Mast Cell 360® Clinic: Your Path to Healing Starts Here
Mast Cell 360® Clinic: Your Path to Healing Starts Here
Exciting Changes for the New Year
- We’re thrilled to announce that new processes mean shorter wait times for our Roadmap Sessions—our shortest ever!
- We are now accepting applications to work with our expert team in the new year. Unlike before, we are now accepting international clients!
- Join one of the few clinics specializing in advanced cases of MCAS and related conditions.
- We’re expanding options for Emotional Support and Safe and Sound Protocol offerings!
Compassionate, Results-Driven Support for Complex Cases
At Mast Cell 360®, we provide comprehensive, personalized guidance to support your healing journey. Whether you’re managing Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), Mold Toxicity, or Histamine Intolerance, our team of experts is here to help you achieve real, lasting results.
Why Choose Mast Cell 360?
- Proven Methodology: Our unique MC360® Method has helped over 700+ clients.
- Specialized Expertise: We help complex cases of MCAS, Histamine Intolerance, and more.
- Personalized Care: Every client receives tailored guidance to meet their individual needs.
What are Your Options?
- Emotional Support: We are expanding the emotional support aspects of our practice, leveraging cutting-edge methods to help you be your best self. Emotional Support clients do not need to be Foundational or Advanced clients.
- Foundational Support: We have had many ask if they can meet with someone for just a single session – and we listened. Foundational clients can meet just once – or even multiple times – with our practitioners. Foundational services are at a dramatically lower cost than Advanced services, and each session is treated as a ‘first time’ session. Bring your questions, we’ll help you get answers. This also focuses on short-term assistance, not Advanced Support.
- *Strategy Session: if you’re looking for these choose Foundational.
- Advanced Support: For those looking for a comprehensive consulting option with MCAS! Again, you asked and we listened. Previously, this was the only support offering we had available, and only for those who lived in the lower 48 contiguous United States. We have expanded this offering (with some special considerations which you’ll get more detail on in the pre-screening) to now include international clients.
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
Thank you for your interest in Mast Cell 360!
We are a remote consulting practice. Our practitioners do not diagnose, treat, prescribe, or provide therapy. This means you still need to be under the care and supervision of your local medical or mental health provider while working with Mast Cell 360 practitioners. You can read more about our practitioners below.
Who We Work With:
People dealing with Mast Cell Activation Syndrome and Histamine Intolerance, along with related conditions such as:
- Mold Toxicity
- Sensitivities
- Chronic Fatigue
- Salicylate Intolerance
- Neuroinflammation
We can only offer limited support with those who are:
- Pregnant
- Breastfeeding
- Under 3 years of age
- Undergoing chemotherapy treatment
- Have medical complications outside the skill level of our practitioners
Costs:
All expenses are out-of-pocket. Mast Cell 360 services are not billable to insurance nor can we
provide superbills due to the nature of the practice.
Applying to the Mast Cell 360 Practice
The Mast Cell 360 practice now offers you three paths to better health and wellness:
- Emotional Support as well as the Safe and Sound Protocol(“SSP”) with our Emotional Support Coaches
- Foundational Client support through one-at-a-time sessions with our Health Coaches
- Advanced Client support with our Lead Practitioners and Health Coaches
If you are interested in working with a Mast Cell 360 practitioner, we welcome you to apply to the practice!
The application process helps us determine if the practice might be a good fit for you. We do this because we want everyone to be able to use their resources in the way that will best serve their needs.
While we have great success rates, online health consulting isn’t right for every case. We want you to be sure you’re in the right place. We don’t want anyone to lose time or pay us money if we can’t help.
Because of this, we will let you know whether we believe your case is a good fit for what we offer in the practice, as quickly in the process as possible.
Submitting an application does not place you on a waiting list or guarantee an appointment. It is the first step of the process to apply to the Mast Cell 360® Clinic.
Please note that the application review times may vary due to the high number of applicants in the queue. If you are accepted into the practice, the next appointment availability varies depending on current demand and availability of our practitioners.
The Application Process:
We are currently accepting applications. Please review the application process below carefully as it will answer many of the questions you may have.
- Prescreening – Click the green “Apply” button to complete the pre-screening which is usually 10 questions or less.

- Please note that the application review times may vary due to the high number of applicants in the queue.

Every day, more and more people reach out to us seeking effective and compassionate approaches to Mast Cell Activation Syndrome and related conditions.
As our waitlist continues to grow, we’re reminded that we’re a small but mighty team but millions of people around the world are suffering from MCAS.
Our vision has been to reach as many people as we can who are needlessly suffering.
As a small team, though, we’re limited in how many appointments we can take each week. One thing that makes our practice stand out is that we don’t try to cram in 30 clients a day and just spend 15 minutes per person.
You deserve time, care, and attention with your case.
It’s what our co-founder, Beth O’Hara longed for when she was severely ill. And it’s one of the driving factors behind our mission for Mast Cell 360.
But here’s the good news. And it’s something that we’re really proud of.
Over the years, after working with hundreds of clients, we’ve developed a method that serves as a successful foundation for helping those with MCAS, Histamine Intolerance, and Mold Toxicity regain their lives.
What we’re most proud of is that this method, the MC360® Method, is teachable and repeatable.
What does that mean exactly? It means when the right type of practitioner is trained to follow this method, that practitioner will get the same great results we’ve seen now with well over 700 clients.
And it means we can empower other practitioners to help fill the growing need for those with MCAS and other related conditions.
That practitioner has to be just the right practitioner, though. Someone who understands the method is a foundation but also gets that each person is unique. This requires a great deal of skillfulness, knowledge, and empathy.
To be able to meet the growing numbers of those who need help, we’ve carefully selected practitioners who are the best of the best to work with the Mast Cell 360 Clinic. They have the skills, knowledge, and empathy to successfully implement the MC360® Method.
The MC360 Method has helped over 700 clients regain their lives, hopes, and dreams. It’s this method that gets results.
Each of our Mast Cell 360 practitioners have been extensively trained in how to evaluate complex cases of MCAS for individual root factors and how to implement the MC360 Method appropriately for even highly sensitive people.
Our Mast Cell 360 practitioners work as a team, supporting each other and our clients with the MC360 Method we’ve seen work for so many.
Each of the practitioners also brings their own knowledge, proficiency, and expertise to the practice, which further expands our skillset and offerings.
We’ve found people with complex cases of MCAS, Mold Toxicity, and Lyme recover much faster with a team of dedicated, experienced, top-notch practitioners.
As you can imagine, this field is exponentially expanding to meet the complex needs of those with MCAS. This is another reason we’re stronger as a team.
Our vision is that our caring practitioners will contribute their own skillsets to the MC360® Method to continually expand our service offerings and push the field ahead even further.
This diversity of backgrounds means our practitioners can co-consult on even the most challenging cases to serve you even better. You’re getting an excellent support team every step of the way.
As a practitioner team, we meet regularly to review cases and offer support to one another on tough cases. This allows our team to continually learn more and more.
We strongly believe our mission is to help others, just like you, regain health.
But alone, we can only help so many. That’s why it’s important for us to teach the MC360 Method to other practitioners, so we can serve more people who are suffering unnecessarily.
At Mast Cell 360, we are all 100% committed to ensuring you have the highest level of quality care and support we can offer.

LaShay McKeel, LMSW
Mast Cell 360 Emotional Support Coach
LaShay McKeel, LMSW, provides emotional support to individuals managing the stress and neurological effects of MCAS and related conditions. Feel free to call her “L”.
She employs techniques such as embodied connection and rewiring, breathing exercises, guided meditation, education, and more to calm the nervous and limbic systems. She also walks with clients in navigating common challenges associated with MCAS, Mold Toxicity, and the experience of living with invisible illness.
LaShay also offers the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP), a method that uses sound to foster a sense of safety. Many people with MCAS and similar conditions have struggled to feel secure enough to heal, due to trauma and life experiences that have kept their nervous systems in a constant state of alert. SSP utilizes specially filtered sound designed to help calm the nervous system, allowing the body to focus on healing.
Having personally experienced a sensitized nervous system and a range of related impacts, LaShay is also deeply familiar with the effects of MCAS, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, Lyme disease, and similar conditions on individuals’ lives. She has a functional view of adaptations the brain makes, along with its ability to heal when well supported.
LaShay’s education and training include:
- 7+ years of experience in community social work with a focus on asset-based community development and case work providing person-centered service coordination and advocacy for care.
- 3+ years of specialized learning and practice in mind-body medicine, focusing on the nervous system, emotional regulation, and safety.
- 3 years connecting individuals to tailored rehabilitative resources.
- Experience supporting clients with chronic illnesses and health challenges, including safely reprocessing trauma and seeking to address root issues.
- M.S.S.W. in Social Work
- Bachelor’s Degrees in Psychology and Sociology
- Licensed Master of Social Work (LMSW- Associate-level Social Worker)
- Neuro Somatic Yoga & Bodywork provider; Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-200)
- Integrated Somatic Trauma Therapy (ISTT) Coach
LaShay’s work centers on guiding individuals to rediscover or learn for the first time how to exist in a more integrated, regulated state, while empowering them to take an active role in their own healing journeys.
Jamie Frees Miller, MA, INHC
Mast Cell 360 Health Coach
Jamie Frees Miller had the privilege of studying the MC360® Method with Beth starting in 2022 and has been implementing it in her own MCAS journey and mold detox after over a decade of mystery symptoms with autoimmunity since her diagnoses of Celiac and Hashimoto’s in 2011.
Jamie started coaching for Mast Cell 360 with our Strategy Sessions, helping clients new to MCAS and those who are stuck in their healing connect dots and figure out next steps for their individual cases. She also supports clients with Roadmap sessions as well as working in tandem with lead practitioners to support clients between follow-ups.
Before becoming a certified health coach, she earned her Master’s degree in Anthropology and has a passion for research that continues to drive her motivation to continue to learn and support others on their own healing journeys while also connecting back to what makes us human.
Prior to dedicating her time to MCAS, Histamine Intolerance and Mold Toxicity, Jamie’s focus was on preconception health helping parents to be prepare their minds and bodies for their journey of parenthood. With the rise of chronic illness seen in our society’s next generations, she is passionate about helping people in every stage of life get well and improve their quality of life and supporting generational health. She self-published her first book My Awakening: A Pregnancy Guide and Memoir of a First-Time Mom with Autoimmunity.
Kam Uchimura
Health Coach
Kam Uchimura brings both personal and professional experience to the community as a MC360 Health Coach. Her approach to Strategy Sessions is deeply informed by her own experience and study, and professional training with Beth and Mast Cell 360.
Her MCAS journey began with the sudden onset of multiple, severe chronic illnesses affecting most of her family, which quickly escalated to reacting to everything except distilled water, an inability to eat, and discussion of a feeding tube. Doctors could neither explain the conditions nor provide solutions. So, determined to find answers, she began researching. Which ultimately led to Mast Cell 360 and Beth’s teachings—paving the way for those first critical steps in the right direction and a road to significant healing.
This path has not only deepened her understanding of MCAS, Mold Toxicity, multiple food intolerances, dysautonomia, autoimmunity, immune related illnesses, and other chronic conditions but developed compassion for those who are on similar roads searching for answers.
With a Bachelor of Science, and a lifelong interest in deep nutrition and lifestyle habits as the foundation for health, Kam has successfully reversed her own ‘incurable’ health issues in the past, as well.
Each of these journeys have fortified her belief that with the right supports, many seemingly impossible things are often possible.
She is passionate about learning, collaboration, community, and empowerment. Kam’s coaching style combines science-based education with a deep respect for each individual’s unique story.
