I’ve always been fascinated by the complexity and power of the human body. 

​

As a competitive swimmer, I enjoyed a simple relationship with my own body until my late forties, when I began experiencing many subtle (and ultimately not-so-subtle) symptoms. All the while, my physical checkups were perfect. Then an old friend directed me to a functional practitioner. This doctor examined me in a whole new way and empowered me with everyday things I could do to restore my own health. I was fascinated!

 

This kicked off my age of reckless research, wanting to know more, as I also began to recognize the common thread of autoimmunity in the myriad of health issues across my family of origin. Ultimately I dove full-time into a fantastic functional training program.

​

Now a Practitioner, I know that when properly supported, the body has amazing brilliance and resilience. My goal is to share how your daily habits related to diet and lifestyle affect your body’s ability to nourish, repair, support and protect you. This helps you discover real choice when it comes to your health and how you move through life. Because your body isn’t failing you; it always has a reason. Our modern lifestyle is requiring it to work incredibly hard on your behalf…. every….single….day (and night!)... with no breaks. I guide you in discovering the many ways you can partner with your body, tweaking the things you do every day, so that you lighten your body’s burden and increase its support. Then it can perform brilliantly, as designed.

Whether you are seeking optimal health or are trying to best support your body in managing a chronic condition, I work with you to help you understand what is happening in your body and guide you in best supporting it.
