WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE TO WORK WITH ME

Whether you feel pretty good and want to "optimize" your vitamin, mineral, hormones levels, fitness, health, etc... or you feel stuck, I'd love to help you!

I focus on working with women (usually busy, stressed out moms) who either feel like they never "fully recovered" after having kids...OR, they're 35 plus (like me) and approaching hormonal changes, and are frustrated that all the things that worked in their 20's or early 30's are suddenly not working anymore.

My heart is there because I've been there, too. I dealt with many health issues growing up, but despite being a long time trainer and nutritionist in my adult life, living, eating and breathing health & fitness...after my second pregnancy, my body completely tanked. A 2020 stress-induced autoimmune flare caused my thyroid to "die," my digestion (and body) to basically STOP working, and many hormone and health issues to come about as a result. I spent YEARS (and A LOT of money) bouncing between doctors and specialists being told my bloodwork & labs were "normal."

Meanwhile, I was in so much pain no matter what I ate with a stomach that ballooned up to where I looked 5 months pregnant every evening, and I had joint pain, brain fog, fatigue, ringing ears, depression, anxiety, heart palpitations, headaches, eczema outbreaks, dizzy spells and more every day. I felt hopeless and cried multiple nights thinking about getting up and having to do it all over again the next day all while running a fitness business and watching 2 young, very active kids.

In a desperate attempt to heal and by the grace of God, I dove even deeper into nutrition, holistic health, functional labs & bloodwork, and integrative health. I completed several intensive programs and learned a lot along the way. Years later, with the help of these programs and working alongside an Integrative doctor, and again by the grace of God, I have come such a long way in restoring my health. I will never take my health for granted and am thankful that God led me down this path, so that I can help others.

I'm continually learning even more about peri-menopause and menopause, hormones, and fat loss (including coaching clients on GLP-1s, peptides and more) as well as the changes that come with it as I approach my 40's (along with many of my friends and clients).

I say all of this to let you know that healing is not a linear process, and I am a constant work in progress. I understand the frustration in finding answers & being dismissed. I also understand the frustration in working with functional or integrative practitioners that only have so much time to help you...and outside of supplements, you're left trying to figure out everything else by yourself. I see and hear you and will never dismiss your concerns.

I put TONS of thought, hard work, research and care into each and every protocol & program I create for my clients, and having experienced so many health struggles myself, I believe I'm equipped with many tools & resources to help.

When working with me as a 1:1 Client, I use an extensive intake questionnaire & program to provide a Wellness Report that explains systems in the body that potentially need support. I combine this with the option to use a variety of functional labs to evaluate different health markers via bloodwork & urine, gut health testing, hormone testing and more. My protocols include not just supplements but nutrition, exercise and lifestyle changes that are an even bigger piece of the puzzle.

I highly recommend doing labs and starting with a functional wellness panel (with over 85 health markers) collected via blood and urine samples to get insight into metabolism, inflammation, gut health, vitamin & mineral levels and where your body may need more support. I do not mark up labs and provide opportunities to purchase them at whole sale costs.

After collecting this data, we go over an integrative approach to restoring balance in the body via nutrition, exercise, supplement and lifestyle plans that are tailored to your results & individual needs. Clients will also have access to a tracking app to help them stick with their protocol as well as the option to book follow up's.

My goal is for every client to feel seen, heard and fully supported in reaching their goals. Below, you will find more on the different options I offer. It would be my honor to be a part of your health journey.
