Our stories help guide our next steps…
My own health journey has been deeply personal. For years, I battled endometriosis, anxiety, and depression, often feeling so overwhelmed that I struggled to care for my children and be the friend, wife, and sister I aspired to be. At times, I even felt hopeless. Relying on the traditional healthcare system, only to find myself stuck in a cycle of medications that didn’t provide true healing. It wasn’t until I embraced a holistic lifestyle—focusing on real food, a toxin-free environment, and spiritual well-being—that I finally experienced real, lasting relief. Through God’s grace, I was able to heal naturally, and that transformation ignited my desire to help others do the same.
I pursued my passion by graduating from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition (IIN) in 2020, where I completed the Health Coach Training Program (HCTP) with a Master Course in Gut Health. To deepen my expertise, I completed IIN’s Coaching Intensive Practicum in 2024, becoming a National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC). I also expanded my knowledge of functional medicine by completing the Kalish Institute’s Interpreting GI Map Course in 2024. My education in functional medicine, gut health, and integrative nutrition has equipped me to guide others on their own health journeys.
When I’m not coaching, you’ll probably find me hanging out with my family, cooking & dancing in my kitchen, or somewhere outdoors. I enjoy good food, deep conversations, and sharing God’s truth about how we can nourish our bodies and live with joy!
Since founding Nourished by Alma in 2020, I’ve worked with clients to tackle chronic health challenges, partnering with Functional Medicine Practitioners to restore gut health and create personalized wellness plans. My approach integrates behavioral and lifestyle changes rooted in biblical principles, along with specialized diets tailored to each client’s unique needs.
I love making health simple and doable—combining faith, nutrition, and lifestyle shifts in a way that feels empowering (not overwhelming!).
I truly believe that God designed our bodies to thrive. And I find great joy in helping people return to the original design that our Creator intended, empowering them to live confidently and freely in their wellness.
What People Are Saying
“
When you are on the road to achieve better health and nutrition, it really is a journey. You need to have someone to go on that journey with you who is committed to walk with you every step of the way, that will help you keep going when you fall or take a few steps back, and someone that you trust to get you to your destination. Alma Ronquillo is that person.
I started my health journey with Alma in May of 2021 and I am so grateful for the help, guidance, and care she has provided. I felt heard and helped. I never felt rushed in our appointments. She answered my questions with patience and thoroughness. And if she didn’t know the answer to a question, she would do the research on my behalf or point me in the right direction to find it myself. She held me accountable and taught me how to take care of my body so that it could heal naturally. She reminded me that I am not broken. She encouraged me to wait and be patient for the healing to come. She has truly been my advocate in every way.
Her emphasis on the mind, heart, stress management, and prayer were also excellent components adding into a total picture of whole health and wellness. The body, mind, and heart are one, and Alma sees that. She has walked with me through some deep valleys and helped me get to the other side.”

Dear Alma,
Thank you for the time and dedication you gave me by teaching me how to live a more holistic lifestyle.
Your help allowed me to treat the physical issues I had. Conventional medicine only addresses the obvious based on limited testing. However, with your guidance, I found the proper test needed to manage my problem. I am grateful for your guidance through the four recommended phases to clean my system. I wanted to share my success with factual evidence. I have included a photo taken in 2020 showing my immune reaction to a mosquito bite. You see in the picture how my immune system was out of control. I included a second photo of a mosquito bite this summer, 2022, and I am happy to report that my body's response shows healing.
Thank you again for your professional and spiritual help
