About

Why work..with me! I don’t treat diagnoses. I support individuals. My approach is rooted in the belief that you are more than your symptoms or your diagnosis. Using cutting-edge laboratory studies, I look beyond surface-level results to uncover the underlying imbalances unique to your body. These advanced, functional tests allow us to develop a plan that’s based on your individual biology, not a generic prescription or one-size-fits-all solution. I’ve also integrated herbal medicine into my practice, supporting the body’s natural healing processes while addressing the mind and spirit. This combination of science-backed insight and natural healing creates a truly holistic experience. What You Can Expect: Expertise and Experience: With over 15 years in healthcare, I bring a depth of clinical knowledge in chronic disease management and women’s health, grounded in both conventional and functional medicine. Holistic Care: I merge traditional nursing care with natural therapies to address the root causes of your health concerns, not just manage symptoms. Personalized Support: My programs are customized to your goals, whether you're facing burnout, hormonal shifts, or complex chronic conditions. We meet you where you are and build from there. Compassionate Partnership: I’ve walked alongside countless individuals through their healing journeys. I offer not just guidance, but empathy, trust, and unwavering support. Sustainable, Long-Term Results: My goal is to empower you with the tools, knowledge, and confidence to maintain your health long after our work together is complete. Let’s create a plan that honors your individuality and helps you thrive, body, mind, and spirit. Ready to begin your healing journey? Who We Serve At the core of our practice is a holistic, nurse-led approach to chronic disease management. We support individuals seeking long-term wellness solutions that address not just symptoms, but the root causes of imbalance. As a Registered Nurse Health Coach working one-on-one with clients, we design personalized care plans grounded in clinical expertise, functional health principles, and integrative support options. We commonly work with clients managing: Hypertension (High Blood Pressure) We help clients take control of their cardiovascular health through targeted lifestyle changes, stress reduction, nutritional guidance, and lab-based monitoring. By identifying underlying contributors, such as inflammation or metabolic dysfunction, we offer a more complete path to stable blood pressure and heart health. Non-Healing Wounds Chronic non-healing wounds, whether infected or not, often arise from conditions like diabetes, poor circulation, or venous insufficiency. Our approach begins with comprehensive lab testing to identify underlying factors such as nutrient deficiencies, poor circulation, and inflammation that may impede healing. Based on these results, we create personalized care plans that may include cutting-edge peptide therapy, which helps stimulate tissue regeneration and accelerate healing. We incorporate nutritional support and herbal remedies to enhance tissue repair. Additionally, we guide clients in lifestyle modifications, such as managing blood sugar levels and smoking cessation, to optimize healing outcomes. By combining lab-based insights with the latest therapies, we work to promote faster recovery and improve long-term wound healing. Chronic Pain We take a holistic approach to managing chronic pain, recognizing that each person's experience is unique. By assessing underlying factors like inflammation, hormonal imbalances, and nutrient deficiencies through lab testing, we create personalized plans that include lifestyle modifications, stress management techniques, and gentle movement to reduce pain and improve quality of life. We also incorporate mind-body strategies like mindfulness and cognitive behavioral techniques to help manage pain perception. Herbal support (e.g., turmeric, ginger) and peptides may be introduced to reduce inflammation and promote healing. Working closely with the client’s medical team, we continuously adjust the plan to ensure safe, effective relief and support long-term pain management. Diabetes (Pre-diabetes and Type 2) Beyond glucose monitoring and medication support, we use lab testing to assess insulin resistance, inflammation markers, and nutrient deficiencies. With this information, we create a personalized plan that includes dietary strategies, physical activity, and potential peptide therapies that support metabolic balance and insulin sensitivity. Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) We support clients with Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) through an integrative approach that blends medical education, lifestyle optimization, and holistic therapies. By using functional lab testing to assess kidney function, electrolyte balance, and inflammation, we tailor care plans that address the root causes of symptoms like fluid retention and fatigue. When appropriate, we incorporate peptide therapy to support cardiac repair and energy metabolism, along with carefully selected herbs, to promote heart health and fluid balance. All recommendations are personalized and coordinated with your existing medical care for safe, effective support. Eating Disorders & Disordered Eating Our approach to eating disorders is trauma-informed, deeply supportive, and rooted in the mind-body connection. We assess nutrient levels, hormonal balance, and gut health through lab testing, and collaborate with other members of the care team to restore a healthy relationship with food and self. Functional supports, including supplements or peptides, may be recommended to support recovery. Autoimmune Disorders Whether you’re managing lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, or another autoimmune condition, we look at the bigger picture: gut health, inflammation, hormonal imbalances, and immune triggers. Lab testing helps guide a customized care strategy and select peptide therapies may be introduced to modulate immune response and promote tissue repair. A Functional & Forward-Thinking Approach We combine traditional nursing care with advanced tools, such as functional lab testing, in-depth lifestyle assessment, and evidence-informed peptide therapy, to create care plans that are personalized, practical, and empowering. Whether you're newly diagnosed or managing a complex, long-term condition, we are here to support your journey toward improved health, resilience, and confidence, every step of the way.
