Ancient Roots Nutrition

About

My Story

Hello, my name is Dana . I'm a holistic nutritionist with a deep passion to connect and support women who are going through the wonderful season of peri and post menopause. Yes! I say wonderful, because it should be the peak of our life time, a new beginning and not a time of decline.

That's where i come in.

I am a child of God, a wife, a mother of four and a proud grandma, so I understand the many challenges of life.

My journey for healing started after my burnout in 2015, triggered by the good, but busy and stressful life of being a mom of four homeschooled kids, a homemaker, a hobby farmer and by the onset of perimenopause. I didn't know what was happening to me, but one thing was for sure: my body was 'loudly' talking to me, sending me signals, but, of course, I ignored them. I was tired a lot, crashing in early afternoon, gaining weight and very anxious. Then it got worse: I could not slow down, I was tired but wired, so I couldn't sleep, eat, cook or take care of basic things. Doctors could not help me, so as a Christian, I turned closer to God and my faith and felt strongly about going back to school to learn how to change my health for the better. As i got better, with it a passion was born for applying what I learned and make a difference in others life.

As a woman, a NNCP, and life coach I understand how important it is to have understanding, care and support during life's trials; support i wish i had.

If any of these resonates with you, YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

Transform your life - you owe it to yourself to feel amazing again,

just because you can!

- My Philosophy -

HOLISTIC APPROACH - Supporting the Whole Woman — Not Just the Symptoms.

Perimenopause and menopause are not problems to fix — they are transitions that require a different kind of care.

My holistic approach is designed to support women through midlife by addressing the root causes behind hormonal imbalance, fatigue, digestive issues, stress, and burnout — not just managing surface-level symptoms.

Everything is connected. When we support the whole system, the body has the opportunity to rebalance, restore, and thrive.

A Personalized, Compassionate Process

There is no one-size-fits-all solution for midlife health.

Your coaching experience is personalized, flexible, and rooted in compassion. We move at a pace that feels supportive — not overwhelming — and adapt as your body and life evolve.

This is about:

   - Understanding your body
  - Rebuilding trust with it
  - Creating sustainable change that lasts beyond any program

The goal isn’t perfection.
It’s balance, energy, confidence, and resilience — so you can feel at home in your body during this powerful phase of life.

Your body isn’t broken. It’s communicating.

I believe true wellness comes from addressing the whole person, not just symptoms. Hormonal shifts, gut health, stress, sleep, movement, and mindset are deeply connected—especially during perimenopause and menopause.

Feel Like yourself Again!

As a Holistic Nutritionist and Life Coach, I work with women that are experiencing:

Hormonal shifts, mood changes, or stubborn weight gain
Digestive issues, bloating, or gut discomfort
Chronic stress, burnout, or poor sleep
Low energy, brain fog, or loss of motivation
Confusion about nutrition and fitness in perimenopause or menopause

You don’t need another diet. You need a holistic plan that works with your hormones and your life.

- my Approach -

Hormone-Supportive Nutrition

Nutrition needs change during perimenopause and menopause. I focus on balanced, nourishing, hormone-supportive eating that stabilizes blood sugar, supports digestion, and fuels energy — without restriction or extremes.

This is about learning how to eat for your hormones, not against them.

Gut Health and Digestion Support

Your gut plays a critical role in hormone balance, immune health, and overall vitality.

We work to support digestion, reduce bloating and discomfort, and improve nutrient absorption through nutrition, lifestyle habit and targeted support - helping your body do what its designed to do.

Stress, Burnout and Nervous System Support

Chronic stress can amplify hormonal symptoms, disrupt digestion, and drain energy.

Together we will focus on practical strategies that work for you to regulate the nervous system, improve sleep, and build resilience — so your body feels safe enough to heal and rebalance.

Lifestyle Habits that Support Real Life

Stress, Burnout and Nervous System Support

Wellness doesn’t happen in isolation — it happens in daily routines.

Together, we can build simple, realistic habits around sleep, boundaries, nourishment, movement, and self-care that support long-term health without adding overwhelm.

Fitness & Movement for Midlife

Gentle Herbs and Supplement Guidance

More intensity isn’t always better — especially during hormonal transition.

I guide women toward strength-building, hormone-friendly movement that supports metabolism, bone health, energy, and longevity while reducing stress on the body. Movement should feel empowering, not punishing.

Gentle Herbs and Supplement Guidance

When appropriate, I offer thoughtful, education-based guidance around gentle herbs and supplements to support hormonal balance, digestion, energy, and stress response. This is never a “pill for every symptom” approach.
Foundational nutrition and lifestyle always come first — with targeted support used intentionally, safely, and in alignment with your individual needs.
