If you’ve ever felt lost, dismissed, or told “everything looks normal” while you continue to feel anything but normal — you’re exactly who I work with.
In our sessions, we move far beyond surface-level nutrition advice. I take a functional, root-cause approach, looking at how your gut, immune system, hormones, stress response, and metabolism are all communicating — and where that communication has broken down. Symptoms don’t appear randomly. They are signals. And when we listen to them closely, they lead us to answers.
My passion for this work is deeply personal. Living with autoimmune illness myself changed everything about how I practice. I know what it’s like to do “all the right things” and still feel exhausted, inflamed, foggy, reactive to foods, or stuck in a body that doesn’t feel like your own. That experience is why I am so committed to helping others uncover why their body is struggling — especially when gut imbalances and food sensitivities are at the center of it all.
When we restore gut health, the ripple effects can be profound. I routinely see improvements in joint pain, brain fog, IBS, bloating, anxiety, depression, stubborn weight gain, and autoimmune flares — not because we chased symptoms, but because we addressed what was driving inflammation from the inside out.
I utilize advanced functional testing, including GI-MAP stool testing, OAT testing and MRT food sensitivity testing, to gain a clear, individualized picture of your microbiome, immune response, and metabolic health. This data allows us to create a plan that is specific to your body — not a generic protocol or one-size-fits-all diet.
With a Master’s degree in Nutrition from Case Western Reserve University and over 17 years of experience in both clinical and functional nutrition, I specialize in gut health, autoimmune conditions, and thyroid dysfunction. My work is rooted in prevention and early intervention, because I believe the best time to address imbalances is long before they become chronic, overwhelming diagnoses.
Through my virtual practice, Gut Health Fixer Upper, I’ve had the privilege of helping clients rebalance their gut, reduce inflammation, lose weight sustainably, restore metabolic health, and even reverse diabetes — not through restriction or quick fixes, but by supporting the body the way it was designed to heal.
Outside of my work, I’m a mom living in northern Ohio, soaking up time with my family — golfing, biking, walking our chocolate labs, and RV camping to reset and reconnect. Being a mother has only deepened my commitment to preventative health. I want my boys to grow up feeling strong, confident, and equipped with the knowledge to care for their bodies for life.
My motto is simple: thrive, not just survive.
True healing isn’t fast — and it isn’t forced. It’s built through understanding, consistency, and respect for the body. I will walk alongside you, connect the dots others have missed, and stay with you until you truly feel like yourself again.
You deserve more than symptom management.\
You deserve answers.
I built the practice I wish had existed during my own years of autoimmune struggle. Traditional medicine left me feeling unheard, until a functional, root-cause approach helped me heal from the inside out. I never want anyone to feel that lost. We work together —with honesty, support, and accountability. Between sessions, you’ll use an app to share meal photos, symptoms, and message me anytime. We meet every few weeks to troubleshoot and keep moving forward—until you truly feel your best.
