You've Stalled In Your Healing
You've made some changes, but things aren't sticking. It feels like you're missing something.
Recurring Symptoms
Fatigue. Painful Joints & Muscles. Digestive Dilemmas. Weight. You have a combination of symptoms that keep coming back, and you're worried about more medications.
All The Things
You've spent countless hours researching and don't know how to turn all the info into a simple, actionable plan for YOUR body.
Daily Cycles
You wake feeling sore, groggy and nauseous, and it takes a while to get going. You wonder how to get through the last two hours of work with no energy for dinner, laundry & family. At night, you lie awake feeling exhausted, but can't sleep. Your mind is already in tomorrow
Blessed With A Busy, Full Life
You're a problem solver and like being productive with plans A, B, C & D running through your head. You try not to over do it and recognize stress impacts your health, but "stress management" isn't on your daily list. Who has time?
Fitness Fall-Backs
You want to be more active, and are hesitant to sign up for anything because of your symptoms, so you're walking when you can. And when you finally hit the gym or a class with friends, suddenly you're sick a few days later.
Proof of Life
You want to prove to yourself and the world that your body is not attacking itself, that you're actually in sync and you're not a victim to a diagnosis.
This is why we created ...

Meet your team with 30+ years experience
Vanessa Bond, BA, CNP, AIP Certified Coach brings over 10 years of clinical experience, along with being the mom of a teen with a rare rheumatic auto-inflammatory condition called CRMO (similar to RA or JIA) who is living well. The nutrition and health strategies she shares in this membership are what she uses with private clients and were key in changing the trajectory of her daughter's health. She feels these skills are critical to learning how to rebuild physical health.

With a background in employee health benefits, she understands the impact stress has on inflammatory disease & symptoms. Her passion is helping members live mindfully at home and work, so they can lead healthy, productive lives.
Kristin Wedding, MA is the CEO of Vyana Wellness & Yoga, a Certified Wellness Coach, Registered Yoga Teacher, and Pause Breathwork Facilitator.

3 SIGNATURE COURSES FROM OUR PRIVATE CLIENT PRACTICES
Reality Based Meal Planning For Autoimmune
Transition to an easy-to-follow, nutrient dense eating plan over 4 to 6 weeks using The Autoimmune Nutrition Triad to feed & fuel your energy, immune and digestive systems. Our eating plans are all scientifically-backed and take into account individual intolerances.
Embodied Autoimmune Breathwork
This course helps members master how to target & improve pain, fatigue, sleep, mood and anxiety through the power of breath. Breathwork is recommended by many autoimmune associations to improve stress, nervous system and pain control, yet most don't know how to get started. We break down patterns and provide guided sequences that you can integrate into your day - at work or home.
Restorative Yoga - For Nervous System & Any BODY
Restorative Yoga brings the floor up to you, using blankets, pillows and blocks to support your body so you can reach a state of deep relaxation and relief. This series is for women who want a better night’s sleep, enhanced mood & reduced pain. It is particularly helpful in the evening when bodies are tired and minds are wired.
"Vanessa helped me stay on track, especially on the days I wanted to give up"
"Vanessa is compassionate, informative, and motivating. Her programs are set in a way that you are gradually changing and improving your diet and lifestyle. She helped me stay on track, by providing me the ‘pep’ talk I needed to push through, especially on the days or weeks I just wanted to give up. I don’t think I would have been so successful without her and her amazing programs."
- Victoria S, RA, Lupus, Sjogren’s
"Vanessa's approach is very different from my previous experiences. I am a perfectionist and in the past I would jump in 100% with a new eating plan and try to be perfect. However, with Vanessa's approach, she helped me to build a better relationship with food. She created a protocol that was flexible to suit my specific needs. It continued to support me to be healthier, but I didn't feel deprived or too overwhelmed (like I did in the past). I also liked her level headed approach between the medical and holistic industry. Again, it was a good balance between the two and not the one or the other."
- Karin R (Hashimoto’s, RA and Type 2 Diabetes)
"Lori's breath & movement tools are now part of my everyday life ... I suffer from fibromyalgia & chronic pain."
“I have been a student of Lori’s restorative practice for over 7 years. Learning restorative yoga and mindfulness from Lori has truly been life changing for me. I suffer from fibromyalgia and chronic pain. Some days are much tougher than others and the breath and movement tools I have learned are now part of my every day life. I’m so grateful for her patience, her calm gentle encouragement and her positive energy. I encourage anyone with chronic pain to try Lori’s classes. The mind body connection is real and powerful!!”
- Tanya H, Fibromyalgia
“I like that it combines nutritional information with breathing exercises and restorative yoga. I think that's a good combination. Most autoimmune issues can't be improved with a singular approach. The seated flow was my favourite exercise, and I also enjoyed doing some of the breathing exercises.”
- Monica, Lymphocytic Colitis
