Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.

I firmly believe that you are the C.E.O. of your own health. My passion for functional wellness doesn’t just come from textbooks—it comes from a deeply personal journey of reclaiming my own health and vitality.

At 40 years old, I was living a vibrant life as a wife, mother, and ordained minister when a life-threatening infection caused kidney disease. While the traditional medical system brilliantly saved my life through emergency interventions—for which I am forever grateful—the years that followed became a frustrating cycle of treating symptoms rather than addressing the root cause.

With every new symptom came a new prescription, eventually leaving me on 13 medications. Eight years after the initial infection, I was in stage 4 kidney failure, carrying 70 pounds of fluid retention, and could barely walk. I was miserable, but I refused to believe this was the end of my story. Looking back, that was my turning point.

Reclaim Your Health

Then I began researching root-cause healing, dove into The Wahls Protocol by Terry Wahls, MD and The Autoimmune Solution by Amy Myers, MD, and completely revolutionized my health through targeted diet and lifestyle changes.

The results were life-changing. Within six months, the fluid was gone, and my kidney function normalized for the first time in nearly a decade. I didn't just return to my beloved mountains to hike and snowshoe—my husband and I even took up backpacking! I got my life back, I began thriving in ways I never had before.

Today, alongside my continued work as an ordained minister, I am dedicated to helping others find their own path to healing. If you want to reclaim your health, please know this: not only do I believe you can, I know you can. I am living proof that healing is possible. Whether you are living with a chronic condition or a senior adult wanting to stay active and independent there is always hope!

It would be my distinct honor to join you on your journey, and partner with you to help you reclaim your health, maintain your independence, and live your own vibrant, purpose-filled life!
