Real Health. Real Life. Real Fun.

Health doesn’t have to be rigid or overwhelming—it should be achievable, empowering, and fun. Whether you’re navigating digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, chronic fatigue, or simply want to feel more vibrant and alive, I’m here to help with both science and heart.

I’m passionate about slow food, outdoor adventures, and creating meals that prove healthy eating can be deeply nourishing, satisfying and delicious. From the wild waters of Alaska to the heart of holistic wellness, my journey has taught me that health is our greatest adventure—and it would be my privilege to help guide you on yours with confidence, knowledge and joy!

Become the best version of yourself

 “I believe that true health is built on a foundational framework supporting a  dynamic, interconnected whole.  By addressing 8 principles, we can create that  solid foundation making it significantly easier to tackle deeper health concerns —and often resolve them automatically.  Continuing to support these foundations will naturally increase your potential for vitality and long-term wellbeing.”

Midlife Transitions


I work with my clients on the Cornerstones both separately and as part of larger health issues such as cardiovascular, immune, or hormonal concerns. However, my passion is supporting women who are navigating their Midlife Transition.

When Your Body Starts Speaking a Different Language

Something shifts in midlife, and suddenly the body you've known for decades feels foreign. You're not imagining it - there's real science behind what you're experiencing.

As your ovaries slow their hormone production, it creates a ripple effect throughout your entire system. Those hormones weren't just about reproduction - they were chemical messengers supporting your brain function, bone density, cardiovascular health, and even your skin's vitality.

The Perfect Storm of Change

This hormonal transition coincides with natural aging processes that affect every organ system. Your metabolism shifts. Extra weight shows up in different places. Your sleep patterns change. Your stress response intensifies. Your energy levels wane. Even your digestion can feel completely different. Meanwhile, you're still trying to use the same health strategies that have always worked - and wondering why they're failing you now.

You're Not Broken - You're Transitioning

What if instead of fighting against these changes, you learned to navigate them strategically?
