my approach
I don’t chase symptoms. I listen to the body.
Every client brings a unique story. Using Quantum Nutrition Testing (QNT), a precise, non-invasive muscle testing method, I work through a structured sequence to find where your body appears to be under stress and where nutritional and lifestyle support may be indicated.
Sessions are available in person at my homestead office in Finlayson, Minnesota, or by remote consultation over video or phone. I practice QNT, Nutrition Response Testing, Cellcore Biosciences protocols, functional nutrition, and holistic lifestyle coaching to build a plan that fits the person in front of me.
My process is sequential, and the sequence is the point. A full assessment first. Then a Report of Findings, where I show you what I found and lay out a plan. Then phased work: regulation and stabilization first, deeper correction second, maintenance third. Nothing gets forced. Everything follows what the assessment shows.
A note on what this is and is not. I hold an MA in Health Arts and Sciences from Goddard College and I am a Certified Holistic Health Practitioner through Trinity School of Natural Health. I am also board certified doctor in holistic health through the American Natural Wellness Practitioners Board. These are academic and professional credentials, not state medical licenses. I am not a licensed physician, and I do not diagnose or treat disease. Nothing I provide replaces medical care from a licensed provider. If your situation needs medical attention, I will tell you so and refer you.
my story
I didn’t choose holistic health — it chose me.
I didn't choose holistic health. It chose me.
Like many of my clients, I came to this after years of looking for answers to my own chronic health challenges and not finding them. I was tired of feeling like I was managing something instead of understanding it.
When I finally sat down with someone who used muscle testing and root-cause nutrition, it changed how I ate, how I lived, and how I thought about my own health. That experience is why I do this work.
I went back to school, earned my master's degree, and pursued advanced training in muscle testing, functional nutrition, and holistic coaching. Today I practice from a quiet homestead in the Minnesota north woods, working with people who have tried a lot of things and are still looking.
From Navy Chief to holistic practitioner
Before this, I served 20 years in the U.S. Navy as a Chief Cryptologist. I later spent 19 years in information security across telecom and finance.
I also served as a CREDO retreat facilitator, a Command Alcohol and Drug Advisor, and a certified Navy instructor as a Master Training Specialist. Those roles taught me how to work through complex systems methodically, how to listen, and how to stay steady with people who are struggling. That is the same work I do now, in a different setting.
I live and practice on our homestead in Finlayson. When I am not working with clients, you will find me working the land, spending time with my two grown sons and their families, or streaming Morning Coffee with Doc Jeff.
I am not here to be a guru. I am here as your guide, walking alongside you while you do the work.
