When it comes to enhancing one’s health, I firmly believe that there are four underlying areas that require the most focus:
The microbiome - not just in your gut, but on your skin and the environment around you;
Your hormone levels - from cortisol, insulin, sex hormones estrogen, progesterone and testosterone, and more;
Your lifestyle - your rituals/practices, relationships, and overall energies you choose to surround yourself with/in; and
Your nutrition/supplementation - the nutrients and chemical messengers that enter your body.
Nutrition and supplementation is used to upregulate your system’s capacities, in what is known as the field of Nutrigenomics (or Nutrigenetics). And when it comes to the microbiome (your environment) and your lifestyle, those two come into play when looking at the study of Epigenetics.
My job is to help you:
Optimize your nutritive inputs to engage your Nutrigenomic potential, and
Align your lifestyle to be more conducive to your personal standards of wellness.
This will, in effect, balance your microbiome and hormones, resulting in an Epigenetic shift that not only heals your body, but allows it to thrive.
*Please note: I cannot guarantee you will be 100% healed after you’ve finished a package. Your healing journey can take months to years, dependent on how disciplined you are with your protocol and how long your journey into illness has taken. It WILL take more than a couple months to undo years of poor diet and lifestyle habits, and even then - your path to wellness may look nothing like how you “used to be”. However, I CAN guarantee you WILL feel better. And that after you’ve completed a package, you will emerge more knowledgeable about your own body and the foods and practices it prefers, as well as be better equipped to handle any missteps along the way, bringing you infinitely closer to a stronger, wiser, and healthier version of yourself.
The Process
Step 1 - Free Discovery Session
A meeting (over the phone, video, or in person) to introduce ourselves, go over your key concerns, and see if my services are a good fit for you.
Step 2 - Initial Intake Session
Every new client must go through an initial intake session. This will be our longest session (generally 1-2 hours), where we go over your:
personal health history;
current concerns, diet, supplementation, medications, and any influencing practices (exercise, meditation, hobbies/activities, etc); and
your future goals/preferences.
It is here where I do a rough assessment and determine which of my packages would be most beneficial for you to start with.
Step 3 - Begin Package as per Assessment
Digestive Healing (details below)

*I strongly recommend functional lab testing to reveal underlying imbalances and their possible causes. Utilizing the results of these tests to create a more precise and targeted plan will enable us to fast-track your results.

My Preferred Modalities
Functional Lab Testing
Utilizing hormone, blood, and gut health tests to reveal underlying imbalances and their possible causes. The results of these tests will help create a more precise and targeted plan for you to follow, in effect enabling us to fast-track your results.
Nutrition
You are what you eat. And when you ingest properly grown and pasture-raised food, it contains high concentrations of nutrients on the macro, micro, and phytonutrient scale that nourishes the body from the inside out. Food truly is medicine.
Herbs and Supplements
From nervines and adaptogens to anti-microbials and anti-inflammatories, I can help you incorporate the right herbs, tinctures, and other supplements into your daily routine that will give your healing journey a great boost.
Lifestyle Counseling
Your current habits and daily actions may be hindering any progress towards your goals. Making small refinements to things you already love to do, while adding in some new practices, will help keep those small wins continuous and achievable.
