Hi, I’m Tristen—functional health coach, herbalist, and self-proclaimed label-reader, garden-dweller, and root-cause digger. I didn’t set out to start a business. I set out to feel better.

Like a lot of people, I hit a point where my body wasn’t responding the way it used to. I was tired, inflamed, bloated, burnt out, and getting nowhere with the “just eat less and exercise more” advice. So I started looking deeper—into functional testing, nutrition, hormone health, gut health, inflammation, and all the things they don’t teach you in a 10-minute doctor visit. That journey turned into a career. That career turned into a calling. And eventually, that calling turned into two branches of the same tree.

Tristen Menslage Coaching is where I guide women through deeper healing—using functional lab testing, targeted protocols, and personalized coaching that cuts through the noise and gets results.

Feathered Fawn Apothecary is where I create. It’s where I connect with the plants growing outside my back door and turn them into tallow balms, tinctures, and everyday remedies that support real bodies through real life.

I live in Dillsburg, Pennsylvania, on the land my grandfather once cared for—surrounded by a creek, trees, and plenty of wild things. It’s become the heart of both my healing and my work: a quiet, grounded place to grow roots, both literally and figuratively. This work is personal. It’s practical. It’s rooted in nature and shaped by experience. If you're looking for support that blends science with soul, you’re in the right place.
