About Annika

Hey there, my name is Annika! I’m a holistic nutritionist and functional medicine practitioner, and I’ve been working in the holistic wellness space since 2015.

I’ve found that most of our mental (and physical) health imbalances can be narrowed down to two major areas: nervous system regulation and nutrient deficiencies. That’s why it’s my passion to help women transform and alchemize the effects of stress and trauma in their body with functional medicine and somatic healing.

In my 20’s I struggled with a nervous system stuck in the survival response, as well as experiencing complex PTSD symptoms from years of past trauma. I had lots of chronic digestive issues, got sick often, felt anxious and unfulfilled in the jobs I had, had social anxiety, fatigue and hormone imbalances. This was NOT how I wanted to feel the rest of my life! I wanted a sustainable, holistic solution to support my mind and body.

So I went back to school to focus on holistic mental health, functional medicine and holistic trauma education. I supported the foundations of my health. I got targeted functional testing done so I knew what nutrients my body needed. I used somatic practices to create safety in my body.

I now had real answers and a roadmap to balance my mind and body! The panic attacks finally stopped, my digestion was improving and I was feeling SAFE in my body. Best of all, I was feeling present, calmer and really excited about my future! I was finally THRIVING, not just surviving! (Which allowed me to quit my desk job and go full-time as a wellness practitioner btw!)
