Meet The Team
Mary Kate Fuller, MS, CNS, LDN, CHHP
Integrative Clinical Nutritionist
Licensed Functional 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.
​​
Mary Kate received her Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from Temple University and her Master of Science Degree in Clinical Nutrition and Integrative Health from Maryland University of Integrative Health. She is a Licensed Dietitian Nutritionist, Board-Certified Nutrition Specialist and Board-Certified Holistic Health Practitioner.

Kayla Martin, MS, CNS, LDN
Integrative Clinical Nutritionist
Kayla Martin is a Board-Certified Nutrition Specialist who specializes in functional nutrition to promote healing and optimize health and wellbeing. A functional nutrition model considers the whole body and mind, including factors such as food, sleep, stress, and the environment before creating an individualized nutrition plan.
Kayla believes food can be medicine, but it doesn’t have to be the central focus of every single day or take up someone’s entire brain space. She loves helping people improve their life with food without making it an unhealthy obsession.
Kayla entered the world of nutrition after years of struggling with an eating disorder herself, so she
knows how challenging it can be to make changes around nutrition and the way we perceive our
bodies. She understands that your health is determined by how you feel, not how you look and
she utilizes lab work, health histories, and her client's invaluable insight on their own bodies to
create individualized nutrition plans to meet their unique needs.
Kayla has worked in public health for many years, teaching hundreds of children in Title One
schools and adults who qualify for public assistance. She’s passionate about working with people
who have resource restrictions and helping them come up with creative ways that they can reach
the health goals they once thought were out of reach!
She has experience working with digestive disorders, hormonal concerns, eating disorders and
metabolic syndrome. She weaves her background in psychology into her client care to support her client’s mental and emotional health. As an avid trail runner, Kayla also enjoys working with other female athletes.
Kayla received her Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Pepperdine University and her Master's Degree in Human Nutrition from the University of Bridgeport. She earned her Certified Nutrition Specialist (CNS) credential from the American Nutrition Association. She has specialty training as a Functional Medicine Health Coach and integrates all three educational experiences into her nutrition counseling.
Kayla lives in Missoula, Montana and enjoys trail running, exploring in the mountains, and traveling to new places with her partner and black lab named Tiny.
