Aria Haney is a certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, trained by the Nutritional Therapy Association. Specializing in coaching busy moms to reclaim their health through nutritional guidance, mindset shifts, and lifestyle changes, she discovered the power of holistic nutrition when her oldest son developed severe eczema as a baby, finding answers beyond conventional medicine. This personal journey sparked her passion and resilience when she was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease a few years later.
Today, Aria is driven by a mission to empower mothers to overcome chronic fatigue, stress, cravings, and poor digestive health. She firmly believes in the possibility of regaining energy and vitality to fully engage in life’s joys once more.In her practice, Aria offers personalized 1:1 nutrition coaching virtually and runs a comprehensive 4-month coaching program. Her services include tailored nutritional and supplement recommendations, customized meal plans, direct messaging support, and access to hair and mineral testing for targeted health optimization. She collaborates closely with naturopathic doctor, Danielle Hofer.
Aria recently launched a master class focused on "unlocking the secrets to your energy," aiming to address key nutrition-related topics. Her expertise spans blood sugar regulation, optimal eating for energy and stress reduction, the significance of movement, and the transformative impact of manageable lifestyle adjustments on overall well-being. She advocates for the importance of adequate protein intake and emphasizes that wholesome eating can be both accessible and practical, contrary to common misconceptions.
