Meet Your Practitioner
Hi, I'm Rebekah 👋
I'm a Board Certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Advanced Practice Holistic Nurse with over 10 years of experience. I created Essential Integrative Health & Wellness because I kept seeing women dismissed by the conventional medical system — told their labs were "fine" while they felt anything but.
I built this practice to be the place where women finally get answers. Where we look at your hormones, gut health, metabolism, and lifestyle together — because your health is a whole picture, not just a single number on a lab result.
Understanding Your Health
What Is Functional Wellness?
Functional Wellness is an approach that asks "why" instead of just treating symptoms. Rather than simply managing a condition with medication, we dig deeper to uncover the root causes of what's going on in your body.
This means looking at your gut health, hormonal balance, inflammation levels, nutrient status, and lifestyle factors — all together. Because the truth is, your body systems don't work in isolation. Your hormones affect your weight. Your gut affects your mood. Your stress affects everything.
Functional Wellness uses advanced testing and personalized protocols to create a complete picture of your health — so we can build a plan that actually works for your body.
Why It Matters
What Functional Wellness Can Do For You
Sustainable Weight Loss
Stop guessing why the scale won't move. We identify the metabolic, hormonal, and inflammatory barriers keeping your body in fat-storage mode — and build a real plan to reverse them.
Hormone & Wellness Insights
Fatigue, mood swings, brain fog, low libido? Our bioresonance hair analysis provides valuable insights into potential hormonal imbalances and sensitivities — giving you a clearer picture of what may be contributing to how you feel.
Improved Mental Health
Your gut health is deeply connected to your mood and mental clarity. Our GI Map testing and wellness programs help support a healthier gut-brain connection naturally.
Boosted Energy & Vitality
Chronic fatigue, afternoon crashes, and waking up unrefreshed are signs your body needs support. Our wellness programs help identify contributing lifestyle, nutritional, and gut health factors.
Stress & Inflammation Support
Stress and inflammation affect nearly every system in the body. Our bioresonance analysis and GI Map can provide insights into stress markers and inflammation contributors to guide your wellness plan.
Whole-Body Transformation
Better sleep, clearer skin, improved digestion, stable moods, and a stronger immune system — functional wellness works across every system because everything is connected.
You Are Not Alone
Are You a Woman Who…
Has gained weight even though nothing in your diet has changed?
Feels exhausted no matter how much you rest or sleep?
Has been told your bloodwork is 'normal' but you know something isn't right?
Feels dismissed, rushed, or not heard by your doctor?
Is dealing with mood swings, brain fog, or unexplained anxiety?
Suspects your hormones are off but no one will take a deeper look?
Has tried diet after diet with no lasting results?
Wants natural solutions — not just another prescription?
If you answered yes to any of these — you're exactly who we're here for. 🌸
You're not "just getting older." You're not imagining it. And you deserve a provider who takes the time to find out what's really going on.
Our Testing
We Test What Most Doctors Don't
We use specialized wellness assessments to give you deeper insights into what may be going on in your body.
Please note: these are wellness assessments, not diagnostic tests. They are designed to provide insights and guide your personalized wellness plan — not to diagnose, treat, or replace medical care.
Hair Bioresonance Analysis
A non-invasive wellness assessment using a small hair sample that provides insights into possible sensitivities and deficiencies across a wide range of areas — helping guide your personalized wellness plan.
GI Map Testing
A comprehensive stool analysis that provides a detailed look at your gut microbiome — including bacteria balance, potential pathogens, parasites, and markers of gut health and digestion.
