For years, I knew something was off in my body. I was constantly exhausted, always getting sick, and no one could tell me why. Doctors tested me for every autoimmune disease, checked my TSH, ran complete blood counts, and screened me for diabetes. Every result came back “normal.” That is, until it didn’t.

In 2019, I had a cyst removed from my neck. Since my father had one when he was young, the doctors weren’t concerned—it was supposed to be a routine procedure. But when my incision wouldn’t heal, I went in for a follow-up and heard one of the scariest words in the English language: cancer. The cyst in my neck was full of carcinogenic thyroid tissue.

I was only 37. I ate well, exercised, and yet, here I was—facing thyroid cancer. But deep down, I wasn’t entirely surprised. I had struggled with my health for years. The brain fog, the bloating, the chronic fatigue, the anxiety—it had all been adding up. Determined to take control, I decided to work with a holistic nutritionist before my thyroidectomy. She ran functional labs and uncovered what traditional tests had missed: parasites, H. pylori, gut dysbiosis, estrogen dominance, extremely low cortisol, and high inflammation markers.

With her guidance, I overhauled my health. I changed my diet, rebalanced my gut, supported my hormones, and detoxed my body and environment. The transformation was so profound that I knew I had to help others do the same. That’s when I made the life-changing decision to go back to school.

I became a Certified Nutritional Practitioner (CNP) and was honored to graduate valedictorian from the Institute of Holistic Nutrition. I continued my education in gut health, autoimmunity, hormones, and adrenal health, so I could help others find the answers that had once felt so out of reach for me. Now, I work with people who feel stuck in their health journeys—struggling with chronic fatigue, bloating, inflammation, hormone imbalances, and autoimmune conditions—helping them get to the root cause and reclaim their energy naturally.

I’ve now been cancer-free for over five years; and at 42, I feel better than I ever have. I want to help you get there too.

I attended the Institute of Holistic Nutrition (IHN) to become a Certified Nutritional Practitioner (CNP). I also completed a continued education program through IHN on gut health, with training on how to interpret functional stool tests. Additionally, I have received formal training in autoimmunity, adrenal health, and hormone health under the immensely gifted holistic nutritionist, Brett Hawes.

I am a member of the National Association of Nutritional Practitioners (NANP) and take continued education seriously. I will forever be a student of health and nutrition, focused on learning everything I can about gut health, thyroid health, and hormones.
