Doctor of Nursing Practice and Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner
"I love listening to the healthcare journeys of many people. Unfortunately, lots of these include years of being dismissed or getting little to no answers. Just because a symptom is common, does not mean it is normal. I am inspired when people keep searching for answers and don’t give up. And I will not give up either. When I first started as a healthcare professional, I expected to truly help people heal. When I realized my training lacked all the necessary tools, I searched for additional training. Enter Functional Medicine. I believe my purpose is sharing what I have learned and helping clients on their journey to functional healing.”
