You don’t feel like yourself anymore. Even though your labs are “normal.” You’re exhausted, foggy, bloated, sleeping poorly, or navigating perimenopause and hormone shifts that don’t make sense.
I work with midlife women who feel off in their bodies and want real clarity about what’s driving persistent fatigue, brain fog, digestive changes, and blood sugar instability. We take a foundations-first approach, focusing on digestion, metabolism, sleep, and hormone patterns before adding complexity.
Together, we build a structured, personalized plan that fits real life so you can feel steady, clear, and like yourself again.

I understand that life’s challenges are complex and unique to each individual. Busy schedules, limited nutrition resources, and complicated relationships with food are just some of the many factors that contribute to failed diet and lifestyle changes. I’m here to help you establish a healthy relationship with food and guide you through the connection between mind, body, and spirit to accomplish your goals. I firmly believe that wellness is a dynamic process of change and growth, “a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease“.

I treat patients with a wide variety of problems. I help people with all types of pain including back, neck, shoulder, hip, knee, arthritis/ joint and headaches, to name some.
