Our Team

Catherine Kelly Peterson, FNP-C

Hello! I'm Catherine Kelly Peterson, and I'm proud to be a Functional Medicine Nurse Practitioner based in the beautiful South Ogden, Utah. With over 20 years of nursing experience, my journey has been a fulfilling blend of education, patient care, and a deep-seated passion for making a meaningful impact in people's lives.

My adventure began with a Master's degree in Nursing Education, driven by my desire to understand the intricacies of learning and motivation. I absolutely love teaching, and this degree equipped me to be the best at educating and empowering my patients. I've had the pleasure of teaching in academic settings and guiding nursing teams in corporate America, but my heart longed for the direct patient care that makes a real difference.

To fulfill this calling, I pursued a second Master's degree as a Family Nurse Practitioner, enabling me to care for patients of all ages.

As a Functional Medicine Nurse Practitioner, I have the privilege of dedicating quality time to my patients, exploring their personal histories to uncover the root causes of chronic diseases. Functional Medicine aims to restore health by addressing the underlying causes of illness. By considering factors such as genetics, lifestyle, environment, and emotional well-being, we can create personalized treatment plans that promote true healing.

I believe health is a journey, and at Wasatch Functional Medicine, we support our patients every step of the way, helping them achieve their unique health goals. This is what true healthcare looks like, and I am honored to be a part of it.

Shaylee Pettit, DNP, FNP-BC, MSN-Ed

Hello! My name is Shaylee. I am a licensed and nationally board certified Family Nurse Practitioner, specializing in Functional Medicine.

I graduated from Weber State University in 2014 with a Bachelor's degree in Nursing.

With over 10 years of experience as a Registered Nurse, I am comfortable treating patients from many different walks of life. My past experience includes reproductive endocrinology (infertility and 3rd party reproduction), pregnancy, postpartum, newborn care, pediatrics, post-surgical care, and geriatrics.

I continued my education by obtaining a Master's degree in Nursing Education in 2019, due to my love for teaching and helping patients understand different aspects of their health.

Following the completion of this degree, I returned to Weber State University, where I completed the Doctor of Nursing Practice/Family Nurse Practitioner program in 2022. I am a nationally certified Family Nurse Practitioner through the ANCC.

I have a passion for prevention, women's health, infertility awareness, and mental health awareness. My Doctoral project focused on the implementation of screening tools in the school setting to combat the rising rates of adolescent anxiety and depression.

When I am not in the office, I love to spend time with my husband and children. We enjoy going to our family cabin, boating, and all things Disney, including visits to the happiest place on earth!

I believe that every person is unique and has a perspective of what is most important for his or her health. I am a firm believer that the patient-provider experience is a partnership, and I look forward to connecting with each patient as we work together to create a personalized healthcare plan.

Brook Barney, Health Coach

Hello, I'm Brook, a Certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, an autoimmune warrior, and a mother who guides individuals through their health journey. By providing a safe, confidential space to explore and transform, I offer accountability, tools, support, and guidance in developing new sustainable lifestyle changes, patterns, healthy habits, and self-alignment.

My holistic health journey began at 19 with a diagnosis of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), an autoimmune. Battling immobilization and severe pain prompted me to explore natural remedies when conventional treatments fell short. I found ways to manage my pain through nutrition, movement, and mindfulness practices. After earning a Bachelor of Science from Weber State University, I entered the corporate world. Balancing a demanding career with raising two children, one with special needs, took a toll on my health over the next 20 years.

Consistently high stress levels were the norm, coupled with the struggle to handle physical pain and sustain my mental well-being. Realizing the imperative need for significant life changes, I returned to school to deepen my understanding and embodiment of Holistic Health. Pursuing balance through exploration, education, and implementation became the cornerstone of my journey to better health. Shifting from mere survival to thriving, I fully embraced mindful living, mastered nervous system regulation, and adopted a nourishing diet as an integral component of my well-being. My commitment to ongoing learning and teaching led me to attain certification as a yoga teacher (RYT200) in the beautiful practice of yoga, deepening my mindfulness and complementing my passion for Functional and Integrative Health.

Beyond my professional endeavors, I find joy in activities like hiking, trail running, pilates, and camping, as well as mindful practices such as yoga and meditation. Quality time with family and friends, immersion in nature, cooking, learning, and traveling also bring me happiness. I look forward to being a part in your health journey.

Becky Pruitt, Health Coach

Hello! I’m Becky, a national board-certified health and wellness coach (NBC-HWC). Throughout my 20s and early 30s, I experienced a variety of health challenges that had me taking multiple medications that did not fully address my issues. After going from doctor to doctor, I eventually ended up working with a functional medicine practitioner. Through that experience, I learned firsthand how powerful food and lifestyle changes can be. From there, I earned my health coaching certification and have been practicing since 2017. As a coach, I’m fascinated by what helps people make sustainable changes. I believe that knowing what to do to improve one’s health is a great first step but figuring out how to develop healthy habits and implement recommendations over the long term is equally important. In addition to my coaching certification, I am also a certified yoga teacher (RYT200), certified breathwork coach, and student pursuing a master’s in clinical nutrition from Maryland University of Integrative Health. When I’m not working or studying, you can find me hiking the local trails or cooking tasty meals in my kitchen. I look forward to meeting and supporting you on your journey.

Allyson Mills, Front Office Manager, Master Aesthetician, MA

Hi! My name is Ally Mills. I graduated from Skin Science Institute in April of 2023 and became a Licensed Master Aesthetician and Esthetician Instructor. I then went on to gain continued education and became an Acne Expert through Face Reality Skincare and an Aging Specialist from the Skin Cancer Foundation and Colorescience.

I love spending time with my husband, traveling, going to the gym, writing, sewing, going to country concerts, fishing, and watching movies.

Rosalinda Garcia, MA

My name is Rosalinda Garcia and I have been a medical assistant for 18 years. I have worked as a lab technician, worked in Instacare, Family Practice, Urology, with elderly patients and as a Patient Health Advocate. Since my husband has retired, I joined the team at Wasatch Functional Medicine, so I could be closer to home. I love being a Medical Assistant, I love learning about my patients, but I really enjoy helping others the most. I chose to be a medical assistant because I have always enjoyed caring for others and working in Health care. There isn’t anywhere else I’d rather be.

Isabella Mcchesney, Receptionist

Hello there! I'm Izzy, and I'm thrilled to be one of the friendly faces you'll see at Wasatch Functional Medicine. This fall, I'm embarking on an exciting journey at Weber State University to pursue my dream of becoming a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. My role at the clinic is not just a job; it's an incredible opportunity to gain firsthand experience in a field I'm passionate about, surrounded by the most amazing colleagues and wonderful patients.

When I'm not at the clinic, you'll find me basking in all things pink, cherishing time with my amazing boyfriend, and enjoying the great outdoors with my adorable dogs. Life is an adventure, and I'm savoring every moment of it!

MiMi Mackenzie, YOGA

My name is Mimi Mackenzie. I came to yoga after having both my children. I was looking for something that would help me with flexibility, but mostly with self-regulation of emotions. What I found was so much more. I come from a very athletic and structured background (having gone to Olympic Trials as a swimmer in my youth). I was always goal focused and driven for results. If I needed my body to perform, I would ask it to, then deal with the effects after. Slowing down, listening to and connecting to my body was not something I was used to.

When I found yoga and meditation, all that changed. I was finally able to deeply listen. Noticing that your body speaks to you constantly, I realized that this was something I wanted to share, to be of service to others.

I am trained in evidence-based trauma-informed yoga and meditation, vinyasa, was well as yin yoga. A discipline that consists of a series of long held floor poses, targeting your deep connective tissue. I am committed to facilitating spaces that foster a sense of safety, and mind-body-breathe connection.
