I’ve been in your shoes—and I’m here to help you take your health back.

I know firsthand how frustrating, exhausting, and isolating gut issues can be. For over 25 years, I struggled with digestive symptoms that impacted nearly every part of my life. I was dismissed by doctors who told me, “It’s just IBS—learn to live with it.” At one point, I could only eat a small handful of foods without triggering discomfort. When I brought up that food seemed to make things worse, I was told there was no connection.

But I knew there had to be more.

So, I took matters into my own hands. I dove headfirst into the world of wellness—experimenting with diets, studying nutrition, and working alongside a wellness mentor who helped me see health through a completely new lens. That experience lit a fire in me. I went on to earn my Master’s in Human Nutrition and Functional Health, determined to keep learning and find lasting solutions.

Eventually, I enrolled in the FDN (Functional Diagnostic Nutrition) program and gained access to functional lab testing. That’s when the missing pieces finally came together. My symptoms disappeared, and I began eating foods I hadn’t tolerated in years. My gut feels better now than it ever has—and I want that for you, too.

I’ve been at rock bottom. I know what it’s like to feel unheard, hopeless, and stuck. But I also know what it’s like to come out the other side—and I’m here to walk that path with you.

You can get better. And I’ll be here for you every step of the way.
