I come from a family tradition of holistic healthcare. Growing up, my family taught me to eat well, exercise, be mindful and seek natural healthcare solutions whenever possible.

In my thirties, my quality of life began to deteriorate. I developed food intolerances, experienced bloating and constipation even when I ate “healthy food,” and I became more and more exhausted. My hair started to fall out. I struggled with brain fog. My menstruation was a nightmare—heavy and painful. I tried every diet: gluten free, paleo, keto.

I lived every day with depression and anxiety, because I believed it was my fault that I was sick and miserable. I somehow wasn’t doing something right. I was dismissed by medical doctors and told it was all in my head because I “didn’t look sick.”

But I knew myself, and I knew there was an explanation for why I felt the way I did. I never gave up. In 2020 I had my diagnosis, finally: Hashimoto’s. But autoimmune conditions like Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis doesn’t happen out of nowhere, and my education as a chiropractor taught me that everything in the body is connected. So instead of “living with it,” I set out to learn everything I could about healing my body from the inside out. I had read about women like me achieving remission from hypothyroidism, and I thought, “Why not me?”

After years of research, treatment with functional healthcare providers and enrolling in a health coaching program, I was able to peel back the onion layers of my own root causes to find the unique foods, herbs, supplements, movement and lifestyle choices that allow me to live with energy, clarity and enjoyment.

It took trial and error, work and a total mindset change to get here. It took radical self love.

My life was so transformed by functional, root-cause medicine and health coaching that I decided to enroll in Dr. Aviva Romm’s “Women’s Functional Medicine” course for women healthcare professionals. This was a year-long intensive that deepened my understanding of helping women reclaim their power, reconnect with their bodies and live better lives with less autoimmune symptoms and more vitality.

I don’t promise a quick fix. There is no one-size-fits-all solution. We are all unique. If you’re ready for a partner in health who can help you learn to design the life that helps you thrive, then you’re in the right place.

I’m so glad you’re here.
