Ryanna Battiste is a city-girl turned nature-lover living on family land in rural South Carolina who is healing generations of chronic-illness with a lifestyle centered around nature, family, and clean eating. She used to be exclusively focused on nutrition as a vehicle for healing and still believes the food you choose to eat (and especially what you choose not to eat!) is a powerful part of the journey. However, food is just one piece of the multidimensional experience of healing.

In her 8 years as a Duke Certified Integrative Health Coach with a keen understanding of what motivates people to change and grow, Ryanna has worked with people experiencing every type of dis-ease. At the same time, she has been navigating her own way through chronic illness and seasons of pain. 

What she has learned is that healing is an intricate practice involving all aspects of our being - our body, our mind, and our spirit. Ryanna believes that forgiveness is a critical tool for transformation, trauma can be resolved through the breath, your body is incredible, and a little bit of plant medicine can go a long way!

She shares her gifts in individual and group work, on her podcast, Journey to Heal, and at special events and retreats.
