MA 107945/MM 47091 Hi, I'm Christa. MA 107945/MM 47091

I am so glad you are here! I’m a Christian Functional Health Coach and Licensed Massage Therapist with a certification in Functional Nutrition Counseling and advanced training in Functional Bloodwork Analysis and Clinical HTMA. Since 2018, I’ve been helping Christian women uncover the root causes behind chronic fatigue, pain, and digestive struggles—so they can feel like themselves again.

December usually means overindulgence, busy schedules, and stress.
That combination puts real strain on digestion.

In January, digestion doesn't need a cleanse or a detox.
It needs rest and recovery.

The basics of digestive support are simple:
✔️ Adequate stomach acid
✔️ Digestive enzymes
✔️ Magnesium
When digestion is supported gently, minerals absorb better, energy steadies, and the body can actually recover.

January shouldn't be about forcing a reset, but it is a great time to let your digestive system reset gently.

If you want to know more about gently restoring your digestion and are ready for a clear, personalized plan,
schedule a Discovery Call to see if the Mineral Balance Blueprint is what you've been looking for.

It's a new year. Shouldn't your body should feel refreshed by now? 😉
We all know pain and stiffness don't reset just because the calendar changed.

It's frustrating when your body still feels slow or sore, and it can create that quiet fear that this is just how life is now.

Ongoing pain doesn't mean your body is broken.
It often means it hasn't had the chance to recover properly.

Setting intentions in January includes acknowledging where your body really is, but it doesn't mean you have to accept that it will stay that way.

If you're a mom or grandma ready to move more with less pain, schedule your Functional Mobility Session today.

January feels like a fresh start, but the pressure to start new things usually competes with my desperate need to take a deep breath and rest.

December is full emotionally, physically, and spiritually.
Even when it's all good, it's still a lot.
So instead of starting over, I use January to set the pace for the new year.
To slow down.
To pray and listen.
To let my body catch up.

You don't need a new version of yourself this month.
You need space to recover and clarity to move forward well.

This month we'll be talking about digestion, minerals, and steady foundations -- not quick resets or hustle.

This a MUCH better recommendation, although I would start the recommended protein at 1.6g/kg.

Minerals are co-factors of every process in the body. When they’re deficient or out of balance, everything feels harder. Your body is trying to run with no spark plugs.

At Nurture we use HTMA testing to identify mineral patterns that affect energy, hormones, digestion, and mood and then create a simple plan to restore your mineral balance. I call it the Mineral Balance Blueprint.

The Mineral Balance Blueprint Plus package combines Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) with functional bloodwork to create a more complete picture of what your body needs.

This package helps us see how your minerals, hormones, liver, thyroid, and metabolic systems are working together or where they may be under strain both in real time and for the past few months. By interpreting these tests through a functional lens, we can identify patterns of imbalance and create a plan that supports your unique body.

Your recommendations may include customized supplements, specific food and hydration strategies, and practical lifestyle guidance, rooted in evidence-based protocols and from a biblical worldview.

This is for the woman who’s ready for deeper clarity on chronic or complex issues or just looking for the bigger picture to stop managing symptoms and rebuild health.

The Mineral Balance Blueprint is my core functional health coaching service. I use a test called Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) to reveal what’s happening beneath the surface of your health.

I test your mineral levels and ratios, interpret the results, and create a personalized plan to reduce oxidative stress and improve mineral usage throughout the body. Your recommendations may include customized supplements, nourishing food choices, and lifestyle guidance — all designed to support your body.

Improving your mineral status can improve fatigue, hormonal changes, digestion, pain, and stress by rebuilding the foundation your body depends on for energy and resilience.

It’s not about quick fixes or perfect routines — it’s about giving your body what it truly needs.

✨ Curious what your mineral status might reveal?

At Nurture, Functional Mobility Sessions are outcome-focused therapeutic massage appointments. I combine common massage and advanced bodywork techniques to address the root of pain and restriction. Bodywork (or manual therapy) can improve function in every system in the body - not just the musculoskeletal system.

Each session is personalized and may include neuromuscular therapy, visceral manipulation, cupping, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF), and other targeted massage modalities.
The goal is always: restore functional movement, reduce pain, and support the body’s ability to heal.

This isn’t about temporary relaxation; it’s about creating real, lasting change in how your body feels and performs.

Whether you’re managing chronic pain, fatigue, or movement limitations, digestive issues, nervous system issues, poor sleep, or the aches and pains of pregnancy, these sessions help your body function the way God designed.

Welcome to Nurture Well for Life!

Some of you have been with me since I started the journey of helping women feel better in Maryland several years ago. (I love you all and miss you terribly! ) When I moved to Florida, I found that the business name Nurture Wellness was already taken. (Some of you helped me to brainstorm new names - thank you!) God used that prompt me to consider just what this new season of life and business might be. Nurture Well for Life isn’t just a new name; it is a clearer reflection of the mission He placed on my heart — to help women care for their bodies, give themselves grace, learn about how their bodies work, and how even tiny consistent steps create can create changes for the rest of your life. We want to age gracefully (trust me on this - the second half is awesome), but that doesn't mean inevitable aging into weakness or frailty. No matter what season you are in, there are things to do to make yourself just a little bit stronger, a little more "healthy," and I'd love to walk alongside you while you do.

If you've been around a while, you may also notice I no longer use the title “Functional Nutrition Counselor.” Florida licensing laws don’t allow me to use that title, but the education and experience gained from obtaining that certification remains part of the care I provide as a Christian Functional Health Coach.

What hasn’t changed? Me! I'm still all about practical, evidence-based support grounded in a biblical worldview.

Encouraging Growth

When we nurture something, we are encouraging growth - physical, mental, or spiritual. We can effect positive change in ourselves and others in so many ways, but it is hard to be a positive presence when you don’t feel well. Physical pain, stress, illness, emotional distress...they all intertwine in our lives and bring us below the line we call “wellness.” Whether you have a specific problem you need to address or are looking to implement healthier changes to your home or routine Nurture Wellness and Massage is here to help. We offer integrative Massage Therapy and Aromatherapy services as well as products and information to help you on your journey to more toxin-free living.
