A Journey of Deep Healing

After becoming a mom, everything shifted – not just my hormones and energy levels, but my entire system. Like many of my clients, I found myself navigating symptoms that crossed both physical and spiritual realms, yet no one could fully explain them. While struggling with brain fog, extreme fatigue, and muscle weakness, I searched everywhere for answers.

Each practitioner offered a different perspective. Some focused on the surface level suggesting adrenal fatigue or leaky gut. One practitioner even told me I “intuitively knew” what was wrong and just ‘trust myself’ but never offered any support, options, or care.

When I decided to take my health into my own hands, I ordered myself an array of labs. I discovered I had iron overload – my levels were extremely high. This discovery changed everything. Not only did my physical symptoms finally make sense, but I understood how this physical imbalance had been partially at the root of my physical weakness, my muscle pain, and my hormone health. I stopped chasing after what I was muscle tested for (thyroid and adrenals) and started focusing on what the true issues were. 

Getting clear answers allowed me to stop questioning my intuition and start really taking care of myself on all levels. I could release the idea that I was somehow blocking my own healing and instead embrace a truly holistic approach to my own health.

This is the kind of integrated healing journey I create for my clients. I make it a priority to honor both your physical symptoms and your spiritual wisdom. Together, we look beneath the surface to find not just the physical root causes, but also the deeper energetic/spiritual patterns that may be contributing to your experience.

A Different Kind of Care

As both a functional medicine doctor and Shamanic Reiki practitioner, my approach bridges the physical, energetic and spiritual realms of healing. I listen deeply to every symptom you’re experiencing – from the physical symptoms other doctors have dismissed as “normal” to the places your spirit may be stuck, things you can feel but can’t quite explain.

From both professional and personal experience, I understand that these symptoms are signposts pointing us toward deeper truths about your health. Sometimes these truths emerge through functional medicine testing, sometimes through Reiki, and often through a combination of both.

I don’t stop at basic labs and surface-level solutions. Instead, I analyze your complete story – your symptoms, history, and energy – to determine what blend of testing and healing modalities will help us find the true root of what you’re experiencing. 

For most of my clients, this means running functional medicine tests, navigating your plan and phases together, and being open to change, new ideas, and ongoing support. 

As someone who has navigated ulcerative colitis, I understand the profound impact that health challenges can have on every aspect of your life. I’ve walked this integrated healing path myself, which is why I’m passionate about helping others find their way to deep, lasting holistic health.

Understanding Through Experience

For years, I managed my mild ulcerative colitis naturally. When my symptoms got worse all of a sudden, I found my health plummeting while being cared for by medical professionals that didn’t seem to hear me. One provider insisted I had cancer, while another blew my symptoms off completely. 

Another insisted I follow their protocol despite my decline and hospitalization making it obvious the treatment wasn’t working. And when I messaged my trusted specialists, I was told by their staff that they saw the message but he was ignoring me because ‘he didn’t want to deal with me’. I was alone again and this ignorance left me near death with sepsis, end stage colitis, and I came close to losing my life. 

As I tried to navigate these conflicting opinions, I felt disconnected from my own inner knowing that was saying this isn’t working. My body was speaking clearly, but my providers weren’t listening to me or my body.

I felt like I was going crazy and it almost killed me.

I learned firsthand the critical importance of a practitioner who truly listens – not just to your symptoms, but your whole story. I also learned through lived experience that you can do everything “right” and still struggle with symptoms.

Your symptoms are not your fault, and there is a path forward that honors all of you.
