Charis is a Nutrition Therapist Master, oncology nurse, and founder of Prime To Nourish, a holistic nutrition and wellness practice dedicated to helping individuals understand what their body truly needs to restore vibrant health. She holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Exercise Science from Oregon State University and a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Creighton University.
After spending her entire nursing career in oncology, caring for both adults and children in inpatient and outpatient settings, Charis was inspired to deepen her understanding of what creates true health. That passion led her to study at the Nutrition Therapy Institute (NTI), where she now finds immense joy in educating and mentoring future nutrition professionals as an instructor.
Through Prime To Nourish, Charis bridges science and holistic health principles to help clients identify the unique stressors impacting their health and uncover their body’s priorities for restoration. Her practice is grounded in foundational nutrition—recognizing that vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and fatty acids are the essential components behind every biochemical process in the body. By aligning these nutritional foundations with the body’s natural rhythms, Charis empowers her clients to restore balance, build resilience, and cultivate lasting vitality. Drawing on her extensive medical background and a compassionate, systems-based perspective, she guides each person toward true healing by supporting the body’s inherent capacity to repair and thrive.
Outside of teaching or working with clients, Charis’ favorite ways to spend her time is with her family and friends out in nature or in the kitchen crafting delicious meals.
