Greetings!

  I'm Chrissy, a Registered and Licensed Dietitian and trained Clinical Herbalist and passionate about natural healing.  (I completed my BA at Castleton State College, my RD at University of New Hampshire and completed an apprenticeship and advanced training at the Boston School of Herbal Studies.)  My approach harmonizes science and soul—designed for those who are disappointed with the medical system, yet still believe in the power in re-connecting to body wisdom.  True healing requires truth-telling through our connection to our bodies, to our emotions, and to the sacred within us.  We just need to listen to the cues.  I created Nurturing Remedies 14 years ago to practice nutrition and herbal therapy in a way that reflects my philosophy on health and well being and to create a space of compassion, skill, and trust.  I continue to learn and evolve from my most treasured teachers- my clients.  I gained valuable  experience working at hospitals, re-habs, long term care facilities, clinics and community based programs but a natural healing approach in a nurturing warm environment was severely lacking.  Starting years ago, my approach was always client centered (not disease centered) honoring each person's individual story, goals, challenges, and biochemical make up. Uncovering the root causes and promoting balance  is the driving force of healing.  My goal is to help you find those strategies that will assist and enhance your body, mind, and spirit's natural healing abilities by using food, herbs, lifestyle, nutrition supplements tailored to YOU.  

I've "simmered" down my approach to:
