As a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner® I specialize in working with those who have Complex Chronic Illness including: Viral Long Haul, Lyme Disease, CIRS/Mold Biotoxin Illness, MCAS (mast cell activation syndrome), Autism Spectrum Disorders, food sensitivities, autoimmune illnesses, hormonal imbalances, gut microbiome imbalances. I also work with people who are experiencing weight loss resistance, or an inability to lose weight despite sticking to a strict diet and a strenuous, exercise routine.
I strongly believe that every individual has a unique biochemistry and do not subscribe to a one-size fits all diet or wellness protocol. Instead, I use special functional nutrition lab tests to investigate and identify hidden malfunctions and imbalances that are at the root cause of your chronic health symptoms.
I've been trained in over 100 different dietary theories and am an expert in many specialty, Anti-Inflammatory Diets including: Paleo, Autoimmune Protocol (AIP), Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD), Low-FODMAP, Low Oxalate, Keto Diet, Anti-Candida Diet, and the Low-Histamine Diet.
Education and support are the cornerstones of my functional nutrition approach; I believe in empowering you with the information you need to make healthy choices, heal yourself naturally, and lead a balanced and fulfilling life!
My clients will tell you I'm as invested in your health and wellness as you are and will be here to support you every step of the way. But don't take my word for it, check out what my clients are saying about working with me: Testimonials Page.

My Background:
My passion for helping others heal naturally comes from privately battling decades of my own health problems including: hormone and metabolic issues, chronic pain, debilitating fatigue, anxiety, depression, severe food sensitivities, parasites, SIBO, and leaky gut. After being treated for several different autoimmune conditions with immune suppressants I just kept getting worse. My debilitating symptoms got so bad in 2011 I couldn't work, drive, read, or doing anything outside of my house.
When western medicine doctors wanted to continue to throw more pharmaceutical medications at me to "ease my symptoms", I became passionate about investigating the real root causes of my symptoms and using a functional medicine approach to heal. My dedicated research, training, and health detective work finally paid off in 2013 when I was correctly diagnosed with Chronic Late Stage Lyme Disease, mold toxicity/CIRS, and MCAS (mast cell activation syndrome).
My focus on stabilizing my mast cells and reducing my sensitivities allowed me to treat my infections, support deeper detoxification, and balance my gut and digestive system. Functional medicine, energetic and emotional health practices, and an anti-inflammatory eating and lifestyle plan are essential in my own ongoing recovery. I "practice what I preach" each and every day, always putting self-care first! Now I want to help you do the same and live your life to your fullest potential!
