About Atavia

Atavia Minoudis is a Registered Nutritional Therapist, certified by the College of Naturopathic Medicine, specializing in IBS and gut health. With a BSc in Psychology and Counseling, and a background in mental health and addiction work, Atavia brings a holistic approach to her practice. She often integrates techniques like motivational interviewing and radical acceptance to provide clients with comprehensive support for both mindset and physical health.

Atavia's dedication to gut health stems from her personal journey. She was once dangerously underweight, weighing less than 100 lbs, and confined to her bedroom due to debilitating IBS. Despite loving food, her gut could not tolerate it. Frustrated by a lack of helpful medical advice, she took matters into her own hands, studying Nutritional Therapy while working full-time to understand her condition. Now, Atavia is committed to sharing her knowledge and experience with women everywhere, helping them overcome IBS symptoms and achieve optimal gut health.

With over six years of experience as a Nutritional Therapist, Atavia has worked with clients facing a range of health issues, including acne, anxiety, and fatigue. Through this work, she discovered a common thread among her clients: nearly all of them had underlying gut issues, which led her to specialize in gut health. Atavia is passionate about making health concepts easy to understand, empowering her clients to take charge of their well-being.
