Functional medicine is a biology-based whole-person approach to achieving and sustaining optimal health through diet, lifestyle, and personalized supplements. This holistic healthcare practice delves beyond symptom management to address the root cause of illness & disease and naturally restore balance within the body.

Simply put, it’s medicine – the way medicine was intended to be.

My work centers around creating personalized diet and lifestyle habits that leaving you feeling amazing. As a client, you’ll have access to personalized nutrition plans, tailored supplement recommendations, curated recipes and educational materials, and ongoing messaging support.

Depending on your situation, we may utilize functional lab tests to help identify imbalances within the body and pinpoint specific areas for improvement. Lab tests that I currently offer include:

  • Comprehensive stool test (GI Map)
  • Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) breath testing
  • Comprehensive sex & adrenal hormone test (DUTCH)
  • Hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA)
  • Food sensitivity testing
  • Mold and mycotoxin test
  • Organic acid test
  • Blood tests for nutrient status, blood sugar balance, thyroid function, inflammation, etc.

Maintaining one’s health and vitality is no easy feat in today’s modern-day world. My programs are designed for the modern-day woman who is committed to feeling and functioning her best, despite the challenges.

Many of the clients that I work with have been through the ringer in terms of the medical system, only to be gaslit into believing that their symptoms are “normal” or handed a medication to suppress symptoms (without actually investigating what might be causing them).

And while each person’s situation looks a little different, many common symptoms or conditions that I work with include…

    • Digestive issues (bloating, constipation, diarrhea, acid reflux, IBS, etc.)
    • Hormonal imbalances (PMS, PCOS, infertility, menopause, etc.)
    • Autoimmune disorders (Hashimoto’s, Celiac, IBD, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Type 1 Diabetes, etc.)
    • Skin issues (acne, eczema, psoriasis, etc.)
    • Mood disturbances (anxiety, depression, mood swings, etc.)
    • Metabolic disorders (Type 2 diabetes, weight gain or weight loss resistance, high cholesterol, etc.)
    • Chronic fatigue & burnout (sometimes referred to as “adrenal fatigue”)
    • Impaired neurocognitive function (brain fog, poor cognition, etc.)

It’s important to note that, while evidence-based, many of the approaches that we use may still be considered “unconventional” by western medicine standards. A willingness to explore alternative testing and healing modalities is essential to client success.

The success of our clients is predicated on a readiness to invest in their health from a physical, mental, emotional, and financial standpoint. Our programs may not be for you if…

    • You’re looking for a “quick fix” diet or magic pill to fix all of your problems.
    • You are not ready to make nutrition or lifestyle changes to transform your health.
    • You are just looking for a meal plan or weight loss plan.
    • You’re unwilling to examine patterns, habits, or environments that may be contributing to symptoms.
    • You believe anything other than conventional medicine is “woo woo” and lacks validity.
    • You are not ready to invest in labs or supplements that will help you to heal.
    • You are not interested in understanding your body on a deeper level.

This will vary depending on the complexity of your case, as well as how much time and effort you’re willing to commit to your treatment protocol. On average, most clients require a minimum of 3 months of 1:1 work to achieve their desired results.

True healing takes time. Chances are, you didn’t become unwell overnight, so give your body some grace!

As a dietitian, I believe wholeheartedly in a food-first approach. That said, there are times when food alone won’t cut it. In these cases, supplements can be a powerful and potent tool to help rebalance the body and accelerate the healing process. Supplement recommendations will always be tailored to your body’s unique needs and will be utilized for the shortest duration possible.

I am not affiliated with any supplement companies and therefore will provide unbiased recommendations based on the latest research and my clinical experience. Clients enrolled in my 1:1 program receive a 35% discount on professional grade supplements to help keep your out-0f-pocket costs as low as possible.

Due to the complex and in-depth nature of the work that I do, I am unable to accept insurance at this time. I do however accept HSA/FSA cards and can provide invoices for you to submit to your insurance company upon request.

Cost varies based on the length and intensity of the selected program/service. Most clients prefer the comprehensive individualized support offered through 1:1 coaching packages, which start at $595 (3 months).

I believe that functional medicine can truly change peoples’ lives (I’m living proof!) and I am committed to making these services accessible to as many people as possible. In order to do so, I will occasionally offer special discounts and promotions on my coaching packages. These deals are available to new clients only and must be redeemed within the specified time frame. If this is something that you’re interested in, then be sure to subscribe to my email list and follow me on Instagram to stay up-to-date on exclusive deals or promotions (but please note that these deals only occur 1-2 times per year!)

In the meantime… if you’re looking to the get the biggest bang for your buck (and who isn’t?!) then private coaching packages are the way to go. These packages have been carefully curated to provide optimal benefit at the lowest cost to clients. Clients who purchase 3-month coaching packages save an average of $150 off traditional a la carte prices, while also receiving access to a higher level of ongoing support.

Not at all! All of our services are 100% virtual, so you can join from the comfort and convenience of your own home (or wherever you choose to join from). However, due to licensure laws, we are unable to see clients who live outside of the U.S. at this time.

Interested clients are encouraged to schedule a free no-obligation 20-minute strategy call to discuss your unique health concerns/goals and address any questions that you may have regarding my services. No uncomfortable, sleezy, or pushy sales tactics – just the opportunity to chat face-to-face with another human and determine if we’re a good fit for one another.

I totally get it. Doing a deep dive into your health often requires a pretty significant financial investment and time commitment. And if you’re used to the insurance-based conventional healthcare model (where you pay a small copay in exchange for a brief 15-minute appointment), then paying out-of-pocket for healthcare services can seem like a really big – and often uncomfortable – ask.

That said, I’ve found that the clients who reap the greatest benefits from this work are those who are fully invested in the process – both physically and emotionally. If you’re not quite there yet, no worries.
