Hi! I'm so glad you're here!I learned about Functional Medicine in 2015 when I started to have panic attacks, IBS, skin issues, and irregular periods in my mid-20s, and was told it was 'in my head' by a well-respected doctor. Despite that perspective, I knew that something was out of balance in my body, which led me on a quest to figure it out. I was eventually diagnosed with a common thyroid autoimmune disease, Hashimoto's, and was told to take a hormone replacement pill and hope for the best. I was not satisfied with that guidance because of the way that I felt, and became determined to resolve my symptoms so that I could once again live a full and vibrant life.I was lucky to learn about Functional Medicine and have been on a journey to regain my health since then. After changing my lifestyle, diet, job, workout routine, and more, I am on the path to full remission of the disease. I feel the best I ever have!After I healed myself, I wanted to help others feel better using a functional approach. I am now aBoard Certified Health and Wellness coachtrained by theFunctional Medicine Coaching Academy, part ofThe Institute for Functional Medicine. I believe optimal health and wellness is best achieved by taking a whole-body, systems-based approach while also using conventional medicine as needed. We are so lucky to live in a time that gives us access to both ancient and modern solutions to acute and chronic health issues!I am excited to work with people seeking better health and wellness through a root cause approach. Instead of focusing on the symptoms, we'll focus on why they are happening and steps to fix the problem at the root. My role is to guide each person in supporting their body at what it is best and designed to do - heal. ✨My dream is for all people to know that there are easy ways to live a healthy lifestyle so that their precious time on earth can be spent having fun, feeling joy, and spreading love.My mission is to help people who feel sick, unheard, and stuck transform their lives, with small steps over time, to feel optimal health, wellness, and joy.If you want to follow me, subscribe to my newsletterhere.
