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

I have been a personal trainer for 12 years and have worked with every kind of client from the morbidly obese, to those recovering from an injury, to those just looking to stay in shape, to elite athletes training for competition. That said, none of my work has been as rewarding as the pre- and postnatal training I have done. I came to training through my martial arts practice and had no pre- or postnatal training experience when my very first client got pregnant. I went straight to Barnes and Nobles and after some time there, picked up "The Pilates Pregnancy" by Mari Winsor. I was hooked. I've always known I wanted to be a father (well okay, just since I was seven) and studying pregnancy from a personal training perspective was fascinating and something I became very passionate about. When it came time to renew my CPT certification, I opted for the Women's Health certification that covered pre- and postnatal training. I have maintained the certification and taken the course whenever it has been offered through the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM). Over the years, I have helped six women (including my wife) through their pregnancies. Once they have been cleared by their doctor to begin working out again, I have then helped them regain their bodies. I am completely in awe of what women's bodies are capable of and struck by the fact that no two pregnancies are, or will ever be, the same. My wife and I made the decision that having a home birth was the best option for us and after being there every step of the way for the 15 hours of labor I can honestly tell you there was no greater moment in my life than when my son was born. My wife was incredible. Our midwife actually told me while my wife was pushing that "she'd never seen a first time mom instinctively know how to push like that." Now don't get me wrong, my wife did ALL the work, but I would like to think all of the work we had done together getting her ready to push played some small role in how well prepared she was when the time came.
