My Story
From First Responder to Root Cause Restorer
For 22 years, I served in the Fire Service as a Lieutenant Firefighter/Paramedic in a busy Chicago suburb. I knew what it meant to face crisis, until my own body became the battleground.
After a series of life-altering tragedies, I began experiencing relentless, unexplained symptoms. My nervous system was stuck in a constant state of fight-or-flight. I was eating, but not being nourished, surviving, but not truly living. Muscle loss, brain fog, and deep fatigue began to take over.
Refusing to accept that this was “just the way it is,” I turned to Functional Nutrition and completed the Full Body Systems program, tutored by Andrea Nakyama.
It changed everything. I discovered the deeper reasons behind my decline and the path to true healing. Not by chasing symptoms, but by addressing the root causes. I moved from post-traumatic stress to post-traumatic growth.
My training in nutrition, combined with my background in emergency medicine, gives me a unique perspective on how the body functions under stress and in recovery.
Today, my mission is to help others reclaim their health, especially those who feel unseen or dismissed by conventional approaches. You deserve more than symptom management. You deserve to feel whole again, and I’m here to guide that process.
Personalized Healing for Lasting Relief
As a Functional Nutrition and Lifestyle Practitioner, I work with individuals who are living with chronic, unresolved symptoms, digestive distress, anxiety, depression, pain, insomnia, brain fog, mood swings, and stubborn weight that won’t budge.
Many of my clients have been diagnosed with autoimmune conditions and have spent years searching for answers through conventional medicine only to be
told their labs are “normal”
while their suffering continues.
I take a systems-based, root-cause approach because no two bodies are the same. Your story, your biology, your lifestyle, they all matter. That’s why I create a personalized wellness plan built specifically around you.
My goal is to help you become your healthiest, most vibrant self, free from the obstacles holding you back.
Be vibrant. Be free. Flourish.
