Vashti is an author, Functional Medicine Practitioner, certified Holistic Health Coach and has a background in healthcare and international development. She is a certified Holistic Health Coach through the Integrative Women’s Health Institute. Vashti has pursued further education in Hormone Health, Environmental Health, completed the Fix Your Period Apprenticeship, and is working towards her Functional Medicine Practitioner certification. Before becoming a Holistic Health Coach, she worked for the United States Agency for International Development, focusing on maternal/fetal health. She holds a BA and MSHS.

Her own journey with complex chronic illness, miscarriages, and feeling passed over by the medical system led Vashti to change careers and become a Holistic Health Coach. She believes that crap food, toxins, and stress are a big reason why we struggle and is on a mission to help as many people as possible get better and stay better.

Vashti works with clients with Complex Chronic Illnesses, including Mold Illness, Lyme Disease and it’s co-infections, and Autoimmune conditions. Vashti doesn’t subscribe to a one-and-done method, but rather that each individual that she works with is unique, and therefore, their coaching experience is based on their bio-individuality. She is constantly researching new methods to meet clients where they’re at to help them regain vitality. Vashti is passionate about bringing a blend of naturopathic and functional care to clients and believes the best outcomes come with the signature Doctor-Coach Model.

Vashti has been an expat for 12 years, and while it has its challenges, she can’t imagine living life any other way. She has lived in Baghdad, Beirut, Phnom Penh, Bangkok, Lagos, and Willemstad.

Outside the office, you can find Vashti on her mountain bike, hanging out with her family and friends, and exploring new places. Vashti currently lives in northern Virginia, with her husband, two daughters, and African village dog, Owen.
