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 even working alongside a wellness mentor who helped me look at health in a whole new way. 🌿 That experience lit a fire in me. 🔥 I went on to earn my Master’s in Human Nutrition and Functional Health 🎓, determined to find real answers.

My symptoms improved, but I still wasn’t where I wanted to be. I’d sit through meetings, mortified by the sound of my rumbling gut 😳—still searching for relief.

Everything changed when I went through the FDN (Functional Diagnostic Nutrition) program 🧬 and finally had access to the right functional lab testing 🧪. For the first time, I had real answers. ✅ 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. 💫
