I am a Registered Nurse and have cared for sick patients in hospitals, clinics, and at home for many years.  I understand disease, symptoms, and traditional medical management.  I have always been fascinated with nutrition and healthy living, so when I was introduced to the practice of Functional Medicine and the idea that “Food is Medicine,” I became hooked.  I learned how food can turn on and off certain genes and actually can heal patients that have been suffering for years. I was fortunate enough to train with the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy associated with the Institute of Functional Medicine at the Cleveland Clinic.  After graduating and working successfully with clients, I realized that helping people become healthy is truly my passion.  I love connecting with people and become energized every time I have a session with a client and have an opportunity to help them feel better.
