So I built a different approach.
One that actually looks at what’s driving your symptoms instead of masking them or blaming your effort.
Using functional lab testing, we identify root causes like mineral imbalances, cortisol dysregulation, inflammation, and gut health issues that quietly keep your body stuck.
Then we support your body properly so it can feel safe enough to release weight, restore energy, and help you feel like yourself again.
This isn’t about quick fixes or guessing. It’s about supporting your body properly so it can respond again.
You know the drill.
You leave the doctor’s office with either a new medication or a quick, “Your bloodwork looks fine, there’s not much we can do.”
Meanwhile, you’re exhausted.
Your weight is creeping up.
And you know something feels off in your body.
I spent 18 years working as a Registered Nurse, and over that time I watched so many women in perimenopause get dismissed, brushed off, and told this was “just aging.”
I wasn’t okay with that. So I built a different approach.
When I struggled with my own hormones and metabolism 10 years ago, I found myself feeling overwhelmed and frustrated. My life consisted of constantly thinking about food, what to eat, what not to eat, the next diet, restricting calories and exercise.
I hated how my body looked and how I felt - acne, unwanted weight, low energy, painful periods, headaches and mood swings. It felt like my body and metabolism were broken because I thought I was doing all the things I was supposed to be doing.
It wasn't until I realized the power of food, and the havoc I had caused my body to be in by NOT giving my body what it needed for balanced hormones so I could feel my BEST, being able to run around get things done without huffing and puffing, and feeling damn good in my body & clothes.
I know that there is a lot of noise out there on what to focus on, but as a Registered Nurse of 18 years, I can tell you with confidence, that there is a natural solution that can help you ignite your metabolism so you can release weight, feel energized and experience happy stable moods.
Weight loss is not about calories in and out.
First and foremost - I'm married to the best guy who is incredibly supportive of our family. I 'm also a mom of 3 awesome kids - 10, 8 and 5, and they’re my world.
Nature is my happy place — I enjoy hikes, nature walks, and soaking up every moment I can outdoors.
I don’t like crowds, LOVE the lake and love good food
Supporting women’s transformative journeys to energy and confidence has been a dream come true for me!

It's all about balancing your hormones so we can get to the root causes of stubborn weight and low energy, something that is very different from the 'traditional' weight loss approach, and it works!

Even if it feels like nothing works anymore.
If your weight keeps creeping up no matter what you do, your pants feel tight one day and worse the next, and the scale won’t budge even though you’re eating clean and working out, this isn’t because you failed.
The old way of doing things just doesn’t work in this phase.
Your perimenopausal body needs different support now.
Support that fills nutrient gaps, balances minerals, and helps your metabolism respond instead of staying stuck in holding mode.
When you stop guessing and start supporting what your body actually needs, bloating settles, energy comes back, and weight can finally start to shift.
If you just want to feel comfortable in your clothes again and recognize yourself, you’re in the right place. 💜
