Tricia Mendoza
Tricia is a native of Fort Worth. Her journey to Fort Worth Wellness began with a love of science. She earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology with a minor in Chemistry from the University of North Texas. She began working for a large pharmaceutical company and was there for 13 years.
However, Tricia had an awakening about her career choice after her son developed eczema, food sensitivities, severe nut allergy and an inability to detox from various chemicals coming from food, vaccines and other environmental sources. This ignited a firestorm in her to find ways to help her son heal. That is when she was introduced to functional medicine and alternative therapies. He is now doing much better and is free from the severe nut allergy and was able to find relief from the toxic chemicals that were so difficult for his little body to remove on it’s own. They give all glory to God for his healing and continued health because they know that we can’t do any of this alone.
With all of this experience behind her, and in her own personal journey to finding balance in her lifestyle with food and nutrition and other invaluable holistic therapies, her desire to help others with similar issues grew stronger and stronger. Tricia decided to learn various body work modalities and became a bodywork therapist while also attending and graduating from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition.
She continues to study the various methods and systems that would end up becoming the basis of what functional medicine really is. Helping others not by treating symptoms, but by looking at the individual as a whole and getting to the root cause of what is ailing them. This has ultimately lead her to her current role here at Fort Worth Wellness. Tricia helps those who are misinformed about what they can do for themselves and to introduce new ways of looking at and supporting our bodies. She focuses on showing patients how they can work on healing and balancing their bodies with the help of very specific modalities and instruments to support the natural flow of energy that is needed for optimal function of the entire nervous system as well as every organ system of the body… and above all, living a Christ-centered life. She is passionate about building relationships and providing continuous support to those on their wellness journey.
