About Me
Welcome to Erin Tamayo Wellness, I’m so glad you’re here! I’m Erin Tamayo, a mom of two, a seasoned educator and an Integrative Health Practitioner. I can’t wait to connect with you and help your family find optimal health after seeing my own family’s transformations over the years!
My Story
I watched and knew my toddler son was suffering from something for years, but couldn’t put my finger on it until I decided to take control of my family’s health. I began questioning doctors’ answers that didn’t resonate, such as giving my two year old Miralax everyday to address his constipation and being told that chronic ear infections were normal because he attended daycare. In my quest for answers, I stumbled across the field of natural health. Through working with a naturopathic doctor and embracing holistic medicine, we were able to figure out that my son was suffering from celiac disease likely triggered by the destruction of his gut biome through countless rounds of antibiotics from ear infections as a baby and toddler.
Instead of dwelling on my previous lack of knowledge and how this contributed to my son’s health struggles, I decided to move forward in a bold way and stop settling for masking our bodies’ communication. If we’re willing to ask questions and do the work, our challenges in life are full of lessons and can redirect us to what’s most important. I turned my side hobby passion into practice and became a certified health coach ready to help other momma’s take control of their families’ health! As a passionate mom, educator and health coach, I’m committed to bettering the health of myself, my family and the world around me starting with small steps!
Through my son’s health journey, I was also finally able to learn how to truly care for myself beyond just my physical appearance. Functional medicine lab testing helped me address my imbalanced thyroid and hormones as well as reach and maintain my ideal weight after years of insecurities and band-aid approaches. Now I understand the reasons behind my struggles and can help you uncover the same for yourself and/or your children.
As an educator with over 15 years of experience in a classroom setting working to educate children’s bodies, hearts and minds, I see and know that it’s not just my son who struggled. So many children today are battling to concentrate, self-regulate, learn and thrive.
I know that our bodies’ symptoms are constant communication cueing us that something is out of balance. But we don’t have to settle for knowing that something is off or rush to medication to mask the symptoms. There is so much foundational work we can do together to address your child’s diet, sleep, movement and more! We can also dig deep and get you the answers you are seeking for you or your children!
Moms have such a powerful role in their families. We are able to set the tone for health and wellness and lead the change in our families through our commitment and actions. When you start with the foundations, you create a ripple effect for the whole family!
My Approach
As a Certified Integrative Health Practitioner Level 2, I am trained to help clients build a customized personalized wellness plan that prioritizes your story.
Your body’s deficiencies and toxicities are contributing to your symptoms and once they are uncovered, they can be addressed. My unique approach takes the guesswork out of what’s going on inside the body using concrete data from simple at home functional medicine lab tests (gut health, minerals, vitamins, metals, food sensitivities, parasites, inflammation, and hormones) to educate you and then create a customized plan integrating the elements of the DESTRESS protocol.
The DESTRESS protocol is the foundation of my body-mind family wellness approach which combines diet, exercise, stress reduction, toxin removal, rest, emotional balance, scientifically backed supplementation, and creating a success mindset which we will layer in over time to to help you create and maintain lasting change and a rebalanced body. It’s never just one thing that will change the health trajectory of your family, but by learning and getting started with the essentials, you will create an incredible impact.
Know that you’re working on all levels of health and will be supported along the way! By believing that there are always more answers and persistently pursuing truth, I can help your family embrace a healthy lifestyle with thriving children.
Take advantage of a complimentary virtual consultation to explore whether this approach aligns with your goals and needs as well as help you decide which package is right for you.
Whether your goal is to focus on you, your kids or both, I am committed to guiding my English and Spanish speaking clients’ families towards a healthier, more vibrant life.
We can work together regardless of your location with easy private virtual appointments.
I know together we’ll do great things to transform your family’s story and lay the foundation for your children to experience a new level of true health for years to come!
