Background

My 25 years of dietetics, functional medicine, physical performance, and bodywork experience are blended with the ancient roots of yoga, Ayurveda medicine, Polyvagal theory, and Somatic Therapy. I help you re-ignite your inner healer by supporting you in being a better digester on all levels of your life - physical, mental, and emotional. To live a more mindful existence, we learn how to fuel our agni (digestive fire). I provide people with the tools they need to be successful in life. This power must be gained, activated, and evolved, which requires time, effort, and practice.

What to expect in your first session:

I want to get to know you and learn what is important to you in maintaining or improving your health. I will review your medical and family history, current lifestyle, concerns or conditions, and background. From here, we will discuss what it will look like to work together, how sessions will be conducted, agreements to support your health, and a plan to reach your goals. I will help guide you towards help, but you will facilitate the changes. I will hold you accountable to your potential, though the actionable implementation will be driven by you.  A non-macro or micro nutrient view ONLY. There is no focus on calories **Only accepting healed ED patients or in conjunction with a therapist.
