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.

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.

💜 If you’re new here (or it’s been a while)… hi, friend 👋 I’m Christa.

I’m a Licensed Massage Therapist and a Christian Functional Health Coach recently relocated to Palm Bay FL. I help women (in person and virtually) with fatigue, chronic pain, autoimmune and connective tissue disorders feel better in the bodies God gave them.

I began doing this work as God brought me through my own season of exhaustion, pain, and frustration with conventional medicine to experience healing in ways I had never considered. Now, I walk beside women who are ready to tackle their health, one small step at a time.

The functional approach to health is all about finding root causes and helping the body to work better and heal itself, not just mask symptoms. It's not a quick fix, but it is natural support to help your body work the way God made it.

If you’ve been praying for a clear path forward for your health and hoping for a guide with a biblical worldview… you’re in the right place.

Ever heard of biological age?
It’s the idea that your body and cells can be aging faster or slower than your actual age.

Think of it like this: we all know smoking can speed up aging.
But a new study shows that a poor diet can, too—even in your 20s.

🧬 Researchers studied twins aged 20–25 and found:

🥦 Diets high in fruits and veggies = slower biological aging
🍔 Diets high in fast food, red meat, and sugary drinks = faster biological aging

They used something called “epigenetic clocks”—a way to measure cellular aging.
And even after factoring in exercise, weight, and smoking… diet still made a big impact.

✨ This reminds me why our everyday choices matter—not just for how we feel, but as an act of stewardship.

Taking care of your health isn’t about chasing youth or perfection.
It’s about stewarding the gift God gave you—your body—so you can serve well, live well, and show up for the life He’s called you to.

So yes, I’ll keep encouraging more fruits and veggies 😉
Because it’s about so much more than food—it’s about faith-led wellness that lasts.

That 3PM crash?
Not a caffeine problem—your body might just need movement.

Try this instead:
✔️ Walk outside
✔️ Stretch or desk yoga
✔️ 20 squats or jumping jacks
✔️ Stand up for a bit

💛 Movement = better circulation, happier mood, more energy.

Food affects your stress more than you might think.

Blood sugar crashes = cortisol spikes = more stress on your body.

Support your stress response with:

✔️ Protein + fat for breakfast
✔️ Don’t skip meals
✔️ Pair carbs with protein/fiber
✔️ Limit processed foods

🌿 A steady body helps build a steady mind.

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.
