Health Professionals in Charlotte, NC

I live and practice by the belief that all foods have a place in a healthy and balanced diet, and that no one food is “bad”. In a society where we are constantly searching for the next trending diet plan or magic pill, I am committed to countering the noise with evidence-based information and a mind-body approach to nutrition and overall wellbeing. I am passionate about helping my clients make realistic and sustainable lifestyle changes that they feel good about – physically, mentally and emotionally.

Are you looking to manage your weight or a health condition such as diabetes, heart disease, a GI disorder, or an autoimmune disease/inflammatory condition? Trying to determine how to nourish yourself while pregnant or navigating a women's health concern such as PCOS or menopause? Or perhaps looking for some guidance in a world filled with conflicting nutrition information?

If you haven’t been successful in resolving your internal condition with conventional or alternative medicine and searching for a more advanced treatment, this is the right place. I specialize in advanced “natural” alternative treatment for internal chronic conditions, such as autoimmune disorders, inflammations, allergies, immune issues, hormonal balance, digestive, respiratory, and gynecological conditions. My advanced Japanese style acupuncture not only alleviates symptoms, but also strengthens vital organs, builds immune system, and restores balance. Each treatment is profound, activating the body to heal within.

If you are struggling to develop a peaceful relationship with food, know that you are not alone. Confusing messages telling us how to eat, what to eat, and when to eat can make us wonder why eating has gotten so complicated. The short answer: it doesn't have to be.

I regularly integrate nutrition science with body-based (somatic) practices and therapeutic coaching to help my clients learn to nourish themselves from the bottom up, with confidence.

At least 80% of people who seek long-term weight loss will regain that weight. And so begins the cycle that many find themselves in - up and down, up and down. If you feel the frustration of that rollercoaster and are ready to discover your 'why' and begin the path to sustainable weight loss, then I am ready to partner with you in achieving your goals.

I enjoy treating people who want to take an active role in their health. I work with the body's innate ability to heal by promoting balance and removing health obstacles. I work hard to understand you as an idividual, and not as a list of symptoms. I do my best to educate and communicate about your treatment, so that you feel comfortable every step of the way. I encourage you to schedule a free consultation to get to know each other and get all of your questions answered before we begin our partnership in your health care.

Are you struggling with bloating & gut symptoms with NO answers as to WHY? Are you lacking confidence (especially in social settings) due to your bloat & gut symptoms? Do you have symptoms that you think are related to your poor gut health (i.e. acne, hormonal imbalances, brain fog, etc.)? As a young, busy woman, it can feel exhausting when you're trying to figure everything out on your own, with little direction and clarity. I can imagine that your hormonal imbalances & frustrating gut issues are making you feel fatigued with low mood, unable to think clearly, feel overwhelmed, and lack confidence in your skin.
