Some Fun Facts About Me:
I have a mini golden doodle pup named Gracie. I was a competitive figure skater from age six to 22 and competed at collegiate nationals two years in a row. I recently discovered my absolute love of all things veggie gardening. My favorite color is pink and I love to dance (like no one is watching) in my spare time :)
A Bit About My Personal Journey
As a functional nutritionist, I view health as a connection of mind, body, spirit and seek to identify and address underlying root cause factors or barriers to health. My love of nutrition & holistic wellness is personal to me as I was able to bring my chronic conditions & symptoms of Hashimoto's thyroiditis, IBS, Stage 4 Endometriosis, Pelvic Floor Dysfunction & Interstitial Cystitis into remission through the mind-body approach I utilize with my clients today.
