But apart from the labels - my purpose in life is helping others living with autoimmune disease to regain control of their life.
My Story
I’m not sure when it all started. Looking back, I can identify my Hashimotos Thyroiditis symptoms all the way back in my teens. After years of feeling sick and tired, I was finally diagnosed in 2009, at the age of 26. While I was relieved to have a name and valid reason for all my debilitating symptoms (I really wasn’t crazy!), it didn’t fix anything.
Traditional medications never relieved my symptoms or aches and pains, and my dosages continued to increase. I tried doing all the “right” things to get healthier, but I was still stuck in one constant flare up. I got hives every time I tried to exercise, had horrible hip and joint pain, couldn’t get out of bed, experienced uncontrollable weight-gain, bounced between anxiety and depression, and was living in a constant state of brain fog.
The final straw came during a hives breakout in 2015. Fed up with my body betraying me, I decided it was time to find a different solution.
Getting Well
Seeking that solution led me down the path to the Autoimmune Protocol.
Fast forward 10 years, and I am now living symptom free and taking zero medications, all thanks to the necessary nutritional and lifestyle changes I made using the Autoimmune Protocol. I now have energy to play and hike with my kids, the mental clarity to run my own practice, and have lost 20 pounds of inflammation! No more joint pain, no more sleepy days, no more anxiety + depression!
My new passion for this lifestyle is the reason I became a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and Certified Autoimmune Protocol Coach. I love to help others living with autoimmune disease to discover the root cause of their symptoms, and find comfort in becoming their own self advocate for their health care plan.
Living with an autoimmune disease doesn’t have to mean a life of pain, exhaustion, weight gain, and failed relationships. However, finding a way out can be daunting + overwhelming.
I take a holistic approach towards healing by supporting your mind, body and spirit.
By using the four methods below, we will improve digestion, support organ function + detoxification, address lifestyle blocking factors, and create a mental shift that will support a life time of
living well with autoimmune disease.
Food
By curating meal plans meant for YOUR body type and food sensitivities, you learn how to truly fuel yourself with
nutrient dense meals.
Lifestyle
Autoimmune wellness can’t be found with food alone. Together we navigate all aspects of your lifestyle to identify triggers, and replace them with supportive + restorative tools.
Labs + Supplements
I use functional lab testing to identify food sensitivities, gut microbiome function, digestive function, and any potential pathogens. A customized supplement protocol is curated based on these test results.
Mindset
Let’s walk through this together. Shifting our mindset around our disease is key to finding optimal health. I’m here to walk you through this process, every step of the way. We find tools that work for you, including meditations, journaling, and affirmations.

What People Are Saying
“
I feel better than I've felt in years. And I haven't counted a single calorie or macro. For once, this hasn't been a means to an end. This wasn't for a specific race or mountain to climb, but just the pursuit of self-care. I have a positive relationship with food and with my body now.
