Romaine Connell, R.H.N.

Yes, my name really is Romaine... just like the lettuce!  It's made for some fun teasing over my lifetime, but here I am, a Holistic Nutritionist with a namesake veggie! Joking aside, my inspiration comes from all those who are defying the modern cultural and expected norms about what wellbeing means. I specialize in reducing inflammation, gut health, women's health and stress management. I am a passionate wellness advocate and champion of those willing to take control of their health! What I advocate for are simple, effective and sustainable holistic solutions for clients. Having grown up with amazing holistic influences and helping myself through a serious health crisis, I just thought we all knew how to do this! When I began helping others navigate the world of nutrition and wellness over 10 years ago, I came to realize that there is a lot of confusion about the information available to us. 

You are a unique individual with unique needs. 

This is where I can help! Let's unlock and discover the unique keys to your health and well being, in order to support a healthy, happy and vibrant life for all the years to come.

Digestive health is absolutely critical in addressing good health and wellbeing. Your unique microbiome drives "the ship" so to speak, affecting every system in the body, including mental 

health.  Common symptoms of gut imbalance include:

• heartburn
• gas & bloating
• irritable bowel syndrome
• constipation or diarrhea
• sleep issues
• skin rashes, eczema, psoriasis, acne
•  allergies & food sensitivities
•  sugar cravings
• hormonal imbalance
• mood imbalance, including anxiety & depression

Stress is a reality of life!  It becomes a problem when we can no longer manage the chronic stressors in our life in effective and productive ways. Symptoms of  

chronic stress include:

• mood changes
• disturbed sleep
• weight gain around the middle
• skin issues 
• digestive upset
• anxiety & depression
• hair loss
• brain changes 
• lack of energy & focus
• adrenal fatigue

"Romaine has helped me with various health concerns over the years, and I have taken her suggestions and used them, with success. Romaine has the unique ability to listen, observe, and, using her research and desire to help, make suggestions. She takes the time to explain why the body is doing what it is doing, how to change it and then stop it from reoccurring. This comes from her passion for living a healthy lifestyle and for helping others to do the same. Romaine has gone to the extent of drawing up a meal plan (I knew I needed to eliminate some foods, but didn't know where to begin) and she included recipes for each of the items on the plan.  She is always available for consultations and stays updated on how I am improving. I was a runner for 15 years; I didn't need help... I thought I was in great health. Now I turn to Romaine for advice, I trust what she tells me, she has never let me down. Thank you, Romaine."
