Having experienced, firsthand, the power of nutrition and lifestyle changes while overcoming my own struggle with infertility and burnout, I am keen to empower others to reclaim their wellness and vitality. The body has an incredible ability to heal! SAFM has been a game changer for me personally and professionally, from healing my own asthma to sharing my knowledge with those whom I have been blessed to work. It’s true reward to see them move, step by step, into a place of sustainable health.
I am truly honored to play a role in the functional medicine movement by bringing on-board more whip smart, like-minded, health focused professionals to be a part of the SAFM family! SAFM and functional medicine ARE the true health care, and I am delighted to be a part of the team.
Sue Rapley, INHC,CIHC, AFMC
When my son began experiencing health issues that seemed unresolvable, I turned to Functional Medicine. Seemingly miraculously, my son got better. The experience ignited in me a passion to understand how this had been possible and a deep desire to get this information into the hands of others. I feel truly blessed to be a Health Coach and to have found the SAFM family. These opportunities are allowing me to play a part in the change I so desperately want to see in the world. I am truly honored to be a part of the SAFM team since this work is something that I believe in with every cell of my being.

I am truly passionate about helping people be empowered to take their health into their own hands! Having personally navigated my own chronic illness, I’m thankful for the opportunity to now guide others in their own path to better health. Likewise, I’m immensely grateful for the opportunity to be part of the SAFM team and to see people become empowered by their knowledge and learning experience here. Functional Medicine changed my life and I can only hope that I am able to share the wonders of what I was gifted with, an incredible tribe of like-minded practitioners!

From working in corporate wellness to “disease management” to my own practice, Balanced Bodies, I’ve worn many different hats. Each of them helping to shape who I am and what my practice looks like today. Since embarking on my journey with SAFM I have not only found the knowledge to truly transform clients lives, but arguably more importantly, I found the community as well. I feel so humbled and fortunate to be part of the SAFM team, helping students to feel the warmth, support, and guidance that was so generously shared with me.
Shane Wetzel
I am on a constant, transformational journey of growth for the benefit of my own personal development and that of those enlightened enough to take a similar path. Being on the team at SAFM is a perfect fit for my skills and my passion for growing with a like-minded community. My goal is to support students “leveling up” their skills so they achieve the ultimate goal of healing our society. I offer 20 years of management, business ownership and teaching experience that reaches from coast to coast in the US, Japan, and Rome. I live in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia with my wife and two children.
Jodi Franklin, Functional Medicine Health Coach
I have been in the health and fitness industry for over 25 years. After managing and consulting for health clubs, teaching group fitness classes, and owning a healthy cooking business, I decided to go back to school to study integrative nutrition and then applied functional medicine at SAFM. In less than one year, I used my new clinical know-how to achieve a full practice focused on helping clients put their conditions into remission and live vibrant, healthy lives. I love sharing that challenge and experience with other practitioners who are ready to take their own wellness practices to the next level, and connecting with healthcare experts seeking to collaborate on transformation.
Beth Berry
I’m passionate about sharing my successes in all things technical, creative and administrative to build strong relationships. Connections are the foundation of what SAFM offers making it easy for me to be energized around making sure SAFM’s programs and customer support department meet the needs of our students.
The school’s focus on creating and sustaining health from “the inside out” resonates with my own approach to staying well. I try not to miss an opportunity to garden or to run and hike through the Hill Country of Austin, Texas with my dogs, family and friends. Being able to partner with brilliant, compassionate practitioners seeking to learn how to better serve others in their health journeys is a responsibility I really enjoy.
Lisa Vasile, NP
I’m thrilled to be part of the SAFM team and supporting students excited to shift the paradigm of medicine! After years working as RN/NP, it was clear that the traditional “wait for a diagnosis and treat with medicine” system was a suboptimal solution that left patients feeling “crazy”, frustrated, and less than truly well. Functional medicine empowers us to find the “why and where” of disease and symptoms and reverse them! It’s my honor to teach, inspire and motivate the masses who are ready to stop waiting to heal.
Eddie Carter
Joining SAFM and meeting Tracy in 2017 was literally a dream come true as it allowed me to join a great movement and an amazing team. As a husband and father of two, true health and enhancing the way we approach it is a passion for me and my family. Strategically enabling SAFM to educate more health practitioners is my way of helping to positively change as many lives as possible. It is genuinely rewarding to work with a team people so excited about their work, and to share my experience and expertise in building scalable, profitable, results-driven businesses to help the school achieve its purpose.
