The Full Story

Hi, I’m Jess – Your Functional Nutritionist

I help people with chronic health issues who aren’t getting results with their current protocol. Using science-backed nutrition therapy, functional lab testing, and personalized coaching, I guide my clients toward long-term wellness. Passionate about the body's intricacies and the impact of nutrition, I obtained my Bachelor's degree in Neuroscience. Facing my health issues, such as fatigue, chronic yeast infections, hair thinning, and moodiness, I embarked on a quest. After years of research, doctor visits, and consultations, I decided to pursue my Masters Degree in Nutrition and Functional Medicine from University of Western States. From there,  Wellness by the Waves was born. Committed to guiding others towards holistic well-being utilizing the power of nutrition and lifestyle changes, I blend science with compassion to empower individuals on their wellness journeys.

Why I Do This

Health isn’t just about following generic advice—it’s about understanding your body’s unique needs.

My passion for nutrition and functional medicine comes from my health struggles with fatigue, hair thinning, chronic yeast infections, and mood swings.

I believe in empowering my clients with the knowledge, tools, and support they need to take control of their health. Whether you’re struggling with:
- Gut issues (bloating, IBS, food sensitivities, etc.)
- Hormone imbalances (PMS, PCOS, thyroid dysfunction, etc.)
- Energy crashes & fatigue
- Unexplained symptoms that won’t go away

… I’m here to help you uncover the missing pieces and build a plan that actually works.
