My passion for women’s health and root-cause healing derived from my own experience with chronic health issues years ago.

Like many women my age, I grew up during a time where being on birth control was “cool” — a seeming rite of passage into womanhood. I remember I couldn’t wait to get on it. At the ripe age of 16, I was dealing with some minor acne issues, and decided to go on the pill.

It wasn’t long before symptoms began to crop up that didn’t fit my shiny image of life on birth control. My hair started to fall out, I started experiencing extreme fatigue, constipation, and I was always f****** cold.

I consulted with numerous doctors - GPs, OBGYNs, Dermatologists. I was repeatedly dismissed for my symptoms and told that things would ‘likely level off soon’, or simply advised to go try a different form of birth control. One GP sent me out of her office with nothing but a recommendation to pick up some Rogaine from Walgreens.

I knew there had to be a deeper issue at play. I knew that my symptoms were real and that I deserved to be listened to. I decided to quit the pill cold turkey and sought the advice of a naturopath, who ran extensive bloodwork and functional labs on me.

Lo and behold, I was suffering from severe hypothyroidism, skyrocketed cortisol, and tanked sex hormones.

Those test results sent me on a hormone and gut healing journey that ultimately led to me becoming an FDN Practitioner. Today, I’ve balanced my hormones, repaired my gut, and I no longer suffer from the slew of symptoms that I once did. If it was possible for me, it’s possible for you, and I’d love to help you on your journey to feeling your best.
