Health can be simple, fun & delicious!

I help people develop a healthy relationship with food so that they can reach their full potential of health, vibrance and happiness. Healing from Scratch, we will get to the root causes of your imbalances and help you determine what works best for you based on your individuality.

 

 

 

 

 

 

While there are millions of diets and health blogs, most are not geared towards you as an individual. And most don't even touch on what you are going through mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. I'll help you determine what works best for you based on your unique background, medical history, diet habits, emotional health, social life, culture, career status, genetics, and microbiome or internal ecosystem.

 The APPROACH 

Individualized Recommendations

One size doesn't fit all! That's why I take an in depth look at your history, lifestyle, and biological uniqueness to get to the root causes of imbalance. Next, we come up with realistic goals together to support the areas you need help with.

I am trained in Integrative and Functional Medical Nutrition Therapy, Vitalist Medicine philosophies, and Western Clinical Herbalism. 
I apply the latest scientific research in conjunction with natural medicine philosophies. I view you as a whole person that needs to be nourished 
physically, mentally, emotionally, socially and spiritually.

Natural Medicine

I don't just hand you a print out diet and give you 
recommendations. Instead, my goal is to make healthy living fun and sustainable by helping you gain valuable skills such as nutrition education, cooking, meal planning, kitchen & pantry set-up, shopping, stress reduction techniques, gardening and more!
