About
Hi! I’m Katie Edmonds, a Certified Nutritional Therapist (NTP), author, and health educator. I spent years trying to heal from chronic illness — and eventually, I did. But after becoming a mother, many of my old symptoms returned with a vengeance. This time, it wasn’t just my health that suffered — my son’s 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 — but not from the newest pill, detox, or biohack. It came when our bodies were finally able to let go of how they’d 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 there’s another side to the story. Yes, nutrients, oxygen, and metabolism matter — they shape blood sugar, inflammation, and energy. But when those chemical pieces don’t work, or stop working, the next layer begins… or maybe it was the missing foundation all along.
The physics side of healing — 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!
Approach
At Healing Foundations Lab, I help clients uncover the patterns keeping their nervous and immune systems locked in what I call sickness ecology — a state where the body is stuck in fight, flight, or freeze.
In this mode, inflammation, fatigue, pain, and sensitivity are part of the body’s attempt to defend, not repair. Healing, however, happens in the parasympathetic state — the body’s natural repair mode. If you’ve 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 — from defense to repair, from chaos to coherence, from survival to restoration.
Who we work with
We specialize in helping those navigating:
Allergies, sensitivities, and histamine-related inflammation.
Chronic illness and fatigue patterns.
Family ecology — 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 — a form of photobiomodulation and frequency-based therapy — 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 — connecting biochemistry with emotional and energetic patterns.
Ancestral Wisdom: Our foundation is rooted in ancestral nutrition and lifestyle — nourishment, rhythm, and natural cues that help bring a system from high alert back into alignment.

Add on - Family Ecology
I believe healing rarely happens in isolation — we heal as a unit. When a child experiences health challenges, there’s often a deeper reflection of the family ecology woven within. That’s why I offer family packages: working with both a caregiver and child together is one of the most powerful — and rewarding — paths to transformation.
Cost: Add $1,000 for each additional child.
This includes 13 laser sessions for the child, a complete HTMA test and interpretation, and personalized guidance on how to use this information to strengthen family connection, support emotional patterns, and nurture each child’s unique path toward regulation and resilience.
FAQs

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

In all honesty, the biggest reason is if you’re here for “me to heal you.” 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 you—rather than walking the journey for you. This perspective may not resonate with you, and that’s okay! But then we wouldn’t be a good fit.
