In one or two sentences, what do you do and who do you serve?

I serve women who are frustrated with the lack of answers in conventional medicine. My goal is that every women have the energy, peace and confidence she needs to joyfully serve her family.

What makes your approach or perspective unique?

Root cause! Using in depth testing like genetics, gut microbiome, cortisol and hormone testing to create a personalized plan and walk through it with patients 1:1 so they can achieve the best outcome possible!

What transformation or result do clients experience when working with you?

Sustained energy, weight loss, food freedom, decreased anxiety, able to stay off or get off prescription meds and feel like yourself again.

What led you into this work?

Frustration with conventional medicine. I worked in family practice for 14 years and I had NO answers for all of the women feeling exhausted, gaining weight and starting meds for anxiety. I also struggled with anxiety for many years and felt like a slave to medications. I knew there had to be a better way!

Share a defining moment in your career that shaped how you lead today.

COVID and the birth on my third child. I didn't like the way medicine was moving and felt like I wasn't truly helping people which is why I went into medicine to begin with.

What impact are you most proud of making?

Totally transformation in the lives of the women I work with. They feel like themselves again, they can joyfully serve their families. I feel I'm truly able to make a difference.

What message would you share with other women stepping into leadership?

It will be hard but it is worth it! My faith has played a huge role in my vision and ability to persevere. Seeing the incredible outcomes my patients get keep me going!

Three words that define you as a leader:

Conviction: I don't follow trends for the sake of it.

Compassionate: I want women to feel seen and heard after years of being dismissed.

Intentional: I value evidence and personalization over a one-size-fits-all approach

What do you want to be remembered for?

Giving women answers when no one else would. Restored hope. Changed families, not just lab results.
