Deanna Minich, PhD, CN

Dr. Minich developed her expertise in the nutrition field over the past fifteen years by serving in the food, medical food and dietary supplement industries and by counseling patients in private practice. Her academic path has been focused on human biology, nutrition and metabolism. Her doctoral research and scientific publications are specific to essential fatty acid absorption and metabolism.

Additionally, she is a certified nutritionist (C.N.) by the Washington Department of Health and a Certified Nutrition Specialist (C.N.S.) through the American College of Nutrition. She was elected Fellow of the American College of Nutrition in 2001 and has been a member of various nutrition organizations such as the American Society for Nutrition Science. Dr. Minich has traveled extensively and studied abroad for a number of years.

Her academic training has been complemented by her in-depth study of East Indian philosophy and spirituality. Her natural inclination towards the chakra system has led her to follow a path of intuitively reading and painting individuals’ energy fields. This ability to tap into chakras has been further refined through years of training and study with various mentors. In addition to intuitive assessment, Dr. Minich is trained in Reiki, has been instructed in the Shamanistic tradition and uses the tools of emotional release work through the Grief Recovery Institute.

Currently, Dr. Minich lives in Port Orchard, Washington. She has a private practice and spends her time consulting, writing and presenting her unique system of food-chakra integration.
