Where care, compassion, and expertise guide you to better health.
How can I support you?
A Holistic Nutritionist is a health professional who supports people to heal by addressing the root cause of health imbalances. Using a whole person approach that takes into consideration mental, physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual well-being, Holistic Nutritionists focus on natural interventions such as nutrition, lifestyle shifts, and targeted supplementation to help you achieve your health and wellness goals.
My areas of focus as a Certified Holistic Nutritionist include digestive health, hormone health, mental health, and supporting a heathy relationship with food.

Womanhood comes with many stages of hormonal change.
Learn to navigate your hormones with confidence at any age.

MENTAL HEALTH
"The way you eat and the way you’re living your life is so connected to your brain and how you feel. The way you eat can impact your neurons. It can create inflammation. It can slow down the speed of signals between neurons. It can impact your gut, which in turn impacts a lot of different hormones and molecules in your brain.”
- Jessie Inchauspe, Biochemist
Your mental health is closely tied to your nutrition and lifestyle.

Desirée Michelle Britton
CNP - Certified Nutritional Practitioner/ Holistic Nutritionist and Orthomolecular Health Practitioner
My journey toward understanding lifestyle and food as medicine started from a very young age. The passion I hold for natural health therapies stemmed from my personal experiences of moving through severe and unresolved digestive issues as a child, which led toward chronic respiratory infections, anxiety, and other health concerns as an adolescent and early adult. It took me years of exploring various forms of support before I was finally able to find the health and vitality I now enjoy. Standing on the other side of the issues I have faced, I hold a deep sense of compassion for those experiencing chronic unresolved health conditions, as well as immeasurable dedication for supporting the journey toward optimal health.
Our minds and bodies are intricately connected and it is my mission to help you bridge the gap in communication between the two. As a Holistic Nutritionist the heart of my work lies in the mind-body relationship and I strive to provide support in both areas, ultimately holding the knowledge that wellbeing in one is most achievable with support from the other.

WHOLE PERSON APPROACH
"The part can never be well unless the whole is well." - Plato
Your health is the result of not only your diet, but also your mental, emotional, relational, and spiritual well-being. All aspects are considered when supporting your health journey.
