Claire Mitchell

Claire Mitchell is a functional medicine practitioner at Mitchell Holistic Health. She holds a PhD in Spanish and Applied Linguistics and was a teacher and professor for 13 years. She was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s after giving birth to her daughter, Leah, and then began on her own path to heal her thyroid. Out of her own healing journey grew her passion to help others find healing like she has, and so, she decided to go back to school and pursue another Master’s degree in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine and open Mitchell Holistic Health with her husband, Phillip. Claire now works with clients to figure out the ‘why’ behind their health concerns they’ve been experiencing — whether it is related to the thyroid, gut, skin, hormones, or some other concern — Claire takes a proactive approach rooted in functional medicine that helps her clients regain their health and reclaim their life.
