I went to see Lyssandra as part of a package with Dr. Jessica Parker at Root and Stem this past spring. I had been struggling with hormonal issues following a thyroid surgery last year and it was just too much to take on by myself. I'm generally a thoughtful eater and mostly needed some fine-tuning on this specific issue. Lyssandra and Jessica really helped me figure out that my liver was also not working as well as it could be and that was part of the whole hormonal loop! I had no clue. Addressing those issues thoughtfully with food and herbs and some lifestyle changes with Lyssandra was incredibly helpful. I came away with more tools and tips for snacks and smart ways to add things into my very busy life. As a result, my skin is clearer, my hormonal swings feel less intense, my stress and anxiety around work and life feel more manageable, I'm sleeping better, and my workouts feel stronger. I wasn't sure about applied kinesiology, honestly, having not known a lot about it before seeing Lyssandra, but I appreciated the direction it lead my care and feel it produced spot on readings in my body. I really enjoy Lyssandra's tactile approach to care -- the intention and touch are wonderful when you're seeing someone about an acute problem. As a health practitioner myself, I'm happy to refer clients and friends to Lyssandra in the future and will likely see her for a tune up again next year. read more

Lyssandra is a wonderful, thoughtful, and on point holistic nutritionist practitioner! Last year I found out I was dealing with parasites in the gut (woo!) and Lyssandra helped guide my body back to a whole functioning space again. I am a firm believer in the mind body connection, so to work with someone who understands that viewpoint is magic. I have recommended friends and even my husband (who is not always one to get on board to seek help) and all have loved the value in meeting and finding someone who listens to their issues and knows how to dive deeper! I would highly recommend connecting with Lyssandra if you have issues with gut / hormones / food. And she is a lovely human to boot! You will not regret working with her! read more

I owe so much of my health to working with Lyssandra. Before becoming her client I suffered from debilitating stomach cramps which I've had my whole life. I had already gone gluten free which had helped, but other things in my diet were still triggering me. Through my work with Lyssandra we were able to pinpoint multiple other food sensitivities (brown rice!) and through thoughtful cleanses and energy kinesiology, work towards healing my gut and improving my health, emotions and energy levels. read more

Lyssandra is such an incredible healer! Her holistic approach to Nutritional wellness is both practical and bio-dynamic, connecting mind, body, spirit and soul! She really is next level, and working with her is fun! She has a wonderful uplifting presence, is articulate and is really so knowledgable. She helped me resolve some food allergies, and deepen my knowledge about my body and its relationship with food. Thank you Lyssandra, you are magic! read more

Lyssandra is such a gift! I went to her to address some specific health issues that I wasn't getting answers to from any other specialists, and she not only helped me address those issues, but she also helped me get to a whole new level of health and awareness. I newly have a consistent energy that feels both grounded and energizing. Lyssandra is extremely thorough, and even spent almost an entire session walking me through my food/supplement plans answering all my questions patiently, giving me helpful suggestions of the best ways to integrate all of her recommendations into my diet and daily life. I have such a deeper understanding of what my body needs, and am able to tune into it in a way that I hadn't before. read more

Lyssandra is truly one of a kind. I feel finding her was like winning the lottery. She is encouraging, insanely knowledgeable and goes above and beyond in developing protocols, checking in and ensure not only myself but my environment and family are well. Her recall for information is extraordinary and she always follows through with suggestions, recipes, alternate resources. She is passionate about what she does and the health and wellbeing of her clients. After many unsuccessful attempts to understand and take charge of my gut health she has helped me identify triggers and put me on the right path feeling educated, equipped and empowered to make positive modifications, resolving a lot of pain I was experiencing. With my on the go lifestyle I have met with Lyssandra both in person and on phone and she has the same level of intimate approach in both scenarios. Highly recommended. read more

I felt Lyssandra was patient and great at informing me on how to adjust my personal diet to lead a healthier life. She really helped me pinpoint what I currently eat that is beneficial as well as what I should cut. Being able to meet or talk with her on a regular basis was really helpful because it kept me on the plan that we built together. I've never had any experience with learning about nutrition and Native Palms opened my mind to a new way of living and respecting my body. I highly recommend NP if you are looking to improve your health as well as getting educated on how your body responds to what you eat! read more

I can't stress the 5 stars enough! I found Lyssandra when I was in need of a drastic health and well being shift in my life. Lyssandra came highly recommended by a friend as a down to earth and incredibly knowledgeable nutritionist. Through her guidance I was able to evaluate areas of my diet and daily lifestyle that were inhibiting me from having the kind of energy I was looking for. Her skills as a holistic nutritionist and her wisdom around nutrition and supporting the digestive system, helped me to understand and actually enjoy cooking and eating again. Since seeing Lyssandra I can honestly say that not only has my energy increased but also my mood and feelings of equanimity. I can't not recommend her enough. 5 stars all the way! read more

I trust my body. My body keeps the score. Lyssandra believes in the body as well and knows how to listen to to it. She is a kind, calm and rooted presence that allows my body to spill all its beans to her and in turn, we addressed my food sensitivities that helped me with digestive relief, getting me clear and motivated about what to eat. The emotional release techniques she used were incredible. I literally cried hard on her table and then manifested everything we talked about right away. I highly recommend working with this deep soul. She knows what she is doing. read more

I went Lyssandra because she was recommended to me from a trusted friend and I'm so glad I did! Her personalized approach to healing meant every bit of me (emotions, spirit, physical imbalances, etc) was addressed in our sessions. I've been working with various practitioners in the Bay Area for the last 20 years and I've rarely felt so deeply cared for. I can assure you Lyssandra is a rare gem! Lyssandra goes all in with each session and thanks to her work and thoughtful guidance ( her intuition is STRONG because she understood stuff about me that I barely knew about) I have been able to finally make phenomenal shifts in my eating (for example, no more almond milk and certain legumes for me!) and in my ability to develop and maintain a wellness and self care plan that I love! Thank you Lyssandra and see you soon! read more

I came to work with Lyssandra by way of some really painful digestion issues. In general, I felt like I had hit a plateau with "diet" and "nutrition" feeling like I had all the information and yet, still something was way off with my gut. I chose Lyssandra because I love her approach to wellness- she has a holistic perspective and is just an overall lovely person to be around. Every time we have a session, I feel completely restored and motivated to continue working at my health goals. She has provided really concrete strategies and within just a week of working together my digestion "issues" were gone, its been a handful of months and they still havent come back. I highly recommend Lyssandra if you're looking for someone who will encourage and coach you towards being a more relaxed, healthy and happy person! read more
