MY STORY

In 2009, my 13-year-old daughter experienced a health crisis. She woke up with a chronic condition that doctors couldn’t figure out. After months of searching, conventional medicine concluded nothing was wrong with her, according to the test results. She was prescribed loads of drugs to help with pain and symptoms, and then we were released and told she would eventually outgrow it. I kept asking if food or allergies could be the culprit, and I was told no. 

 

But we needed better answers, so I went into mama bear mode. I started studying the body and learning about nutrition and nutrients; you can imagine the process, the passion, and the pain!

 

Today, my daughter is a healthy mom herself, but her unfortunate situation catapulted me into where I am today.

I’ve poured my heart and soul into helping women like you resolve stubborn weight issues, gut health concerns, and hormone problems.

Recently, I’ve mastered menopause. The struggles of menopausal women are very real, and conventional diets and traditional practices will likely keep you stuck. I personally struggled and won using a cutting-edge approach. I reignited my life by fueling my body with quality food, practicing intermittent fasting, taking nutritional supplements, peptides, and hormones, and making lifestyle modifications—and I’m confident I can help you navigate your way back to YOU too. Feeling good in your body is vital!​

HOW I WORK WITH MY CLIENTS

Being a board-certified functional diagnostic nutritionist (FDN) means I follow the principles of functional medicine—seeking to achieve root cause resolution, meaning WHY you have symptoms, not simply THAT you have them. I do this by forging a therapeutic partnership with you, evaluating core body systems using functional lab work to identify hidden stressors.

 

These hidden stressors are seen as "healing opportunities" that point you in the direction of better health. By helping you fill in the gaps that keep you stuck, understanding what your healthy diet looks like to get your body into balance, we strive to build a strong foundation upon which you can thrive. With a solid plan and roadmap, you can return to loving your body!​​

THE STEPS

I thoughtfully assess, in partnership with you, your situation.

We do this via a Jumpstart Session, detailed questionnaire, and sometimes bloodwork (though blood tests are not a requirement, they often help to guide the most beneficial plan for you).

​I offer a new framework to negate diet delusions so you can feel safe with your choices.

We have been bombarded with conflicting—and often misleading—information about diet for decades. I help to simplify what your body needs so that you can feed it with confidence. 

2.

We make lifestyle modifications to layer into your daily practice.

This is not a diet handout—it's what I call your recipe for success! You are unique and deserve a custom plan that ticks all the boxes for your complex system.

4.

We track your progress.

Healing an ailing or overweight body is not a quick fix; it takes time and isn't a straight shot. This is why your commitment to your program is critical and is never a one-and-done process. Together, we continue to assess your progress to get you to your goal of optimum health.

​Our bodies are unique, and healing CAN and DOES happen.

Let's partner together: You deserve results. ​
