My story
I first experienced the power of holistic care as a young child when symptoms my family and I thought were unrelated turned out to be celiac disease. I viscerally experienced how something so simple as the food you put into your body greatly affected everything from our energy to emotional state. This simple, yet profound discovery greatly changed the trajectory of my family’s health and ignited my passion for functional medicine.
Years later, the journey to conceiving my first child unveiled a PMOS (formerly PCOS) diagnosis, where the clues were again subtle enough to have been missed by most health professionals, yet distinctive enough to warrant investigation. This experience deepened my appreciation for the body’s natural cycles and importance of listening to these signals.
