I am a former Perioperative Nurse and Functional Nutrition Counselor, passionate about helping those with chronic health issues to understand their bodies and how to heal them! 

For many years, I worked as a nurse in the operating room at a large teaching hospital. I find the human body and all of its systems and organs fascinating! I have always had a love for food and good nutrition.

After years of struggling with chronic health issues, I had many unanswered questions about what was happening with my body and what I could do to restore my health. I was frustrated with not being seen as an individual with unique symptoms and health struggles. Taking the medications prescribed to me would only mask the problems. 

While searching for answers, I learned about Functional Medicine and Functional Nutrition, which sees you as whole and complex. I started to learn about environmental, physiological and psychological stressors which were contributing to the symptoms that I was experiencing. I also learned about the power of food and how important it is to feed my body nourishing foods to heal. 

My biggest lesson is that what is healthy and good for some doesn’t mean it works for me. Bio-individuality is missing from our healthcare system. I am excited to work with each of my clients in a way that recognizes them as individuals with unique health struggles.
