My autoimmune diseases began decades ago when I was a teenager.  After four surgeries, one pregnancy a cancer scare, the removal of an ovary and my appendix simultaneously caused me to throw in the towel on traditional medicine and go my own way.  And my way consisted of a more holistic and natural approach that included acupuncture, massage, herbal and supplement therapies, dietary changes coupled with a variety of stress management techniques that I change up to this day.  I’m so grateful these options were available to me to aid in my healing.

​Over the years, through lots of trial and error to becoming a healthier version of myself,  I made a choice to take all this to a new level and I registered for an extensive year long program through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition.  As a graduate of the program, I have been a practicing Health Coach since 2012 and have gone on to become a Certified Autoimmune Coach as well as certified by the Medical Board of Examiners as a National Board Health and Wellness Coach.  It is my deepest desire to help those around me navigate their wellness goals, just as I did, through personalized lifestyle changes,  My formal education and life experiences, combined with years of studying the most well respected functional medicine practitioners combined with cutting edge coaching tools, have made me who I am today.
