Meet the Team

Chelsie Ward has been a student of the human mind and body for over 20 years. She blends her Applied Behavior Analysis background with her work as a Registered Nurse and FDN Practitioner. Her customized plans help others achieve optimal health by targeting the root cause of their health issues.

Chelsie's chronic health challenges led her to holistic healing. After hitting a wall with traditional medicine, she committed to studying natural methods like nutrition, detox, and lifestyle medicine. This not only helped her reverse her own health conditions but also gave her a deep passion for natural healing. Her personal experience, including a 23-year journey with breast implants and the battle with breast implant illness, further deepened her passion for helping others facing similar challenges. She's appreciated for her personalized and caring approach, as she crafts unique recovery plans for each client. She's also dedicated to educating her clients and fellow practitioners about healthy living in harmony with nature.

Gina Brown has spent nearly a decade helping individuals heal by integrating the power of functional medicine with compassionate coaching. As a Certified Integrative Health Practitioner and holistic health coach, she specializes in uncovering the root causes of chronic symptoms, addressing toxic burden, inflammation, gut imbalance, and emotional wellness through personalized detoxification and healing protocols.

Drawing from her Master's degree in Herbal Medicine and studies in clinical nutrition, she blends science-backed protocols with ancient natural practices to support the body's innate ability to heal. Her work is rooted in a whole-person approach that focuses on eliminating toxicities, utilizing food as medicine, and supporting the body's natural detoxification pathways through personalized protocols.

Having navigated her own wellness journey and breast implant illness, she understands the power of functional tools, sustainable lifestyle changes, and the guiding role of faith in healing. Gina brings that lived experience to every client and is committed to empowering others to reclaim their vitality, overcome obstacles, and create lifelong wellness.

Melinda McLaughlin is on a mission to help people heal naturally and regain their lives. After suffering chronic, unexplained illness for over a decade, she gained a passion for improving her health and helping others do the same. Severe digestive issues, constipation, extreme fatigue, inflammation, insomnia, hair loss, weight gain and brain fog kept her sitting on the sidelines watching life pass her by. After seeking help from over 50 practitioners without any relief, she felt unseen, unheard and misunderstood. Melinda began digging deeper into every aspect of health to find answers – physical, emotional and spiritual. Seeking holistic wellness led to integrative practitioners who helped her eliminate her symptoms, regain her health and actively enjoy her life.

Melinda has a degree from Baylor University and a graduate degree from Southern Methodist University. She is a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner as well as being certified in Mind-Body Nutrition, Eating Psychology and Human Optimization.

Melinda believes each of us has the power to take control of our own health, and she's honored to guide people on that journey. Her passion is truly listening to patients so they feel seen, heard and understood while guiding them to experience the joy of feeling their best. A native Texan, Melinda enjoys spending time with her family, friends and dogs, traveling and her Baylor Bears.
