My Story

I want to share something personal, because if you are in it right now, you are not alone.

I did not step into functional, root cause work out of curiosity. I did it because I had to. Up until late 2019, I felt strong, grounded, and deeply connected to my body. Then everything changed.

It started with acid reflux and bloating. Then came fatigue, insomnia, panic attacks, ectopic heartbeats, and new food sensitivities. Eventually my symptoms looked a lot like POTS and Mast Cell Activation. One doctor even suspected it. Still, like many of you, I left with "normal" labs and no clear answers.

I did not feel normal. I did not feel safe in my body.

So I stopped waiting. I became my own advocate. I enrolled in graduate studies in clinical nutrition, learned to read functional labs, and dove deep into mitochondrial health, gut repair, detox pathways, and circadian biology. I stopped chasing symptoms and asked a better question: why did my body break down in the first place?

That shift changed everything. Healing became less about forcing and more about supporting. Less about fighting, more about flow. I focused on creating an internal environment where my body could do what it is designed to do: self-regulate, detox, and repair.

It did not happen overnight. There were setbacks. Over time my nervous system softened, my gut began to work again, and the constant anxiety eased. I started to feel like me again.

Now I guide others through the same process, especially the ones who have tried everything and still feel stuck. There is another way. A gentler, smarter, root-based way.

You are not broken. Your body is asking for support. I am here to help you figure out what that looks like, one step at a time.
