Functional Intake Session
Charlotte, NC | Virtual Care
The required starting point for care at NOURIVA
Healing begins with being truly listened to.
The Functional Intake Session is a comprehensive, one-on-one assessment designed to understand your full health story, nervous system patterns, and the root contributors behind your symptoms. This functional intake offers a grounded starting point for women seeking thoughtful, holistic clinical support for migraines, chronic stress, and nervous system dysregulation.
You will not find this work packaged through trends or constant online visibility. NOURIVA is intentionally quieter, built through conversation, referral, and trust. The intake reflects that same pace, allowing space to slow down, listen carefully, and understand what your body has been communicating over time.
All ongoing care at NOURIVA begins with this functional intake session.

Who Is The Functional Intake For?
This functional intake is for women who feel stuck in fight or flight and are ready to understand why.​
​
It is especially supportive for women experiencing:
-
Migraines or recurring neurological pain
-
Chronic stress, burnout, or nervous system dysregulation
-
Symptoms that have been dismissed, minimized, or labeled as “normal”
-
Symptoms that are being or have been managed without a deeper understanding of "why" they began.
You do not need a diagnosis to begin. You only need a sense that something is out of balance and a willingness to look beneath the surface.

BECOMING YOU AGAIN...
Most importantly, this work is not designed to make you reliant on care long term. The intention is to help you understand your body, shift patterns, and build the capacity to live your life with greater ease and independence over time.
What We Do During Your Functional Intake Session
During the Functional Intake Session, we take a whole-person view of your health, with particular attention to how your nervous system, nutrition, lifestyle, and history intersect over time.
​
This session includes:
-
A 90-minute comprehensive functional and nervous system history
-
Review of current symptoms, migraines, stress patterns, and daily rhythms
-
Pattern-based review of any existing records you choose to share (labs, reports, prior testing)
-
Identification of key contributors to nervous system load
-
Creation of a Personalized Wellness Plan with a focused 90-day direction
You will also receive:
-
Custom nutrition recommendations
-
Personalized supplement guidance
-
Nervous system regulation practices tailored to your capacity
-
A 45-minute follow-up session to review, integrate, and clarify your plan
This process is designed to bring clarity and steadiness, not overwhelm.

Why the Functional Intake Is Required
At NOURIVA, care is not offered a la carte.
Your symptoms did not appear in isolation, and your nervous system does not heal through guesswork. The functional intake allows us to work responsibly and intentionally, using your full history to guide care rather than relying on symptom-based assumptions.
​
This intake creates a clear foundation so that any next steps are appropriate, supportive, and aligned with your capacity. Some women complete the intake and use their Wellness Plan independently. Others choose to continue with additional support for a period of time.
There is no expectation to continue beyond what feels helpful.

What Happens After
Your Functional Intake Session
After your functional intake and follow-up session, you will have:
​
-
A clearer understanding of what may be contributing to your symptoms
-
A Personalized Wellness Plan you can begin implementing immediately
-
Guidance on whether ongoing support would be beneficial
​
The goal is not to keep you in care, but to support you until you no longer need it.
