A PLACE TO BRING YOU BACK home TO yourself
Spring & Stone is a functional nutrition practice built on the promise that health and abundant joy lie ahead for you.
Where there is hope, there is freedom
HOW DID I GET HERE?
It’s one of the first things you may have asked yourself upon being diagnosed with chronic illness—or perhaps not even being able to find a diagnosis yet. And while mainstream healthcare has its strengths, tenaciously digging down to the root cause of an illness isn’t one of them. So you’re left to figure it out on your own, shackled by brain fog, physical and emotional pain, crushing fatigue, and a whole host of other symptoms. It feels impossible to confidently, joyfully live out your life purpose – let alone get out of bed or really show up for your family – when you’re so sick. And you’re so sick of being sick.
I know this pain. I’ve carried this pain, too.
For years I suffered quietly from a mystery illness that doctors labeled as chronic fatigue. And as I agonized, I also watched four cancer diagnoses unfold within my family in six months. It felt like total destruction – demolition down to the foundations of our home.
There is light, joy, and redemption at the end of
this tunnel, and full bodily healing is possible for you.
And together we will see it through.
But here's what else i know

BRITTANY OSTEBO, CFNC-P, BC
Functional Nutrition Practitioner, joy seeker, & story collector.
When my grandfather was diagnosed with leukemia and was given a year to live – one of four cancer diagnoses to plague my family in the span of six months – I became determined to learn everything I could about illness and physiology. And as I clung to hope for his healing, I was battling my own chronic mystery illness with debilitating migraines, stroke-like symptoms, and blood sugar crashes that always ended in a visit from the paramedics.
Determined to find answers for both myself and for my grandfather, I spent all hours of the night reading medical studies and became fluent in critical thinking and investigative research: the early foundations of Spring & Stone.
Over the following years, I connected with various Functional Medicine doctors and countless people who had beat stage-four cancer naturally to better understand their approach to healing. During this time, I became a Functional Nutrition Practitioner dedicated to bringing hope, healing, and renewal to people buckling under the weight of chronic illness – myself included.
As I healed my own body through Functional Medicine, Spring & Stone was born, bubbling up from the pain of my chronic mystery illness and my family’s battles with cancer. My tear-stained story – one of sickness, entrapment, and heartbreak – became the foundations for regeneration and freedom, which I now bring to my patients through Spring & Stone.
When your windows and walls are cracked and your home is built on unstable ground, it doesn’t matter how many times you repair or repaint. An old, broken home must be restored from the ground up – its foundation repaired, walls replaced, spirit renewed.
And such is the case for you.
When you’re weary and broken down by years of chronic illness, patching up your body’s broken pieces by, treating your symptoms won’t restore your foundation to the body’s original design.
Together, we will look beyond surface-level symptoms and patiently unearth the source of the dysfunction that’s plaguing your body and draining life from your home.
Together, we will steadily chip away at that underlying dysfunction to bring your body back to equilibrium and then rebuild your diet, habits, and beliefs to support continued healing.
Together we will see it through.

THE CRUX of spring & STONE
BUILT ON BELIEF
HEALING IS POSSIBLE.
True healing flows not from flippantly
treating surface-level symptoms but
patiently excavating the depths of your
disease. Restoration means that we
reset your body, faithfully bringing it
back to its original design.
LIFE STARTS IN THE HOME.
When your health is fully restored, so is
your home. Bodily renewal is what
allows you to pour out into your loved
ones, live out your purpose with joy, and
seek continued healing for yourself, your
family, and your community.
ACTION FOLLOWS BELIEF.
Hope is integral to healing. Tenacious
hope is what tells us that there is a
better way to heal, catalyzes us to
commit to the rebuilding of our bodily
temple, and reminds us that health and
abundant joy are our birthright.
THERE IS MORE TO LEARN.
Through extensive data collection,
investigative questioning, and
biofeedback, we can crack open the
root cause of your illness and help you
understand what’s actually happening
in your body.
THINGS I TREASURE
NOW FOR THE IMPORTANT STUFF
Gathering wildflowers with my littles
Restoring antique pieces from the flea market
Traveling and immersing myself in culture and food
Curling up by the fire with a book and chai latte in hand
Driving down backroads with windows down, country music up
Making pit stops on road trips to explore the natural world
And equipping people like you to reclaim their story and come alive
