An Integrative Health & Holistic Nutrition Practice with a data-driven approach toward healing.
Offering a holistic approach for those seeking to uncover the triggers of their symptoms and take actionable steps toward better health. Let's reject the normalization of chronic illness and work together to address underlying root cause imbalances.
Because feeling good should be the norm,
not the exception.
Approach
My practice is founded upon 8 integrative principals, with Functional Medicine at its core and is rooted in the understanding that each of us is a unique bioindividual, with distinct predispositions. Many of us experience similar root cause imbalances that manifest in different symptoms, influenced by our genetic makeup.
Using clinical symptoms and functional medicine lab testing, I create personalized health plans with protocols tailored to your distinct bio-individuality.
These plans address deficiencies in essential nutrients like vitamins and minerals, tackle toxicities such as mold, heavy metals, SIBO/yeast overgrowth, and environmental pollutants, and integrate foundational elements like exercise, stress management, rest, emotional well-being, and mindset.
My areas of expertise include, but are not limited to:
Anxiety
Acne/Rashes
Brain Fog/Headaches
Digestive Issues (Bloating, Constipation, GERD, etc.)
Fatigue
Hormonal Imbalances (Weight Gain, Hair Thinning, Infertility, etc.)
Sleep Disorders
Unexplained Weight Gain or Loss
8 Integrative Principles
Certified Integrative Health Practitioner (IHP, L2) & Holistic Nutritionist (AFPA)
My health journey has been a complex and challenging path, from confronting unexplained episodes of hearing loss, tinnitus, and insomnia, enduring the long-lasting effects of concussion symptoms, to grappling with the neurological and physical challenges of Lyme disease. I intimately understand how challenging it can be navigating a healthcare system where specialists solely focus on isolated symptoms, often overlooking the bigger picture.
Over a decade of dedicated study and personal experience has taught me that health goes beyond symptom management. It involves considering the body as a whole and recognizing the interconnections between symptoms to restore its delicate balance. Now, as an advocate for holistic health and wellness, I'm passionate about sharing lessons learned from personal experience and supporting others on their journey toward healing. If you're ready to embark on your own path to health, I'm here to guide and support you every step of the way.
Client Testimonials

When the body is overloaded with toxins and depleted of essential vitamins and nutrients, this can manifest as symptoms (and disease).
Functional medicine lab testing focuses on identifying imbalances within the body before they manifest into diseases, ensuring proactive measures to support the body's detoxification processes.
Functional lab testing and interpretation are key for a personalized, holistic approach to health. These tests, which can be conveniently done at home, help identify root causes of health issues.
By recognizing each person’s unique microbiome and genetic predispositions, we can:
Detect issues early
Make informed decisions
Create customized treatment plans
By incorporating effective supplementation, integrating daily detox routines, and opting for clean products, we can bolster our body's ability to combat the everyday onslaught of toxins.
Did you know...
In America we’ve had an 85% mineral depletion over the past 100 years due to farming practices, pesticides, herbicides, and water pollution (US Dpt. of Agriculture).
According to Dietary Reference Intakes by the NIH, 92% of the population is vitamin or mineral deficient.
We are exposed to hundreds of toxins over the course of a day (CDC). These toxins are present in the water we drink, the food we eat, the air we breath, and the products we use.
Each day, we use an average of 9 personal care products that contain 126 different chemicals (EWG). Many of these products are applied directly to the skin, where ingredients can be absorbed directly into the bloodstream.
While this information may seem overwhelming, there's no need to be scared - knowledge is power!
