FNA February Graduate Feature | Kerri Takata with One Together Coaching and Consulting

Описание: Functional Nurse Academy February Graduate Feature | Kerri Takata with One Together Coaching and Consulting

What happens when a nurse realizes that weight loss, chronic illness, and burnout cannot be solved with diet plans, exercise programs, or medications alone — and instead discovers healing through root-cause care, nervous system regulation, and faith?
In this powerful episode, I’m joined by Kerri Takata, RN, HWNC-BC, BC-FMNS, BC-FNHC, CMHC, CPLC, founder of One Together Coaching and Consulting, who shares her journey from years of chronic illness, weight struggles, and medication dependence to restored metabolic health, freedom, and purpose through functional medicine and faith-based healing.
Like so many patients and providers, Kerri followed conventional medical advice for years yet continued to feel stuck. Despite doing “everything right,” her symptoms persisted and her health continued to decline. It wasn’t until she incorporated her faith and started implementing functional medicine modalities that she began to understand the deeper drivers behind her weight struggles, metabolic dysfunction, and chronic stress. By addressing root causes, regulating her nervous system, and approaching healing with compassion rather than restriction, Kerri was able to restore her health and successfully come off multiple medications.
Faith plays a central role in Kerri’s story. In our conversation, we explore the powerful connection between spiritual health and physical healing, including divine encounters and insight that reshaped how she approached self-worth, stress, and recovery. Together, we discuss how emotional and spiritual healing often unlocks progress when nothing else has worked.
Kerri shares her experience with the Functional Nurse Academy including how the CE-accredited training not only strengthened her clinical confidence, but was reimbursed by her employer at the time. After completing FNA, Kerri was ultimately able to step away from her role in conventional healthcare and transition fully into operating her own holistic coaching practice.
Today, Kerri supports clients who feel trapped in survival mode, helping them heal metabolically, regulate their nervous systems, and achieve sustainable weight loss without shame, restriction, or burnout.
Our conversation also highlights the limitations of the conventional healthcare system and why so many people feel unheard, overmedicated, and without answers. Kerri’s journey is a powerful reminder that when nurses are equipped with the right training, they can create practices that honor the body, mind, and spirit — and help clients finally experience lasting healing.
