Nothing makes me more excited to wake up everyday than educating people on how they can heal themselves. As a 4th-generation medical professional, I am dedicated to nurturing your health and well-being through a holistic approach. My focus is not just on treating symptoms, but on understanding and addressing the root causes of your health concerns. I integrate the best of conventional medicine with evidence-based complementary therapies, such as nutrition, lifestyle changes, and stress management, to create personalized care plans. By empowering you with knowledge and tools, I aim to support your journey towards optimal health and wellness, helping you to feel your best in body, mind, and spirit. Together, we will work as a team to build a healthier, happier you.

My Holistic
Approach to Care

As an integrative and functional medicine practitioner, my holistic care approach emphasizes personalized, patient-centered care that addresses the entire individual—mind, body, and spirit. I blend conventional medical practices with alternative therapies, focusing on nutrition, lifestyle modifications, stress management, and exercise to not only treat illness but to promote overall wellness. My practice is grounded in identifying and treating the root causes of diseases.

I accomplish this through a comprehensive health assessment, utilizing a combination of advanced diagnostics and evidence-based treatments. I advocate for a collaborative team approach, ensuring continuous support and follow-up, and empowering patients to take an active role in their health journey, with the ultimate goal of achieving sustainable health improvements and optimal well-being.

My Story

As a food allergy mom and advocate for almost two decades, I was challenged to find ways to feed my children and keep them safe. So for over 15 years, I have prepared ALL meals and snacks for my children with life-threatening food allergies and sensitivities. Eliminating all processed foods and learning to read ingredients on labels and obtain knowledge of all products (including personal care and cleaning products) to keep them safe made me realize how much we are exposed to many toxins - through ingestion, inhalation, injections, and topically - every single day of our lives.

I have chosen to adopt primarily organic whole foods and establish a less toxic home environment and have seen improvements in the health of my children and myself.

So while genetics may play an important role in a person’s health, it is not their destiny. Every person can be proactive with the right tools to get to the root cause of their health issues in order to stay well and thrive!

I studied at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and Functional Nurse Academy and became Board-Certified as a Functional Health Coach and Board-Certified as a Functional Medicine Practitioner. I also received my certification as a Dietary Supplement Specialist through Designs for Health. Furthermore, I have completed all courses at the Institute for Functional Medicine and Functional Medicine for Nurses, and continued my education and training at Functional Medicine University, The Gut Institute, 3x4 Genetics, Functional Medicine Academy, Functional Diagnostic Nutrition, Trauma Research Foundation, and Trauma Healing Accelerated. Most recently, I completed my certification as a Foundational Medicine Specialist so that I may refine my ability to analyze blood chemistry lab results in order to optimize the health of my patients.

My mission is to help individuals who are ready to partner with me for guidance on their journey to healing themselves.

I want to help you optimize your whole body, mind, and spirit so you can feel your best from the inside out!
