Meet Emily, Founder & Lead Consultant
BOARD CERTIFIED PHYSICIAN ASSISTANT
FUNCTIONAL GUT HEALTH CONSULTANT
SKIN HEALTH EXPERT
My name is Emily Burger. I am a wife and mother of four! I have dedicated the past 11 years of my life as a Dermatology PA treating a multitude of chronic conditions like acne, rosacea, psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, eczema, hair loss, and autoimmune skin disease. What I have learned on my journey as a PA in the conventional medicine model is that we are failing our patients on a daily basis.
The current healthcare system is a vicious cycle of diagnose and prescribe, and nobody is really looking for the WHY. Instead, it is just reaching for that temporary band-aid to manage/mask symptoms rather than finding and addressing the root cause. I see on a daily basis the frustration and hopelessness people have with their chronic symptoms that aren't getting better with the western medicine approach.
This inspired me to start my virtual consulting practice! In this role, I serve clients as a functional medicine health consultant. When you sign on to be one of our clients, it is like having a private practitioner holding your hand and guiding you every step of the way on your wellness journey!
I believe that true health begins in the gut, and I am passionate about starting where it all begins and helping you achieve true wellness that will last a lifetime. One thing that I can guarantee our private clients: you will feel seen, validated, and empowered to take control of your health. Most importantly, you will regain HOPE.
Meet Nicole, Nervous System Regulation Specialist
OTD
Hi, I’m Nicole! I am passionate about nervous system regulation as the most effective way to heal the body once and for all. Your gut has its own nervous system, which contains over 200 million neurons. So, of course, how you feel physically, mentally, and emotionally is going to impact your gut health; and your gut health is going to impact how you feel.
That’s where learning to regulate all parts of your nervous system and working with me come into play. I will teach you how to regulate your nervous system so that you can be fully present in your body and create calm in the everyday.
Your happiness is a direct reflection of your habits, rituals, and routines. Occupational therapy is the art and science of engaging in meaningful, everyday activities. I integrate occupational therapy based strategies with somatic and spiritual practices to clear trauma, anxiety, and panic attacks. I am also trained in sensory integration, clinical hypnosis, and Rapid Resolution Therapy.
When I’m not talking nerdy science, I am living my best life with my maltipoo, Brinkley, just outside of Austin, Texas. I enjoy singing, dancing, and cooking, often all at the same time, as well as hiking and traveling the world. I work in a hospital, in the inpatient rehab unit and soon, also the NICU.
I never ask my clients to do anything I haven’t already tested for myself, and I am happy to report that I recently completed Emily’s 6 month program, with incredible results. I am grateful to be a part of this team and look forward to connecting with you. Your transformation awaits.
Meet Hannah, Certified Functional Nutrition Health Coach
Hi, I'm Hannah! I passionately believe in helping people find healing by getting to the root cause rather than treating the symptoms. In college I received a Bachelor’s Degree in Exercise Science with a minor in Health Promotion and Fitness from Houghton University, with the plan of pursuing a career in conventional medicine.
After dealing with various personal chronic GI issues and hormone imbalances, finding little to no help from western medicine, I found myself on a path of seeking help from functional medicine. This is where I learned about treating the root cause and eventually found healing through diet and lifestyle modifications. This inspired me to pursue a career helping others who are experiencing similar problems as the ones I faced!
I believe the food that we eat can and should be used as medicine! I am passionate about helping clients learn how to do this all while still enjoying the meals they create.
Joining Emily's team felt like a perfect fit, as her dedication to root cause healing through treating the gut resonated with my own passion for serving others. It’s a great pleasure to be part of her team, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to support you on your healing journey!
