Mariette Leufkens

Holistic Nutritionist. Address the underlying nutritional imbalances that are driving your health issues.

Mariette Leufkens - about

Hello!

I’m Mariette Leufkens, a California-based Registered Holistic Nutritionist.

I believe that food can truly heal or harm us!

I experienced this first hand after I uncovered my food sensitivities and removed the foods that were causing my sluggish state and inflammation. Anti- inflammatory foods then became my most effective ally. My story starts with how in my early forties I suffered severe nerve and joint pains in my arms, hands and shoulders. My inability to use my hands forced me to close down my 19-year practice as an integrative massage and bodywork practitioner.The story ends with me finally taking my health and life into my hands by implementing a huge dietary change. By addressing the underlying nutritional imbalances that were driving my health issues, I finally experienced a lasting transformation!

This wake-up call ignited a revolution within me that taught me how to participate in my wellbeing at a deeper level. Inspired by my own healing journey, I became passionate about functional medicine and holistic nutrition. I went back to school and became a Registered Holistic Nutritionist.

When given foods and nutrients that truly nourish us, our bodies have an amazing ability to heal and rebalance from the inside out.

We find ourselves in a broken relationship with our food system. We are surrounded by and bombarded with processed and chemically treated foods — these foods don’t nourish us, instead they rob our brains of nutrients.When we eat poor quality foods we are dipping into the nutrient reserves of our body.

What inspires me is a more personalized approach to health that recognizes the biological uniqueness of each person. Yes, you too can feel much better and participate in your own wellbeing at a deeper level.

Let’s take charge, and walk the path together.
