Is this you? You were diagnosed with PCOS and told to “just lose weight and come back when you want to get pregnant” but you have symptoms that you want addressed now... like elevated blood sugar, fatigue, and irregular periods.

My ideal client is someone that has received a medical diagnosis that requires a gluten-free diet, such as Celiac Disease. They may be newly diagnosed, or still struggling with symptoms after already starting the gluten-free diet. They understand that their condition is lifelong and they want to learn how to best support themselves and their health by learning how to incorporate the gluten-free diet into their everyday life. They don't want their diagnosis to run their life, instead they want to continue working towards their life goals and not let their diagnosis stop them from living their best life.

I've seen the strengths and weaknesses of modern medicine firsthand as a Medic and Critical Care Nurse over 23 years. There is no easy way to convey the power I've s seen through Eastern Medicine techniques, many of which are now being brought to the mainstream. Whether it's dietary threapy, herbal medicine, needling, cuppin, they have their roots in Eastern Medicine. The modern takes on these tools often lack the unifying vision for how and when to use them, when not to, when to be gentle and when to be more aggressive. These are the kinds of neiuances only a comprehensively trained practitioner can offer to you.
