​Integrative Clinical Nutritionist, Mary Kate Gowdy, works with you in a holistically focused manner to find the deep-rooted reasoning behind symptoms, disorders and illness whether that be physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual.  She focuses on natural healing methods including food as medicine, quality supplements, movement and stress reduction techniques to help support healing from the source, rather than masking symptoms. 

​

With the varied nutritional information out there today, it can get confusing on what to do when it comes to the foods you consume.  It can be confusing because true healing is never one size fits all and every individual is unique.  Your personal dietary needs depend on genetics, medications, specific nutrient deficiencies, possible food intolerances or sensitivities, your upbringing and medical history, your ability to digest your foods optimally, traumas and so much more.

​

Nutrition is a science; it is medicine, and it is deeply personal - therefore Mary Kate spends time with you in order to create a completely personalized plan to bring balance back to the body and mind.  When we utilize essential nutrition, the body then has the building blocks needed to function optimally, balance and heal. This, in turn, sets the stage for a happy and healthy life.

​

True nutrition should not be seen as a ‘diet’ in the way of restriction, guilt or deprivation.  Rather it should be seen as the ultimate act of self-love.  It’s a way of listening to your body, being mindful of ones needs and intentionally nourishing your body and mind each and every day.  Mary Kate helps you get there.
