About mary

Mary Gilbertson is an Integrative Nurse Practitioner (APRN) and Clinical Nutritionist, Certified Health Coach, and Lifestyle Educator. She is trained in Integrative, Functional, & Lifestyle Medicine. She has specialty certifications in Environmental Medicine and has been trained in detoxification @ The Sanoviv Medical Institute in Baja California, Mexico, and The Swiss Mountain Clinic, in Castaneda, Switzerland.

Mary enjoys working with people of all ages to attain optimal health through use of lifestyle techniques and educating on the use of foods to heal (Food as Medicine). A lifelong student of health and healing modalities around the world, Mary has spent years researching & practicing many medicinal therapies including natural medicine, herbals, spiritual wellness, and breathwork.

“While working in nursing for 36 years, I cared for all ages in both acute and chronic care. I saw so many people suffering needlessly because they did not have the education or tools necessary to change lifestyle behaviors that promote illness, or learn the behaviors necessary to support wellness. I became determined to create a practice dedicated to treating the whole person”.

When Mary is not working or studying the newest wellness therapies, you can find her growing organic food in her greenhouse, cooking up nutritious meals in her kitchen, hiking the many trails near her home in CT, or playing around with herbal concoctions to add to her medicine cabinet. Her goal is to support the body as naturally as possible to allow the body to aid in healing.

You can schedule a 15 minute Discovery Session (complimentary) HERE to see how Mary can help you reach your wellness goals.


EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN JOURNEY.
I’M SO HAPPY TO BE HERE TO HELP SUPPORT YOURS.

My wife dragged me to our first visit. I only went to support her. Little did I realize that I was overweight, had high blood pressure, and based on my bloodwork was developing heart disease. Mary identified my problems and recommended the Metabolic Balance program. It literally changed my life! I’m down 24 pounds, 4 inches around my waist, my energy is amazing and my blood pressure is normal so I do not need medication! Mary is awesome!
