Hi! Iโm Katie Edmonds, a Certified Nutritional Therapist (NTP), author, and health educator. I spent years trying to heal from chronic illness โ and eventually, I did. But after becoming a mother, many of my old symptoms returned with a vengeance. This time, it wasnโt just my health that suffered โ my sonโs did too.
We spent years knee-deep in protocols, our closets overflowing with supplements, our savings drained by endless tests and practitioners. Relief finally came โ but not from the newest pill, detox, or biohack. It came when our bodies were finally able to let go of how theyโd been holding on.
When our nervous systems came back into balance, the brakes lifted. Our healing could finally move forward.
To be honest, this journey was humbling. As someone who once taught healing solely through chemistry (pills, diets, detoxes), I had to learn thereโs another side to the story. Yes, nutrients, oxygen, and metabolism matter โ they shape blood sugar, inflammation, and energy. But when those chemical pieces donโt work, or stop working, the next layer beginsโฆ or maybe it was the missing foundation all along.
The physics side of healing โ the electrical, emotional, and energetic terrain that tells the chemistry what to do. This is where my focus for healing lies, at Healing Foundations. Welcome!
About
Approach
At Healing Foundations Lab, I help clients uncover the patterns keeping their nervous and immune systems locked in what I call sickness ecology โ a state where the body is stuck in fight, flight, or freeze.
In this mode, inflammation, fatigue, pain, and sensitivity are part of the bodyโs attempt to defend, not repair. Healing, however, happens in the parasympathetic state โ the bodyโs natural repair mode. If youโve spent years cycling through SIBO protocols, mold detoxes, cold plunges, or infrared saunas with only partial improvement, this may be why: your system is still trying to survive, not heal.
Our work together gently helps the body shift gears โ from defense to repair, from chaos to coherence, from survival to restoration.
Who I work with
I specialize in helping those navigating:
Allergies, sensitivities, and histamine-related inflammation.
Chronic illness and fatigue patterns.
Family ecology โ childhood health issues, and healing stress and trauma patterns within families.
Those with stuck patterns who want to come out of them.
Methods
My focus is on helping a body re-balance itself. To help get there, I use the following:
Qi-5 laser system โ a form of photobiomodulation and frequency-based therapy โ along with laser acupuncture to shift energy patterns and restore cellular communication.
Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) interpreted through a nervous system and trauma-informed lens โ connecting biochemistry with emotional and energetic patterns.
Ancestral Wisdom: Our foundation is rooted in ancestral nutrition and lifestyle โ nourishment, rhythm, and natural cues that help bring a system from high alert back into alignment.

FAQs

If you are dealing with sensitivities or intolerances, we may be able to help! Or, if youโre looking for deeper work with emotions, the nervous system, and energy.

In all honesty, the biggest reason is if youโre here for โme to heal you.โ Another practitioner, another protocol. Instead, I hope to partner with you on YOUR journey to rediscovery, health, and wellness. I want to walk the journey alongside you, helping you, and supporting youโrather than walking the journey for you. This perspective may not resonate with you, and thatโs okay! But then we wouldnโt be a good fit.
