My Story
​
​
I'm endlessly passionate about health and nutrition and even more passionate about helping YOU find a style of eating that suits your body and your lifestyle. There is no one-size-fits all approach when it comes to functional nutrition because everyone's body responds differently to various foods.
How do I know this? After years of practicing as a conventional dietitian, personal trainer, and health coach I developed life-altering chronic fatigue. I went from being very athletic my whole life to barely being able to walk around the block. After finding no answers from my conventional practitioners I had to quit my job and move back in with my parents. I realized I needed to rely on myself to figure out how to restore my health.
How did I climb out of the "health hole" I was in? I began devouring all things functional medicine and obtained a certification as a functional medicine nutritionist and received a master's degree in nutrition and functional medicine. I used my education about nutrition and lifestyle through the functional medicine lens to help heal my body.
Now, I'm on a mission to help you do the same.
