I am a Functional Genomic Nutrition Consultant that has a passion for fertility optimization and reproductive wellness! Working from a functional approach means getting to the root cause of health issues like infertility and repeat miscarriage. Unlike fertility specialists in conventional medicine that focus on forcing hormones to be within certain levels, I work with you to figure out why the hormones are are imbalanced in the first place and create personalized plans of action based on your genetics, health history, diet/lifestyle and biochemistry. There is so much genetic and biochemical variation between us that everyone’s needs are different. Traditional genetics often looks for potential disease states based on specific, isolated genes. Functional genomics looks for potential impairment of both function and genetic expression in entire metabolic pathways. It also helps find the best nutritional intervention (including detoxification) to bring the body back into balance.

As a coach, I am known for my unconditional acceptance and positive regard. I have watched every woman in my family restructure her life to match her unique set of family circumstances, so I never have any doubt that what my clients want is possible—because it is! However, I have four children of my own, so my approach is also grounded in reality and appreciation for the complexity of life.

Becoming Mental Health counseling is team of licensed mental health counselors dedicated to providing mental health support to parents in their journey though family planning to new parenthood, with a special focus on perinatal mood disorders. It was in my journey to parenthood that I learned how important having a "village" was. I also learned how limited access to mental healthcare and specially trained providers was. It was from there that I decided my way of contributing back to the village was going to be by creating a safe and accessible place to find mental health support. Its hard enough to ask for help but making a commitment and getting yourself somewhere can feel too overwhelming. We want you to have the support you deserve so sessions are offered in home and via video, as well as in office. We are also happy to be able to provide group options for postpartum as well as pregnancy and infant loss. Supporting parents in this time is so important and I am grateful to have this team of dedicated practitioners holding space and supporting parents wherever they are. - Elise Derevjanik, Practice Owner
