FAQ Guide

Hi, I'm Diana

Naturopathic Coach · Chemical Engineer · Reiki Master

What I do — and why it's different

I'm Diana, and I work with women who've tried everything for their chronic gut issues — the elimination diets, the supplements, the appointments — and are still suffering. My business is called Demystifying Your Gut.

What makes me different is that I'm a chemical engineer with food safety and regulatory experience, a certified naturopathic coach, and a Reiki Master. I bring the science and the holistic piece together — because chronic gut issues like IBS are rarely just about food.

Right now I'm focused on referrals for the Authority Identity Shift membership — a program I co-created with a wealth and mindset coach, designed for entrepreneurs and business owners who are growing their income and know their health has to grow with them.

My best referral is anyone in your network who is building a business and quietly paying the price with their health — or who knows that how they feel in their body is directly affecting how they show up in their business.

Who I'm looking to connect with

I'm not currently looking for 1-on-1 clients. My focus is on the Authority Identity Shift membership — and the right referral is someone who fits this picture:

Authority Identity Shift — Skool Membership

For entrepreneurs who want to grow their income without sacrificing their health

This is a 6-month group coaching program co-created with a wealth and mindset coach. Each month we tackle both sides of the equation: the business and wealth strategy — visibility, sales, scaling, identity of prosperity — and the practical health and vitality piece, because you cannot sustainably grow a business from a depleted, inflamed, exhausted body.

My specialty inside the program is the practical health and healing rituals — rooted in science, designed for real life, and built specifically for the busy entrepreneur who doesn't have time for complicated protocols. Gut health, nervous system regulation, energy, and sustainable habits — not perfection.

The connecting thread across every month: your body is a business asset. Stress blocks digestion the same way it blocks vision. Presence and magnetism in business come from a well-nourished body. You can't scale what your health can't sustain.

Who to think of: The entrepreneur in your network who mentions burnout, gut issues, brain fog, or feeling "off" — and who is also ambitious and growing. She doesn't need a gut diagnosis. She just needs to recognise that her health and her business growth are connected.

Naturopath vs. Naturopathic Coach

This is one of the most common confusions — and one I completely understand. Even I used to think they were the same thing before I enrolled in my certification. Here's the short version:

Naturopath (ND) Naturopathic Coach (Me)
Credentials 4-year accredited degree (ND). Licensed healthcare provider in Ontario. Certified coaching program with naturopathic foundations. Not a licensed healthcare provider.
What they do Diagnose and treat conditions. Can order lab tests and prescribe botanical medicines clinically. Education, lifestyle guidance, root-cause exploration, and coaching through a holistic lens. No diagnosis or clinical treatment.
Insurance Often covered by extended health benefits in Canada. Not covered by insurance. Out-of-pocket investment.
Focus Medical and clinical. Primarily body-focused. Coaching and education. Addresses body, mind, energy, and lifestyle patterns together.
Time & format Appointment-based (30–60 min). Treatment-focused. Ongoing methodology over time. Transformation and community-focused.
Best for Clinical diagnosis, lab interpretation, medical-grade protocols. Women who want to understand their body more deeply, work on root causes, and build lasting habits — especially when physical symptoms are tied to stress, burnout, or identity.

We are not competitors. Many of my clients have already seen a naturopath. What they're missing is the ongoing, integrative, lifestyle-and-mindset piece that coaching provides. I often work alongside other practitioners — not instead of them.

Questions members often ask

Why would someone choose you over a naturopath if you're not covered by insurance?
Honestly — some people shouldn't. If someone needs clinical testing, a formal diagnosis, or wants to use their benefits, a licensed naturopath is the right fit and I'll happily say so.

But for the entrepreneur who has already done the appointments and tried the protocols and still feels stuck — the missing piece is usually not another clinical session. It's understanding how her stress, her nervous system, her identity, and her daily habits are keeping her body in a constant state of reaction. That's the work I do, and it's not something most clinical appointments have time for.
What makes you different from other health or wellness coaches?
Most health coaches come from a nutrition background. I'm a chemical engineer with years in food safety and regulatory consulting. I understand how food is actually produced, what's in it at a systems level, and how processing affects our biology — not just at a dietary level.

I layer that with naturopathic coaching and Reiki energy work. So I can speak the language of the analytical, science-minded woman who needs evidence to trust a process — and also address the emotional and energetic patterns that no food plan ever touches. That specific combination doesn't exist in most practitioners' rooms.
Who is the ideal referral for Authority Identity Shift?
An entrepreneur or business owner — typically a woman — who is ambitious and growing, but is experiencing the physical cost of that growth. She might mention gut issues, bloating, low energy, brain fog, poor sleep, or just feeling "not quite right."

She values both her health and her income — and she's ready to invest in a program that works on both at the same time, with practical tools she can actually fit into a full life.
What does working with you inside the program actually look like?
Inside Authority Identity Shift, I deliver the health and vitality side of a 6-month group coaching program. Each month connects business growth and body health — we don't just teach sales strategy; we also address the physical exhaustion that makes selling feel impossible. We don't just work on visibility; we also address the gut health and mental clarity that determine whether you show up confidently.

My contribution is always rooted in science, practical, and designed for the busy professional. No complicated protocols. No perfection required. Just sustainable healing rituals that actually get done.
Can you work alongside someone's existing naturopath or doctor?
Absolutely — and I encourage it. Because I don't diagnose or treat medically, there's no conflict with existing care. Coaching fills the gap between appointments: the lifestyle, the emotional patterns, the daily habits, the mindset around food and the body. Many clients see me because they're already working with another practitioner and want more depth and continuity in between sessions.
What's the single best referral trigger to listen for?
Anyone who says some version of: "I'm doing well in my business but I'm running on empty" — or "I've been dealing with gut stuff for years and nothing really sticks" — or "I know I need to sort my health out but I don't have time for another complicated protocol."

That person is exactly who Authority Identity Shift was built for.
