For over 25 years I have seen women struggle with weight loss as well as the physical and emotional changes that come with hormone imbalances. I help women balance hormone and gut issues using functional lab testing, so you know exactly what you need to bring your body back into balance. If you are struggling with perimenopausal symptoms like night sweats, irritability, brain fog, insomnia or stubborn weight gain, I understand because I have been in your shoes. I love helping women address the root cause of their health concerns and teach them how to heal naturally.

Ideal clients are individuals who spend a significant amount of time worrying about their body, weight, and food choices, often feeling trapped in a cycle of restriction, guilt, and frustration. They may believe they'll never achieve their health goals. These clients are ready to explore the diet cycle, challenge misinformation, and develop mindfulness around their thoughts on food, weight, and health. This process helps quiet the constant “food noise” in their minds and fosters greater self-compassion, freedom, and peace with food.
