You Know Something Feels Off.Let's Figure Out Why.

Personalized functional medicine health coaching that uncovers root causes, connects the dots, and helps you move forward with confidence.

You've tried a lot of things.And you still don't feel well.

Many of my clients come to me feeling frustrated, dismissed, or exhausted from trying to piece everything together on their own.

They've seen multiple practitioners. Tried elimination diets. Followed wellness influencers. Bought the supplements.

And they still don't feel well.

My role is to help simplify the process, identify potential root contributors, and create a practical, sustainable plan that actually fits your life.

A Little Bit About Me& My Approach

When your body doesn't feel its best, it's easy to end up with more questions than answers. My role is to help you better understand what's driving your symptoms and create a personalized, science-based plan that supports lasting health—not another quick fix.

You'll receive an evidence-informed approach that combines functional medicine with compassionate coaching, helping you make meaningful changes that are realistic, sustainable, and tailored to your life. 

While I work with a wide range of health concerns, I most often help people navigating gut health issues, osteoporosis and bone health, metabolic health, autoimmune conditions, chronic inflammation, and environmental toxin exposures.

I'm a board-certified functional medicine health coach, certified through the Institute for Functional Medicine, trained in Mind-Body Medicine through the Center for Mind-Body Medicine, and hold a master's degree in Developmental Psychology from Teachers College, Columbia University.

Lasting health doesn't come from chasing the latest wellness trend or relying on one-size-fits-all solutions. It comes from understanding the whole person, asking the right questions, and making thoughtful, practical changes that address the factors contributing to your symptoms.

Why Work With Me?

Choosing a health coach is about more than credentials—it's about finding someone with the experience to help you make sense of your health and confidently move forward.

For more than 10 years, I worked alongside and was mentored by Dr. Susan Blum, one of the pioneers of functional medicine and a leading expert in autoimmune disease. As Director of Health Coaching at Blum Center for Health, I learned firsthand how to translate complex functional medicine principles into practical, personalized care.

Rather than simply studying functional medicine, I spent years designing and leading evidence-informed coaching programs that helped people successfully implement it in their everyday lives. I developed and led online coaching programs based on Dr. Blum's bestselling books, The Immune System Recovery Plan and Healing Arthritis. I also created a comprehensive Bone Health Program and an advanced Toxin Reset Program to help people address osteoporosis, environmental toxin exposures, and other complex health concerns through a practical, root-cause approach.

Today, I bring that same experience to every client I work with. Whether you're looking for personalized one-on-one coaching or support implementing one of these proven programs, you'll receive compassionate guidance, practical strategies, and a personalized roadmap designed to help you create meaningful, lasting change.
