this is me. and this is my why.
In 2018 I was a new mom of two, taking seven medications daily, and miserable. My hormones were a wreck. I was an advanced healthcare provider unable to care for herself. So, I started to ask WHY.
Questioning everything I have learned in school and in practice as a nurse practitioner led me down a path that changed my whole thought process on how to best care for our bodies.
I started using natural remedies, like essential oils, to care for my body instead of over the counter and prescription medicines. As I started to feel better, I wanted to help others realize the same things about their own health - that they have the power to help themselves feel better.
I have a passion for education. I want you to know your body, how to support your body, and help you to begin to LIVE WELL.

this is functional medicine.
So what is Functional Medicine? It uses a systems-based approach to look at your body as a WHOLE. Functional Medicine looks for the ROOT CAUSE of any condition vs, Traditional Medicine that compartmentalizes the body into silo systems.
EXAMPLE: Traditional Medicine would suggest the gastrointestinal system is NOT related to your skin health while Functional Medicine would state that they interconnected meaning one DOES affect the other.
When we look at our experiences, family history, work history, childhood, and more, we are able to uncover what and why the underlying cause of one's health conditions occur. When we fix those root causes, the dominoes start falling and you begin to FEEL BETTER and LIVE BETTER.
