MEET JESSICA BIEHL
Functional Nutrition Counselor | Postpartum Doula | Holistic Chef
Hi, I’m Jessica, the heart behind Enthriven—where food, wellness, and sustainable living come together to help you cook, grow, and thrive. As a Functional Nutrition Counselor, I guide others in healing through nutrition, focusing on gut health and sustainable lifestyle shifts that restore balance and vitality.
My passion starts in the soil—I grow my own herbs and vegetables, crafting nutrient-dense meals and healing teas free from harmful chemicals. Whether supporting a gut-healing journey, helping families embrace wholesome meals, or caring for new mothers as a Postpartum Doula, my work is rooted in the belief that food is a powerful tool for transformation.
Beyond the kitchen, I find joy in yoga, sewing, and long hikes in nature. I’d love to support you on your journey to thriving health. Let's create something beautiful together!
From Struggles to Solutions:
My Path to Holistic Healing
My Journey to Functional Nutrition
My journey into functional nutrition, postpartum care, and holistic cooking started long before I ever gave them a name. From a young age, I was drawn to the connection between food, nature, and healing.
One of my earliest experiences with this was when I was 14, on a visit to a small family herb farm. While my mother had scheduled a Reiki massage, I joined a group for a nature walk, learning to identify herbs and plants. That day, I tasted a persimmon straight off the tree for the first time, and at the end of our walk, the herbalist led us into his apothecary—a humble shed lined with mason jars filled with dried herbs and tinctures. I was in awe. His wife then served us a simple, nourishing meal from their garden: herby quinoa salad, crispy fried zucchini, and eggplant. I was captivated. As we drove home along winding country roads, I turned to my mother and asked if she’d take me to the library so I could get books on herbs. That curiosity never faded.
Years later, my personal health struggles deepened my passion for holistic healing. I was dealing with chronic headaches, fatigue, allergies, and breathing issues. One doctor misdiagnosed me with panic attacks and prescribed medication that left me exhausted, struggling with weight gain, and still searching for answers. Another diagnosed me with mitral valve prolapse, but even with that new piece of the puzzle, I knew I needed to take charge of my own health. I started making changes—adjusting my diet, weaning off unnecessary medications, and moving toward a more holistic lifestyle.
Despite my efforts, I still felt like something was missing. My energy never fully returned, and I continued to struggle with headaches and dizziness. It wasn’t until I was finally diagnosed with SIBO that everything clicked. I developed a targeted plan, and for the first time, I truly started to heal. That experience fueled my desire to help others navigate their own health challenges—to be the light at the end of the tunnel for people who feel lost in the maze of symptoms, medications, and unanswered questions.
With 20 years of experience as a chef—first as a pastry chef, then transitioning into plant-based and whole-food cooking after discovering my own food intolerances—I now use food as a tool for healing. I’ve recently completed my certification as a Functional Nutrition Counselor and have spent the past year supporting new mothers as a postpartum doula. I also teach others how to integrate nourishing foods into their lives in a way that feels sustainable and empowering.
Healing isn’t about quick fixes or restrictive diets—it’s about understanding your body, removing the barriers to wellness, and giving yourself the nourishment, movement, and care you truly need. Whether you’re looking to restore your energy, support your gut health, transition to a healthier diet, or find balance after birth, I’m here to help you every step of the way.

What Does It Look Like To Work With Me
l 0n l Functional Nutrition Counseling
Healing takes time, and you don’t have to do it alone. The journey can feel overwhelming, but having dedicated support makes all the difference. When we work together, you’ll have someone in your corner every step of the way—tracking your progress, troubleshooting challenges, and adjusting your plan as your body heals.
We begin with a deep dive into your medical history, diet, lifestyle, and stress to create a bioindividual protocol tailored to your needs. In the first month, we’ll meet weekly (in person or virtually) to set a strong foundation. After that, sessions adjust to biweekly or monthly depending on your program.
Healing isn’t just about following a plan—it’s about having consistent support to keep you on track, celebrate your victories, and provide guidance through challenges. Together, we’ll make sustainable changes that empower you to reclaim your health, restore balance, and get your energy back.
