My journey with chronic illness started early. As a child, I was diagnosed with Graves’ Disease—a condition that left me with a racing heart, a visible goiter, and so much fatigue that I couldn’t even ride my bike or play at recess. It was a confusing and isolating time, especially for a young girl just trying to feel normal.

Fast forward twenty years: I had just given birth to my first child. What should’ve been a joyful season quickly turned into another health crisis. I gained 50 pounds almost overnight. My hair was falling out in clumps. I felt depressed, anxious, and exhausted beyond belief. After countless doctor visits and several misdiagnoses, I was still left without answers—and without hope.

Eventually, I was diagnosed with multiple autoimmune conditions. But even with that knowledge, the medications weren’t helping. I knew there had to be something more.

That’s when I discovered Functional Medicine—and everything changed.

Through a deeper, root-cause approach, I learned that my body was dealing with hormone imbalances, leaky gut, gluten sensitivity, and even a systemic yeast infection. For the first time, things made sense. I wasn’t crazy. I wasn’t broken. My body was simply crying out for help—and I finally learned how to listen.

I realized healing doesn’t come from masking symptoms with more pills. It comes from understanding your body, nourishing it, and giving it what it truly needs to thrive. And now, I’ve made it my mission to help others do the same.

Today, I work with clients both locally in the Boise, Idaho area and virtually, guiding them through their own healing journeys with compassion, experience, and the belief that real wellness is possible.
