About Ralene
A Whole-Person Approach to Feeling Well
I'm a dedicated mom of three energetic boys, a farmer's wife, and a passionate community volunteer. But before any of that, I was someone who spent years searching for answers my doctors couldn't give me.
When I was in my twenties, my health started unraveling. It took leaving my dream career as a hairstylist — and realizing the environment I worked in was quietly making me sick — before I started feeling like myself again. Then life kept moving, kids arrived, and my health took another hit. That's when I found functional nutrition.
What I discovered wasn't a quick fix. There was no pill to take. What there was — and still is — was the understanding that the body is always communicating, and when we learn to listen, real healing becomes possible.
The Turn That Changed Everything
That realization didn't just change my health — it changed the direction of my entire life. I went back to school, completed my certification in Holistic Nutrition, and graduated from The Funk'tional Nutritional Academy. I'm currently studying Nutrigenomics — the science of using nutrition to intentionally support your genetic expression — because precision is the future of personalized health, and I am always learning.
My path to understanding whole-person wellness goes back even further. In 2009, I completed a Clinical Hypnotherapy program and ran my own practice before my family became my full-time focus. Those years deepened my belief in the mind-body connection — that our thoughts, emotions, and habits don't just affect how we feel mentally, they shape our physiology in very real ways.
I'm also a 500-hour Registered Yoga Teacher, and for the past 25 years, essential oils have been woven into my daily life. All of this — the health struggles, the studies, the yoga mat, the farm, the chaos and beauty of raising a family — is what I bring into my work with every client.
How I Work With You
My approach isn't about managing symptoms. It's about finding the why.
Functional Testing
We go deeper than standard bloodwork. Functional lab testing reveals the root causes that conventional medicine often overlooks — hormones, gut health, nutrient status, and more.
Nutrigenomics
Your genes aren't your destiny — they're your starting point. I use nutritional genomics to craft personalized protocols that work with your unique genetic blueprint.
Whole-Person Wellness
You are not a set of lab results. Your story, your stress, your environment, your lifestyle — it all matters. I see the whole picture, not just the numbers.

Beyond the Clinic
When I'm not working with clients, I'm chasing three energetic boys around a farm, volunteering in my community, and finding joy in the everyday rituals that keep me grounded — yoga, oils, good food, and long walks in fresh air.
My life is my philosophy. I don't just teach this stuff. I live it.
