Who I am

My Mission

When people ask me what I do for a living, I tell them:

“I help clients regain optimal health through nutrition, lifestyle, and nutritional & herbal supplementation”.  

BUT WHAT I REALLY WANT TO SAY IS…

I listen to your health story and help you create a new one.

As early on as I can remember, I’ve been a listener.  This used to get me lots of comments from others about how I never talked, never talked enough, or was “too quiet”. I even acquired some unwanted nicknames for this.  And I’ve done my share of beating myself up about it, but years and years of trying to be someone I’m not led me to exhaustion.  Then I realized…

I’m a listener.

Now, I leverage that skill for the benefit of your health.  

Fun fact: I wrote a column in my high school newspaper that I filled with the life stories from the people in the little community that raised me.  I set out to become a naturopathic doctor so that I could help the people in these stories live fuller lives.  When you work with me, you tell me your health story and I listen- like, REALLY listen- and then we work together to make that story as good as we can.

Health as nature intended.
