The Healing Opportunities Framework
Rooted in Functional Diagnostic Nutrition®, shifting the paradigm from symptom masking to holistic self-healing.
“We don't diagnose or treat disease. We test, identify hidden internal stressors, and reveal multiple healing opportunities so the body can heal itself.”
— FDN Philosophy
Meet Cherie Miranda
At CM Holistic Wellness, I bridge the gap between rigorous functional health investigation and compassionate lifestyle coaching. My mission is to empower individuals who are tired of chronic fatigue, digestive distress, and hormone imbalances to stop guessing and start uncovering root-level answers.
I bring years of holistic health and wellness experience. I am a certified Meditation Instructor, Ayurvedic Health Instructor, and Yoga Teacher through Gaja Collective. I am a certified coach through Guiding Mindful Change. I am a Certified Herbal Information Specialist through the American Botanical Council and have had training in aromatherapy. I am a Certified Hypnotherapist, a Reiki Master, and I hold a certificate in Holistic Wellness from Golden West College.
Currently completing my certification as a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner (FDN-P), I practice the foundational Functional Diagnostic Nutrition methodology. We look at the body as an interconnected system rather than isolated symptoms. Through thorough analysis of the H.I.D.D.E.N. internal stressors—Hormones, Immune system, Digestion, Detoxification, Energy production, and the Nervous system—we uncover multiple healing opportunities.
Together, we utilize these clinical insights to design your tailored D.R.E.S.S. for Health Success® program (Diet, Rest, Exercise, Stress Reduction, and Supplementation) to rebuild natural cellular vitality and long-term self-regulation.
