About
My name is Anita and I am a Certified Functional Medicine Health Coach. Having wrestled with various autoimmune diseases myself, I found transformative and lasting wellbeing with the help of the programs by leading functional medicine health practitioners: Mark Hyman (gut issues), Dr Jay Davidson and Dr Todd Watts (Lyme disease), Dr Terry Whals (chronic inflammation) and Dr Jolene Brighten (endometriosis).
After years of researching, reading and healing, I embarked on the journey to help healing others and became a functional medicine health coach.
I am also a certified Massage Therapist, and earned my MSc in Biology and my PhD in Cultural food and nutrition studies.
Testimonials
“Anita has been a wonderful coach and influence in my life. I feel that she really listens and cares. I especially appreciate her approach that focuses around self-love and mindfulness. She had taught me new ways of approaching my bad habits, coaching me to tune into myself and focus on the joys associated with forming habits that are actually good for me.”
Zia
“Anita has a unique capacity as a coach based on empathy and compassion. Her gift of asking the right questions allowed me to look into aspects of my life I would have never imagined were connected to my physical condition. With her support, I could go deep into my psyche and find the root causes of my illness. I have had many therapists and tried many methods throughout my life and can confidently say that I had never felt so supported, listened, valued and encouraged.
Manuel
“It’s been a pleasure for me to receive guidance from a health coach like Anita through our meetings. She is very receptive and compassionate and teaches you to slow down in the process of transformation and to learn how to listen to yourself, allowing you to have a better relationship with yourself..”

The Functional Medicine Approach
Complex chronic diseases are often the result of inadequate lifestyle choices. Conventional medicine primarily uses pharmaceutical drugs to manage pain and inflammation and so create an illusion of health, which often leads to new symptoms manifesting in the body. Functional medicine however offers a set of tools that can address the root causes of diseases- not only the symptoms- to restore and maintain balance and health.
As a functional medicine health coach, I help clients to achieve success with their lifestyle changes and bring balance in all 5 functional medicine pillars of life. These are food, rest, movement, relationships and stress.
