Feel like your body’s been trying to tell you something — but no one’s really listening?
At Barefoot Balance Holistic Health, we do things differently.
Here, your story matters. Your symptoms aren’t dismissed — they’re decoded. And your path to healing isn’t a prescription — it’s a partnership.
I’m Stacey Blackwell, a certified functional medicine health coach specializing in gut health, hormone balance, and clean, nourishing nutrition. I founded Barefoot Balance after years of supporting both myself and my own family through serious health challenges — and witnessing firsthand the powerful transformation that happens when we combine evidence-based strategies with intuition, self-trust, and holistic support.
My clients are often smart, capable people who feel exhausted, foggy, inflamed, or emotionally drained — even though they’re “doing everything right.” Sound familiar?
Here’s the thing: true healing doesn’t happen through willpower alone. It happens when we stop ignoring the whispers of the body and start reconnecting with our biology, our lifestyle, and our purpose.
Using advanced functional lab work, personalized nutrition, and a whole-person approach, I help you uncover what’s really going on beneath the surface — and guide you toward sustainable shifts that support energy, clarity, and balance.
Every session is personalized, collaborative, and judgment-free. We’ll walk barefoot (figuratively, or literally if you want!) through the healing process — blending science, soul, and support to help you feel like you again.
Because when you feel seen, supported, and empowered… everything changes.
About Us
Stacey Michele Blackwell, CHHC
Stacey Michele Blackwell, a Certified Holistic Integrative Health Coach, is not just another health coach. Her unique approach to holistic wellness, honed over a decade of experience, focuses on helping her clients identify the root cause of their health challenges—whether physical, emotional, or a combination of both—and guiding clients toward sustainable solutions.
Stacey’s dedication to natural and functional medicine is not just a passion but an ironclad commitment to ongoing learning. After being diagnosed in 2012 with cervical cancer, as well as painfully watching from the sidelines as she lost several loved ones to VERY preventable health conditions, she decided to change her life to help others change theirs. Her now extensive education, including graduation from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in 2022 and completion of numerous courses with Alive Academy and New Eden School of Natural Health and Herbal Studies, is a testament to her pursuit of knowledge. Currently, she is furthering her expertise at the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy, where she is set to graduate as a Functional Medicine Health Coach, then moving on to the NBC-WHC board certification.
Holding certifications in Integrative Holistic Nutrition, Hormone Health, and Gut Health, Stacey has helped many individuals achieve their health and lifestyle goals. She approaches each client with the understanding that health is deeply personal and there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Her approach is grounded in the belief that true wellness comes from addressing the whole person—mind, body, and spirit.
Stacey takes great pride in her work, offering clients a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore their health concerns and work towards healing. Her dedication to her clients and her craft continues to inspire those around her, making her a trusted partner in their wellness journeys.
Bryan Paul Blackwell, CHHC
Bryan Paul’s journey into holistic health began in 2013 when he was diagnosed with stage 4 lymphoma and thyroid cancer, including a tumor the size of a roll of quarters resting on top of his heart. Despite being given just 3 to 5 years to live, Bryan chose to fight for his life. After enduring a 13-hour surgery and one round of radiation, the debilitating side effects led him to explore holistic approaches to healing.
Through his extensive and ongoing journey, Bryan has immersed himself in various natural health modalities, addressing not just the physical body but also the mind and spirit. His dedication to holistic healing has yielded remarkable results, with Bryan not only surviving but thriving—feeling stronger and healthier in both body and mind than ever before.
A graduate of the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and a Certified Integrative Health Coach, Bryan is currently deepening his expertise in brain and gut health. His passion for continued education fuels his mission to empower others to realize their innate ability to heal themselves.
