Many of my clients come to me feeling exhausted despite training hard, stuck in their performance, or unsure if they’re fueling enough to support their training. In many cases, this is related to underfueling or low energy availability, which can impact energy, recovery, and performance and may progress to REDs. Others are navigating pregnancy or postpartum and feel unsure how to meet their body’s changing needs while caring for their baby.
As a former collegiate athlete and mom, I understand these challenges firsthand and help clients move forward with clarity and confidence.

This client is talkative, friendly, and eager to learn. They have diagnosed IBS and sought support to work through a low FODMAP plan with a dietitian. Symptoms are limiting daily activities and enjoyment of life, so relief would help them feel like themselves again. I enjoy gut health work because it’s a complex puzzle we solve together to create a new, lower-symptom baseline. They’re typically 20–40 years old and open to exploring a variety of tools.

I am a nationally board certified acupuncturist with over 22 yrs experience, and nearly 28 years of experience teaching qigong, tai chi and yoga. I love acupuncture because it works - naturally, with no extreme side-effects, for a variety of conditions. I believe in the body's extraordinary ability to heal itself. When acupuncture activates that powerful healing force - pain disappears, illness resolves, depression and anxiety lift, weight is lost and vitality is restored. My approach is straightforward and compassionate - creating a safe space where clients can feel heard, at ease and receptive to acupuncture's healing effects.
