Hello, my name is Danielle Forrester and I’m a certified gut wellness GAPS coach. I specialize in eczema, food allergies/sensitivies, asthma and histamine intolerance.
My origin story: We began the GAPS diet in 2017 for my son Raleigh (then age 4). He suffered with severe eczema, food allergies/sensitivities, histamine intolerance, edema and asthma. We initially treated him using western medicine only to see his health deteriorate rapidly. I came across the GAPS diet in 2015 but considered it too daunting even though I knew it was what he needed. After spending 6 years on the GAPS diet, Raleigh found complete healing from eczema, asthma, edema, histamine intolerance and all of his food sensitivities. In 2023 we began the ¨coming off GAPS¨ process. Today, Raleigh is a thriving and healthy 13 year old boy. The GAPS diet saved his life.
In 2020, three years into Raleigh´s journey, I received my certification as a GAPS coach and have been working with clients ever since. This journey with my son has taught me a great many things about food as medicine, patience, true healing and revealed to me a deeper desire and passion to help others on their own journey.
I chronicle Raleigh´s journey from the beginning of my blog. Thanks for being here and following Raleigh’s journey.
