Hi I am Chiah Rodriques, I am a certified Institute for Integrative Nutrition Health Coach and Certified Herbalist. I offer classes and consulting around elevating your self care to find joy and healing despite chronic and common health problems. As a Lyme Disease patient and someone who has suffered through severe and chronic back pain, Hashimoto Thyroiditis myself I value and understand the deep need to resolve underlying factors contributing to the immense physical and mental load these conditions can have. I focus on helping people become more in tune with their bodies, nature and mental health. I have worked with clients with Lyme Disease, autoimmune diseases, Hashimoto Thyroiditis, SIBO, Chronic Wasting syndrome, various women’s health and wellbeing needs, hormone balancing, chronic pain management, mental and physical self care as well as simple lifestyle adjustments to boost healthy living and nutrition. I have worked with private groups and clients.
For 15 years I taught natural childbirth education to home birth clients, was a doula and midwife assistant as well as a teen pregnancy advisor through the school system in Ukiah, Ca. Nutrition and wellbeing was a large focus of my work with mothers and postpartum care. I am a trained La Leche League Breastfeeding peer counselor and worked in home, hospital, high school settings as well as with moms and babies in the WIC (Women Infants and Children) program in Mendocino County public health department.
I have a line of self care products made from herbs, organic oils and ingredients and hemp derived CBD. The goal is to help people and women mainly with breast self exams, learning to relax in this modern busy world, create self awareness and tune into their bodies natural ebbs and flows. I am a cannabis farmer in California and have worked with the plant in many forms for health and wellbeing.
I taught classes through our local food coop on gluten free living, gluten free baking, using herbs in every day ways and creating healthy simple and vibrant, quick and tasty meals.
