Holistic Nutrition Coaching
The Philosophy
The Deserted Forest is about allowing your body to do what nature built it to do - heal. Whether you are suffering from chronic pain, fatigue digestive upset, Crohn's Disease, Colitis, Endometriosis,
or more...
By nourishing your body from the roots, diversifying your diet, re-aligning your rhythms, and finding peace within yourself - healing becomes truly possible.
Because you know healing is possible
Chronic Disease Doesn't Have to Rule Your Life...
As a person diagnosed with chronic disease in my teens, I know the pain and disappointment of those words "there is no cure." But I'm here to tell you that doesn't mean that living with chronic pain, stress, fatigue, digestive problems, and more has to be your normal.
Chronic disease is most often the result of a disruptive environment (think pollutants, pesticides, ultra-processed foods, and a culture that pushes productivity over rest) causing systemic stress and inflammation. While inflammation is a necessary and very important part of our immune system, if left unchecked it can wreak havoc across the body. This leads to symptoms of pain, digestive distress, mood imbalances, hormone irregulation, and eventually full blow disease.
The good news? You can calm your body. With support from whole foods (rich in the very vitamins and nutrients your body is craving), a diverse diet (to enrich your microbiome and support immune health), incorporating a daily rhythm (importance of the circadian cycle anyone?), and eventually re-instilling peace throughout the body - you'll be able to remove the noise and allow your body to do what it was built to do; heal.
Why starting from the GUT matters...
Did you know that the human body is home to trillions of microbes—outnumbering our own human cells?
This vast ecosystem, known as the microbiome, is a complex network of bacteria, microflora, and microfauna that plays a critical role in the health of every organ system throughout the body.
The microbiome is deeply influenced by our environment, nutrition, lifestyle, and daily stressors. When this delicate balance is disrupted—by factors such as ultra-processed foods, chronic stress, poor sleep, or environmental exposures—it can impact far more than digestive health. Imbalances have been linked to changes in brain function, metabolism, skin health, mood, and hormonal regulation.
This is why we start with the gut. As the foundation of our health, it serves as a central root system for nourishment, communication, and restoration within the body. By supporting and healing the gut, we can replenish essential nutrients, restore balance, and revitalize the body from within.
About Jaclyn
Hello all & welcome to a safe space where you are at the center of your care, your autonomy matters, and you have someone on your side who truly knows that you can heal.
I've spent the last decade and a half diving deep into the causes of chronic disease (my own journey began with a Crohn's Disease diagnosis at 17 years old). Over the years I've incorporated healing modalities from all around the world, read the research, and found out that healing is truly possible. Sometimes we just need a little support.
As a Holistic Nutritionist, I prioritize and value a whole foods first foundation. I truly believe that nature provides all the medicine we need to heal. My favorite place to start? Tea! Herbal tea offers a powerhouse of liquid nutrition to the body, beginning the healing process in a way that is easy to implement and easy to digest (literally).
When you choose to work with me we will take a gentle approach to overcoming chronic disease; one that incorporates joy into your diet, peace throughout your day, and long-term success for a lifetime of becoming the person you always knew you could be.
