Client Stories
Allie and I started working together when she approached me with uncontrolled IBS, unsure what she could eat without bloating or running for the bathroom.
9 months later, she crushed the mountain mudder race in the best shape she has been since we have started.
Here's how we did it.
Fix your gut the right way.
No matter how much Joe Blow the body builder plays with your macros, if the food absorbing machine isn’t working … good luck losing fat, gaining muscle, or feeling like a normal functioning human.
If you are struggling with a CONSTANT trend of a combination of the following symptoms / order of events:
🤰Uncontrolled bloat that does not resolve on its own, especially by the morning (may vary in the upper abdomen, mid, lower or entire abdomen)
💩Diarrhea/Constipation/both
🥴Fatty stool
😩Cramps
❤️🔥Skin manifestations (rashes, breakouts)
😴Fatigue
💥Joint pain
😞Weakness
😶🌫️Brain fog
🍽️Lack of appetite OR intense sugar cravings (this will vary depending on critter activity in your gut)
**All of the above symptoms appear to not resolve DESPITE following an elimination protocol, or you are unable to come out of an elimination protocol.
📋If you have a history of food allergies, GI dysfunction, hospital visits for recurrent infection, GI bleeds, GERD, PUD, familial autoimmune conditions and IBS/IBD/Diverticulitis in the family...
…. You’re going need more than a random probiotic off the shelf.
🧪Proper testing is key to assess:
Bacterial/fungal/viral gut balance
Absorption ability / enzymatic activity
Microbial biodiversity
Inflammation / immune markers
Find the root cause.
❤️🩹Make repairs on the machine that is the gut, THEN manipulate macros and grow some muscle.
** Not medical advice.**
I ensure clients with recurring gut health issues have a GI specialist on board and I collaborate with the provider.
I know my scope of practice ‼️

The goal is to find a routine that feels as regular as getting up to brush your teeth in the morning.
Jacob's Journey
Working with Devya has been such an incredible experience for our family. When we started with her back at the end of June, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect. Jacob has always had significant food challenges due to autism and sensory-based aversions, so the idea of making any big changes to his diet felt nearly impossible. But Devya met us exactly where we were and guided us with so much patience, understanding, and encouragement.
We took things slow and steady, and that’s made all the difference. I never thought we’d see the day where Jacob would give up Goldfish or crackers — let alone enjoy a romaine salad — but here we are! His overall gut health has improved, and the supplements she recommended have become part of our normal routine.
The changes we’ve seen go far beyond food. Jacob’s digestion is better, his mood is more balanced, and it’s clear that how he eats truly affects how he feels. He just looks and seems so much happier and healthier these days. We’re so grateful that Devya was willing to work with Jacob, to see past his challenges, and to help him find success on his own terms.

ERIK'S STORY
"My experience working with Devya has been a good and enlightening experience. Before meeting her, I have always struggled with losing weight. I know I wanted to work with a professional. After one year of working with her, we found out that I had hormone issues. Devya was able to work with, understand, and learn with other professionals to help me to get where I am today. Just the other day, I was able to do 5 pull-ups in a row without assistance. A year ago, I couldn't do one pull-up. The fact that she has experience being a registered nurse and all the other Wellness schooling certificates (she has a lot of them). I feel confident that I'm able to trust her to give me the right guidance moving forward. I will always recommend her to people I know who want to change their health around.
The way Devya helped me navigate through the healthcare system was much easier on me. She helped me take the proper steps and asked the right questions. I personally had a hard time finding the right doctor. She has always supported me every step of the way. After work with her through the hard part of my health journey. She always told me that it was my decision to know what best to do with my body. At one point, I was working with 10 medical professionals in one years time. It got really stressful at times - but Devya really helped me every step of the way."

"I have always struggled with putting on muscle and decided I wanted to find someone who could help me achieve ANY kind of muscle definition. When I met Devya, and she lovingly yet matter-of-factly let me know that "Yeah, what you're doing isn't going to help you put on the muscle you're looking for," I knew I'd found just the right coach to help me get it done. Over the past few months, Devya has tailored a training and nutrition plan that works for ME and not some cookie cutter plan that's thrown out there for everybody to follow.
She takes such great care to make sure it's tailored to my goals. Admittedly, the amount of carbs she prescribed for me was a little daunting at first (women are NOT supposed to eat so many carbs, right??? ), but she knew this is what I needed for muscle gains, and was she right! I finally feel proud of the gains I've made and have come to embrace the fact that how I fuel my body is imperative to getting there.
I love that she's taken the guesswork away on what food/macros/training I need as she figures it out every week, and best of all, what she recommends is SUSTAINABLE. There is nothing weird I have to eat and actually get to enjoy foods I eat anyway, I'm just more mindful with it. Dark chocolate for an evening snack? Yep, it's in my nutrition plan! And I LOVE the lifting she has me do at the gym. Again, sustainable, and so empowering to push myself on heavy weights I've never had the courage to try before. Dev, I can't thank you enough for taking me on as a client and kicking my butt (in the best way!) to get to where I want to be.

When I first met Dev, I had been going to the gym for about a year and I felt a crazy connection but didn’t know why exactly when it happened. Fast forward a few months and I found myself struggling- not getting any real results and battling a few hormone-related issues that were hindering my progress.
I finally decided to reach out to Dev for help. I knew I couldn’t do this on my own, and I have two small children and a nonprofit to run. There simply was no going back- only forward. I’m so glad I made that decision and though it’s only been a few months so far, I can already say I have seen so much improvement. My moods are better. I don’t have near the symptoms I had previously, and my daily life is continuously improving.
For someone who has struggled with weight loss, hormonal imbalances and poor self care for around thirty years, it sure feels nice to actually
feelsome changes for the better.

"Devya is absolutely phenomenal at what she does. Her focus on the holistic and lifestyle approach of health, and not just nutrition is very refreshing.
I worked with her to make weight for a competition in a weight class sport and it really helped me eliminate stress. She kept a close eye on my macros and weight leading up to Provincials,
so that we could stay focused not only that, but she helped me create habits that I use on my own to maintain what I learned. Whether you’re an athlete or just somebody looking to make
lifestyle changes through diet and nutrition, Devya provides a wealth of knowledge and compassion."
