About Me
I grew up in a small city, but was raised to question common standards and practices. I have always been passionate about health, wellness, and fitness!
A close family friend struggled with severe autoimmune disease and traditional medicine failed her. She was tested for food allergies and with avoidance of those inflammatory foods, her inflammation markers plummeted, symptoms resolved, and she was able to go into remission for several years! This made a significant impact on my view of what it means to be healthy.
I originally went to college to become a nurse and ended up questioning why traditional healthcare focuses treatment on symptoms and not the chronic disease root cause.
During school, I became passionate about finding peer reviewed articles discussing root cause cures. I became dismayed that current medical practices in hospitals did not provide prevention, nutrition management, or exercise guidance. This would causes these patients to become “frequent flyers” because of lack of education and accountability. I felt that I was not benefiting these patients in the long run, I was just triaging them until next week.
I decided I wanted to help clients get to the root source of their health problems instead of only managing symptoms. I watched a seminar about Functional Medicine and was excited to find that this type of health management had a name; I was hooked!
Since then, I have poured over research in this field to help clients accomplish their health goals with small lifestyle changes and minimal supplements.
My other interests include: Meditation, Vision Boards, Massage, Lifting Weights, Lifestyle Routines/Habits and Skincare!
