Meet Danelle
Functional Medicine Health Consultant
Hi!
I'm Danelle
Hello and welcome to Restore To Thrive! I'm Danelle Kessler. I am a family nurse practitioner and functional medicine health consultant dedicated to supporting moms and children on their journey to optimal well-being. My personal connection to functional medicine is deeply rooted in the transformative health stories of both my son and myself.


It all started when...
my son faced constant coughs, ear infections, and various health issues, I found myself navigating through a maze of specialists and treatments without success. Trusting my instincts as a mom and drawing upon my nursing background, I delved into the world of functional medicine. This decision turned our situation around, giving us hope and a fresh start. Now, with this knowledge, I'm passionate about helping other families through Restore To Thrive, my online platform for functional medicine and support.
My health journey...
I've faced challenges from a young age, dealing with acne, severe menstrual cramping, digestive issues, and bloating. Later in life, I encountered adult acne, multiple miscarriages, ovarian cysts, irregular periods, brain fog, and continued digestive issues with food sensitivities. Through research, continued education in functional medicine, and the guidance of a naturopathic doctor, I discovered personalized protocols for hormone and gut reset. This led to freedom from brain fog, daily exercise, restful sleep, and minimal GI complaints, with boundless energy.
Now I'm able to ...
heal families through my commitment to knowledge extends to extensive training with the Institute of Functional Medicine, Aviva Romm's Functional & Integrative Medicine professional training program, and Detoxing Toxins in Pediatrics. I believe in empowering parents to take control of their child's healing journey through a comprehensive approach encompassing nutrition, lifestyle habits, mindfulness, toxin removal, and supplement introduction. Together, we identify root causes and create lasting healing strategies, providing you with confidence, tools, and lifelong wellness.
