I am a functional medicine health and wellness coach certified through the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy. I am also a practicing Doctor of Physical Therapy, a birth doula, and mother to two sweet babies! 

​

My personal health journey began around 2017, as I navigated through an autoimmune thyroid condition triggered by a series of significant life events and environmental stressors. I bounced from primary physicians to specialists to conventional medicine diagnostics/tests with all of their attempts at a diagnosis. I found myself overwhelmingly disenchanted with our traditional medical model and its challenges to diagnose and manage autoimmune conditions and chronic disease. Eventually, my journey led me to functional medicine, which begged the question "WHY?" I gradually began to discover the root causes of my health concerns and, after a few short years, was able to feel in control of my own health and wellness. 

​

I am a believer in the functional medicine approach to managing health conditions as it is individualized, systems-based, treats the root causes (not just symptoms), and supports a preventative health mindset. Through my practice as a physical therapist, I have also observed the power of addressing root causes, often discussing lifestyle and behavioral factors as they relate to my patients' pain and dysfunction. ​

​

My greatest purpose in life lies in connecting to and serving others. This has led me to my coaching venture! I am excited to pursue a board certification in coaching in early 2026. In my downtime, I love to immerse myself in nature and spend time with those who mean the most to me. I enjoy hiking, camping, fly fishing, playing acoustic guitar, and strength training.
