I was introduced to functional medicine out of necessity, when in 2018, I experienced a life-threatening stroke due to my Type 1 Diabetes being misdiagnosed as vertigo. Since my diagnosis, I have been living a lifestyle of healing and finding answers to sustain lasting change. Education is the name of the game and my passion. In working with over 100 clients, I find that education is the important part of any change. Knowing why we have these afflictions and how they work is the first step to creating a higher quality of life. As a health coach, I'm able to combine my passion for education, health, and nutrition with my knowledge of behavior change to partner with and empower you to make sustainable changes in your life.
