Welcome to a space where understanding meets action in the pursuit of gut health and wellness. My journey into the heart of functional medicine began not in the classroom or the clinic, but through my own personal battle with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). After years of navigating a frustrating maze of tests and doctor’s visits with no relief, I felt defeated by the very system meant to heal me.

The turning point came when I encountered functional medicine, a field that resonated with my deepest beliefs about health and healing. It was through advanced laboratory tests within this discipline that I finally uncovered the underlying causes of my symptoms. This revelation was nothing short of a personal liberation, leading me to not only heal my gut but also to reclaim my life, symptom-free.

This profound experience transformed my purpose. I became certified in functional medicine through the Institute for Functional Medicine, driven by a singular goal: to serve others who, like me, are searching for answers and relief. My academic journey, which includes a Bachelor's degree in Nursing from UMass Boston and a Master's of Science from Albany Medical College, provided a solid foundation. However, it was my certification in functional medicine that truly equipped me to make a difference in the lives of those suffering from similar health issues.

Beyond my professional credentials, I am also a certified yoga instructor, embracing the holistic connection between mind, body, and spirit. My life is joyfully shared with my two sons, our two cats, and a loyal dog, in the beautiful and inspiring San Francisco Bay Area.

My transition from an IBS sufferer to a guide for others represents more than just a career; it's a calling. I am here to offer hope, to share knowledge, and to walk alongside you on your journey to wellness. Together, we can unlock the doors to a healthier, vibrant life, grounded in the understanding and treatment of the root causes of your health challenges.
