Maybe your child has been struggling and you've run out of answers. Maybe you've tried everything the doctors suggested and something still feels off. Maybe you're just exhausted from the meltdowns, the sleepless nights, the googling at midnight and you're finally ready to try a different approach.

Whatever brought you here, I'm glad you came.

I'm Alicia Dunable, Board Certified in Holistic Nutritionist and a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, with a master's degree in Psychology and over a decade of experience in mental health and wellness. I built Our Essential Wellness because I've lived the journey you might be starting. My own son's struggles with mood, behavior, and sensory challenges are what led me here and fueled what transformed everything I knew about health.

I specialize in helping moms like you uncover the nutritional underlying causes behind their child's emotional and behavioral challenges (the meltdowns, the anxiety, the focus issues, the sleep problems, and more) and build a real, personalized plan to address them naturally.

Here's where to go from here:

→ Learn my story and why I do this work

→ See how the Calm the Chaos Method works

→ Ready to talk?

I bring something a little different to this work. My background isn't just nutrition…

it's over a decade in mental health, years inside functional medicine clinics, and the very personal experience of watching my own child struggle and finding another way.

When we work together, you're not just getting a meal plan. You're getting someone who understands the emotional weight of what you're carrying and knows how to look at the whole picture.

No judgment, no guilt, no one-size-fits-all approach

just real support from someone who has genuinely been in your shoes.

When we work together, everything starts with you. We dig into your child's full health history, current symptoms, behaviors, lifestyle, and diet to figure out what's actually driving what you're seeing. From there, we build a plan that's specific to your child's body, not a generic protocol pulled from a textbook.

I specialize in supporting children and teens who struggle with:

Mood swings and emotional outbursts · Anxiety and depression · Focus and attention challenges · Sleep issues · Sensory sensitivities · Digestive problems · Skin issues · Picky eating and food sensitivities
