Your body doesn't just decide to stop working. My job is to find out why.

I'm Krista Pereira, a Functional Medicine Nutritionist and the founder of Symbiosis Wellness.

I help children and adults uncover the root causes behind chronic health concerns using a personalized, root-cause approach to functional medicine nutrition. Rather than chasing symptoms, I take time to understand your story, connect the dots, and identify the underlying factors contributing to your symptoms — so we can resolve them.

Many of the people I work with have spent years searching for answers to symptoms like chronic gut & digestive issues, IBS, SIBO, histamine intolerance, mast cell activation (MCAS), mold illness, ADHD, PANS/PANDAS, eczema, autoimmune conditions, chronic fatigue, and hormone imbalances.

Whether you're in Petaluma, Sonoma/Marin Counties or working with me virtually, my goal is to help you understand why your symptoms are happening so you can move toward lasting healing.

Client Testimonials

River's Mom

“We sought out Krista to help with our daughter’s ongoing gut issues. We had already seen multiple providers and tried different protocols, but each time we stopped the supplements, her loose stools and tummy pain would come right back.
Krista helped us choose the right testing and figure out what was really going on. Within just a few weeks of working with her, our daughter’s stools were solid and her tummy pain was gone. It had been years since she had been pain-free!
It’s now been almost six months, and she is still having regular, healthy bowel movements with zero tummy pain. We are so grateful to Krista for helping our daughter finally feel better.”

“I highly recommend working with Krista. I struggled with chronic Lyme for over 10 years and have tried absolutely everything.
I would describe Krista’s approach like building a house. Instead of only addressing the Lyme, she started by rebuilding my foundation and then slowly we worked through the other pieces.
It was the first time I felt like someone was seeing and addressing ALL of me! Not just the Lyme, but my digestion and absorption, airway and sleep, mental health, and overall well-being.
My entire life has changed for the better. For the first time in a very long time, I can genuinely say that I feel great and I’m confident it will stay this way! I’m so grateful that I found her!”
“We came to Krista for help with our 3-year-old son’s eczema after feeling like we had already tried everything.
Within just one week, we started noticing a difference. His skin was beginning to clear, and he was finally sleeping through the night again!”
Cam’s mom
“I saw Krista hoping to address my poor digestion and mood issues that I thought would never go away.
I truly have never felt so supported by a practitioner and could jump for joy at the results I got in such a short amount of time.”

“Krista has been an invaluable part of my healing journey.

She is so thorough and truly loves getting down to the root cause of her clients’ health issues.

After years of struggling and many practitioners, she effortlessly got down to what was really causing my migraines and digestive imbalances.

I will be forever grateful.”
