AREAS OF FOCUS

  • Hormonal Health

    Hormonal symptoms—fatigue, mood swings, difficult periods—shouldn’t be your normal.

    Through hormone testing, in-depth analysis, tailored protocols, we’ll effectively manage your hormonal conditions so you can reclaim your energy and wellbeing.

  • PMS/PMDD

    PMS symptoms feel overwhelming & are often left unaddressed. I’ll take the time to understand your symptoms, assess the impacts on your day-to-day life & relationships. Then, we’ll work together on nutrition, supplementation, & lifestyle modifications so you can show up as yourself every day of the month.

  • Endometriosis

    Endometriosis often goes undiagnosed for an average of 7 years. My goal is to support early detection & reduce diagnostic delay, so proper treatment can be started. Through a personalized treatment plan, I’ll help you understand your diagnosis, & provide strategies to manage both acute and chronic pain effectively.

  • PCOS

    My approach to PCOS management integrates lifestyle medication with targeted intervention for insulin resistance, optimizing hormones & metabolic health. We’ll run lab tests to diagnose and monitor treatment progression, and provide on-going support for comorbidities PCOS increases the risk of.

  • Digestive Health

    Digestive issues often cause distress, taking away from your day-to-day comfort. Improving digestion improves nutrient absorption, immune system function, mental health, and reduces inflammation.

    I focus on accurate diagnosis, create practical dietary & lifestyle plans, and provide guidance on specific nutraceuticals or herbs with adequate dosing for you.

  • Irritable Bowel Syndrome

    I help patients navigate their diagnosis, reduce food anxiety, and provide tools to manage discomfort. Through personalized support in managing motility, we work towards building confidence in your food choices to enjoy a more relaxed approach to eating.

  • Heartburn & Reflux

    A thorough assessment of reflux conditions is vital for proper symptom management and tissue recovery. Support is offered through evidence based therapies & lifestyle modifications, while also providing guidance on appropriate use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs).

  • Inflammatory Bowel Disease

    Through evidence based nutrition therapy and education, I help prevent nutritional deficiencies and recommend appropriate supplementation that complements conventional treatment. My approach focuses on developing strategies that maintain periods of remissions.

  • The first appointment lays the foundation for a therapeutic partnership. It’s where I begin to understand not just your symptoms, but your whole health story & the context in which your concerns developed—diet, exercise, stress, etc.

    Functional testing and lab work are ordered if needed, and certain treatment options are considered.

  • We’ll create a plan based on assessment, testing results, & your own preferences.

    Together we will develop practical and evidence based short & long-term strategies—from tailored nutraceutical recommendations, to diet + lifestyle, or acupuncture protocols. We’ll implement monitoring methods to track progress and make changes as needed.

  • Healing takes time, and we will focus on root-cause solutions rather than quick fixes. On-going care helps us stay on track, adjust treatment as the body changes, provide education to develop long-lasting healthy habits, and is an opportunity for early intervention should other potential health issues arise.
