Congrats! If you're here, you want to take back control of your health.
Cancer and Autoimmune diagnoses are scary. I've been there...multiple times. But you have more control than you think. An ever-growing body of research confirms that diet and lifestyle have a significant impact on managing chronic disease, including cancer. It's all about cultivating healthy soil (terrain) that undermines the disease process.
You can take control of your care and restore your health by changing what you eat, how you live your life, the environment that you live in, and how you care for your mind, body, heart, and soul.
Let me help you learn how to utilize your health history, labs, and genetic information to design nutrition, environment, and lifestyle practices that are specific to your biochemistry. I can teach you how to identify and eliminate root-cause contributors to your disease process and amplify the effectiveness of your treatment plan!
How Do I Know Which Diet is Right For Me?
Each body is quite literally a unique combination lock of factors when it comes to nutritional requirements and they can change over time as the body and circumstances change. This is why there is so much confusion about which diet is the right diet and why every diet seems to have a cult following. Every diet is the right diet...for some bodies.
We will work together to use YOUR data to zero in on the optimal diet for YOU based on YOUR unique situation and bio-individual nutritional needs. I am here to recommend, support, and educate—every step of improved nutrition is a step in the direction of more vibrant health and it's not just about food.

Client Success Stories
Service FAQs
Women are my focus simply due to the volume of Lichen Sclerosus cases I get. However, I will work with men as well. I have a lot of male clients on the oncology side of my business. I currently do not work with children.
Unfortunately, I can’t work with anyone that is pregnant or breastfeeding. I use a lot of botanicals and most of these haven’t been tested for safety while pregnant or breastfeeding. The only exception is women who have been diagnosed with cancer during pregnancy or postpartum. You are more than welcome to come back to me when you are ready.
Yes! I work remotely with all of my clients and have clients all over the world. We communicate via direct message through my online portal and all sessions are video conference calls through Zoom.
Labs kits are shipped to your address and conducted in the privacy of your own home. Kits include pre-paid mailers which can be dropped off at your local UPS or FedEx location. Turnaround times for lab work vary from 1-5 weeks depending on the lab.
I do all of the work for you. You don’t have to order any labs and you don’t need to go through your doctor either although you may choose to go through your doctor for any blood chemistry that is covered under insurance and your doctor is willing to order. I have all of your labs mailed directly to you at home.
I like to talk to potential clients first because I want to make sure we are a good fit for each other. I also want to hear your story and listen to what symptoms you have been experiencing. This way I can better assess which package and tests might be best for you. Please apply to work with me by booking an intro consultation.
I currently do not accept insurance.
In most cases, functional lab assessments are considered alternative medicine and are not covered under insurance.
If your insurance pays for out-of-network labs then you may be able to get partial or full coverage for labs. Few labs will submit to insurance but most labs will provide you with a receipt which you can turn into your insurance to see if they will cover the cost.
Under many circumstances, you can use HSA (health savings accounts) to cover costs but I recommend checking first to make sure.
Fees and lab fees are usually tax-deductible if you itemize health care costs. Check with your tax specialist to be certain.
Self-treatment protocols are individualized for every client I work with. I use your health history, lifestyle, symptom, functional lab tests, conventional blood work, and genetic data to help guide me to provide you with health-building strategies and drug-free all natural protocols.
As long as it takes to get you feeling better. Everyone is so different and heals at different rates. It often depends on what you have going on. More complex situations can take a lot longer to heal. On average I work with clients for 6-12 months but that may be different for you.
NO. While you are certainly welcome to discuss the possibility of weening off your medication with your doctor, I am not legally authorized to advise you to stop taking prescription medications. More importantly, discontinuing medications without the approval of a licensed medical professional can be detrimental to your health.
In a sense, the process of healing is very much like steering a massive ocean liner. While correcting your course by one or two degrees may not seem to alter your position all that much, three months later you find yourself in friendly uncharted waters! This process is a work-in = work-out scenario. The more dedicated you are to your health and doing the work, the more positive outcomes you are likely to see.
Results are highly individual and may depend on 1) the length of time you’ve been experiencing chronic stress, and 2) to what degree the underlying stress has been present.
I cannot guarantee results; however, there are reasonable expectations that symptoms will resolve or partially resolve as you begin to untangle the web of root cause contributors to your disease process and optimize your terrain.
Disclaimer for Cancer Patients
I don’t consult on cancer treatment as I am not a licensed medical professional. I am a Functional Nutrition Consultant and Educator. My services are reserved for folks interested in working with me on nutrition and lifestyle changes to holistically recover their health, not treating anything specifically and treating everything non-specifically.
If you are looking for help with cancer treatment or are interested in alternative approaches to cancer treatment, I highly recommend seeking out a practitioner who has studied with my mentor in the space, Dr. Nasha Winters, ND, FABNO, and utilizes the Metabolic Approach to Cancer. You can find a full listing of Dr. Nasha-trained practitioners here.
You can find the protocol I personally used for my own treatment here. I do not divulge supplement doses as they were specific to me and my case and are not helpful to others. In my opinion, the best way to address a cancer diagnosis is by doing as much research as you can and building a robust team of both conventional and alternative practitioners that cover mind, body, heart, and soul.
Additional Resources I Can Offer:
Once you have decided on treatment with your team if you find that you would like to hire a coach to help you with your diet and nutrition to support that treatment, I would be happy to discuss working together.
