Meet Allison Kitchens | Function Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (FNTP) & Functional Diagnostic Nutritional Practitioner (FDN-P)
We had the good fortune of connecting with Allison Kitchens and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Allison, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
I decided to start my own business because I saw the restorative power of food in my life. Real food nutrition and fixing my imbalanced digestion changed my energy, mood, hormones, ability to build muscle and my overall wellness. Finding such an answer to my health was something I had to share with the world and therefore create a wellness company where I did just that.
What should our readers know about your business?
I own Nourish Kitchens Wellness. I created my business with my clients in mind. I work to help my clients find restoration in their health and end the cycle of trial and error many people find themselves stuck in. I utilize real food nutrition as well as blood sugar and digestion optimization. I also help clients find balance in lifestyle as well as stress management.
What sets me apart from others- I am able to run labs on clients to find answers as well as coaching them through the changes they are implementing. The thing I love most- helping clients to stand on their own two feet. My goal for them is to learn what they need to from me so that at the end of our time working together, they no longer need me but can implement the things they have learned on their own!
As of today, my business is completely referral based, which I have loved. I stay home and homeschool my kids. So much of my time has been split between the homeschool world and the nutrition world. One of the biggest challenges I have found is finding consistent clientele- some months I am bursting at the seems with new clients and some months I only have 2-3 new clients.
One of the biggest lessons I have learned- I am perfectly aligned to get the results I am getting. If I don’t like the where I am currently, It may be time for me to adjust the process!
I want the world to know- YOU MATTER!! The world around you needs YOU! When your body is not working correctly, you don’t get energized from meals, you have energy spikes and drops and deal with brain fog and fatigue, you can’t operate at optimal in the world. I help people get back to who they were made to be. The world needs YOU!
Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Oh man, I love living here! So many things so close by!
If my friend was here, I would start by going north and venturing out on the Lone Star Trail and meandering through the forest. Next we would go south and get some coffee and spend some time chatting at Barbarrosa Coffee. We would then go in to Houston and visit some of our world class museums. I would take them for a late lunch on the patio at Flora off of Allen Parkway. I would finish the day by driving down to Galveston for a picnic on the beach by the ocean. Did I mention I love the outdoors?
Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I am so grateful to have studied at the Nutritional Therapy Association. This was the starting point of both my healing journey (working with a fellow FNTP) and my business journey.
I also want to give a shoutout to all of my amazing clients. They have allowed me to walk with them on their journey to health!
