About Me

I'm Chrissy Hayden, a licensed and certified nutritionist with a passion for helping women achieve digestive wellness and regain their energy - naturally!

 

I attended Maryland University of Integrative Health in Laurel, Maryland where I received my Master of Science in Nutrition & Integrative Health. Prior to that, I obtained a Bachelor of Arts in Communication from George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia.

 

I am licensed by the Maryland Board of Dietetics, certified by the Board for Certification of Nutrition Specialists, and a Professional Member of the American Nutrition Association.

My Story

I am a proud wife and mama of two boys, 6 and 9 years old! My husband, Keith, has a graduate degree in nutrition, as well. We nourish our bodies with a nutrient-dense diet, but have the occasional brownie (we're human, too!).

 

I was brought into this profession with my own health challenges -- autoimmune thyroid disease and persistent gut health issues that started in my early twenties.

 

It was really not until I entered the alternative health field and left a crazy stressful job in public relations that I began to heal my own body. And that journey continues! 

Private Practice

I am the owner of The Art of Health, an integrative wellness center in Arlington, Virginia, that focuses on improving our clients' quality of life using therapeutic massage, clinical nutrition, and yoga therapy. I founded this practice in 2008 and often joke that it's my first born child!

 

I work with clients in all corners of the country, but this is my home base where I get to work along side an amazingly talented team. If you're local, come see us!
