Clients who have a Fullscript account through my practice are able to browse and purchase supplements directly through the platform at a discounted practitioner rate.
When supplements are recommended, they can be ordered through my professional dispensary using Fullscript, which provides access to high-quality practitioner-grade brands and ships directly to your home.
For clients completing HTMA testing, supplements may also be recommended through Vykon Supplements, which specializes in targeted mineral support.
Because supplement quality and sourcing matter, I recommend using trusted practitioner-grade brands rather than purchasing supplements through large retail marketplaces where quality and storage conditions can vary.
-
Whenever possible, I prefer to follow a “test, don’t guess” approach and often use non-invasive testing such as Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) to provide clearer insight and guide more targeted recommendations. However, lab testing is not required to begin working together. Some clients choose to start with nutrition and lifestyle guidance, and testing can always be added later if deeper insight would be helpful.
-
Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) is a non-invasive lab test that evaluates mineral levels and patterns in the body using a small sample of hair. Because minerals play essential roles in metabolism, nervous system regulation, and overall resilience, this test can provide helpful insight into underlying nutritional imbalances.
HTMA may help provide insight into:
Mineral deficiencies and imbalances
Immune function and balance
Stress patterns and nervous system resilience
Metabolic tendencies and energy production
Electrolyte balance (such as sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium)
Heavy metal patterns and how the body may be handling them
Long-term mineral trends over the previous several months
This information can help guide personalized nutrition and lifestyle recommendations. HTMA is not used to diagnose or treat medical conditions.
-
Every individual is different, but many clients begin noticing shifts within the first few weeks of implementing foundational changes. Meaningful improvements often occur gradually as the body receives consistent support.
It is helpful to remember that healing is not linear and takes time. A positive mindset, swaps, and small consistent steps add up to big results over months! Keep up the meaningful work!
-

-
Yes. I am able to order and interpret Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) as well as a variety of functional lab tests when appropriate. Depending on your needs, this may include tests such as the Organic Acids Test (OAT) or other functional diagnostics that can provide deeper insight into underlying patterns.
