I have always had a natural curiosity for the human body and our complex world, which drove me to receive a BS in Biology at Western Washington University in 2005. Yet, the connections between food, nutrients, our bodies, the earth, and full health took me longer to develop.  I ultimately found my way towards healing through integrative and functional medicine practices.

Once I discovered that everything I was putting into my body was affecting me, my personal experimenting began. For the last decade, I tried and tested nearly every diet and detox, deepening my understanding of how different approaches influenced my own health. I also completed my MS in Nutrition and Integrative Health at The Maryland University of Integrative Health, further enhancing my scientific and empirical understanding of overall wellness, and how unique individuals are influenced by these different dietary and lifestyle approaches. This comprehensive background in health and wellness allowed for my own healing, brought immense influence to my family’s health, and gave me the passion to reach beyond my family.  I now live symptom-free, full of energy, and a strong desire to help others heal their own bodies and minds.
