My Approach
Philosophy
Functional care for women with autoimmunity
I believe that diet & lifestyle can either move you towards your health goals or further away from them. Most of the women who work with me are busy, professional women who are struggling with chronic illness and autoimmune conditions. They’re able to get results in all other areas of their life but struggle to find the causes of their health issues. We work together to find the root-cause of these issues & address them so they can show up in sharp, energized, and fully present in work and life.
My approach utilizes the foundations of health & functional lab testing to support the entire body, not just one organ or body system. When we use a root-cause approach and look at the body as a whole instead of separate systems, you’re able to see lasting results in your health.
I use a bio-individual approach on nutrition and lifestyle recommendations because everyone is different. Through this approach I’m able to improve energy and sleep, and reduce common issues like brain fog and body aches for clients. Each client’s abilities, resources, and lifestyle is taken into consideration when creating a recommendation so nothing feels out of reach for the client.
Finally, I make sure every client learns the tools and resources they need for their own long term success to create lasting changes.
Your health goals are my main focus and are centered around everything I do and recommend.

FAQs
Answers to Your Questions
What is a functional nutritionist?
Functional nutritionists use a foundational and bio-individual approach to functional, holistic nutrition to balance body chemistry and achieve optimal wellness. We are trained to support the body’s innate ability to heal by addressing the importance of nutrient-dense food & dietary choices, anatomy and physiology, lifestyle choices, and functional lab testing.
How is it different?
Nutritional therapy addresses the root cause of a client’s symptoms, rather than just addressing the symptoms themselves. I work with each client’s unique bio-individual needs to create diet and lifestyle recommendations that fit within the client’s lifestyle and abilities.
What can I expect during a session?
The goal for each session will be different, and this can include a deep-dive into your medical history, prescriptions and supplements, sleep, diet and lifestyle, family history, food and mood journal, symptoms, and health goals. We’ll talk about connections between your symptoms and imbalances in the body or the lab markers. Support during follow-up sessions can include troubleshooting various diet/lifestyle/supplements, mindset support, or protocol changes.
How long will it take me to feel better & see results while working with you?
Since we all have unique, bio-individual needs, it’s impossible to give an exact time frame for your situation. Some people start seeing results within a few weeks, and some will take several months to a year or more. Most clients will need a minimum of three months to see improvements, however your time frame may vary.
