ABOUT ME
More than anything, I am an educator. I partner with my clients to create the conditions for their self-healing, providing a personalized education and roadmap so that they can heal themselves. Although food elimination and supplementation are often important to create favorable conditions for healing in the immediate-term, my ultimate goal is to support clients so that they have more health - and less restriction - in the long-term.
​
One of my biggest priorities is staying up to date on the latest research and health information. As a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner (FDN-P), I've completed additional training with Dr. Klinghardt, MD, PhD, a pioneer in progressive, European biological health approaches with deep experience in reversing persistent conditions and chronic symptoms, an area where standard conventional approaches unfortunately fall short. As a driven researcher and educator, my approach is always evolving to incorporate the latest research, insights, and most importantly, what I learn from our one-on-one sessions together, in order to best partner with my clients on their self-healing process.
​
My Story
It was my own health journey that led me to create FX Healing. Growing up, I was the picture of health - international traveler, wilderness enthusiast, adventure seeker. It wasn't until I experienced a hefty dose of adult stress - including many years of long days (and nights) working in consulting while being fueled by a less-than-optimal diet, bad sleep, and all sorts of stress - that my health crashed. I was so fatigued and weak that I couldn't stand in the shower, I had such severe headaches, brain fog, and cognitive issues that I had to go on leave from my job, and I could barely eat anything without severe neurological and brain-related symptoms. This went on for years...
Finding Hope in the Holistic Medicine and Biological Healing Models
After seeing 20+ physicians and providers with few answers (just a whole lot of diagnoses and drugs in an attempt to suppress symptoms), I finally found my way to a series of skilled functional, European biological, and bioenergetic practitioners. Along with my own research, they were able to help me start to identify the root causes of my symptoms and start healing, step-by-step. From toxicity to hidden infections to unresolved psycho-emotional trauma, things were out of balance long before my health crashed, I just didn't know it since I was so caught up in the demands of life.
​
Paying it Forward
My own journey, as well as the practitioners who have supported my healing, deeply inspired me to pay it forward and help others. With training and credentials not only in functional health, advanced labs, bioenergetics, and nutrition, but also in education and research, I am passionate about teaching people how what we do in our daily lives can either promote health or promote dis-ease. Healing is like sailing - a little bit this way, adjust the sails, a little bit that way, adjust the sails and so on. It takes persistence and time, but our bodies are absolutely designed to heal under the right conditions, and I look forward to helping you get there.
