Lifestyle Practices

What do you do every day that impacts your mental wellbeing? Are you getting enough sleep each night? Do you have a set of regular routines in place? 2BE Wellness will consider your current lifestyle practices and make recommendations for change.

Stress Management

How do you react under pressure? Do you let steam off naturally, or do you feel your mind working around the clock? At 2Be Wellness, we guide you towards strategies that will help you work on resilience and bring more steady calm and centeredness into your daily life.

Nutrition

Diet matters. What you eat, how much you eat, and when you eat can have a profound impact on your mental security. 2BE Wellness will observe your current dietary plan and make adjustments and recommendations to your eating patterns – making sure you consume proper nutrients that nurture your brain and body.

Supplements

As holistic practitioners, our medicinal approach is all-natural and all-organic. To truly live again, you need certain micronutrients to recalibrate your mind. We provide you with the medicinal support you need to feed your brain with the right nutrients. We use professional pharmaceutical-grade supplements that nourish the brain and body.

Lab Testing

2Be Wellness analyzes your physical and mental health by taking into consideration that part of this evaluation may include lab work to look at the physical imbalances in more depth. This may include advanced diagnostic testing, such as ordering a gut microbiome test or looking at amino acids. These are just a few of the advanced diagnostic tests we offer at 2Be Wellness. These tests can help guide the treatment.

Connections/Community

Who has your back when days get dark? At 2Be Wellness, we look at the effect that bonds with friends and family have on the mind. We focus on your connections and how certain relationships impact your mental wellbeing.

Dr. Yvette Kaunismaki graduated from the University of Nevada Reno and went on to attend the University of Nevada School of Medicine (UNSOM) where she received her medical degree.  She completed her adult psychiatry residency program at UNSOM.  She was the chief resident during her 4th year of residency.  She has been practicing psychiatry for over 15 years.

She believes in the holistic approach to mental health.  She works in the model of personalized medicine, where she treats the whole person and not just a presenting symptom.  The mind-body approach to wellness is integral to her practice.  She has realized over the years in practice, that the model of looking at the compete person has been missing from the western philosophy of medicine.  Every part of a person’s life and physical/spiritual health play a role in their mental well-being.  She wants to share this passion for overall health with her patients.  She is finishing her Integrated Psychiatric Fellowship through the Integrated Psychiatry Institute.  She has also studied Ayurveda and incorporates these different healing modalities into her practice.  She looks forward to helping you on your journey to vitality and wellness.

Yvette is the owner of 2Be Wellness.

Allison Fry is an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) who is board certified as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC).

Throughout her years of education and working as a professional in psychiatry, Allison often felt that there were key components missing in traditional mental health treatment. Time and again, she observed that a purely psychopharmacological approach often resulted in limited relief of mental health symptoms. This singular treatment modality often fell short and had unintended consequences. In response, Allison sought out learning opportunities to apply holistic health in psychiatry. She completed courses in nutrition, supplements, the gut-brain axis, and healthy lifestyle habits. Allison also enrolled in a fellowship in Integrated Psychiatry, growing her passion for holistic health. Following her newfound career path, Allison vowed to empower clients to gain independence from their mental illness by addressing root causes rather than simply focusing on symptomology.

Outside of her goal to establish holistic mental health services in her community, Allison enjoys spending much of her time with her spouse and two canine companions. She can often be found spending summer days paddleboarding, mountain biking, or backpacking. In winter, she frequents the local ski slopes. Ever since living in Japan, her favorite foods consist of a rich variety of Asian cuisine. For self-care, she escapes from it all, finding peace on long hikes in the Sierra Nevada Mountains.
