I have always enjoyed nutrition and helping people. From little on, I felt called to be a nurse. Upon graduating high school that is exactly what I did. I went to Luther College in Decorah, Iowa, and received my Bachelor of Arts in Nursing and became a registered nurse. I enjoy being a nurse and find it very rewarding to help others. But my story doesn’t stop there.
In 2013 I started experiencing personal health issues for which conventional medicine wasn’t finding the answers. Despite seeing multiple providers, taking a variety of medications and having traditional lab work done, I wasn’t getting, or feeling, any better. It wasn’t until finding functional medicine that I discovered I had Celiac disease along with other food sensitivities and cellular toxicity.
My personal health journey, combined with my love for nutrition and health, led me to pursue further education. As a result, in June of 2018 I completed a Master of Science in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine from the University of Western States in Portland, Oregon. Every day I continue to seek out and learn new information. Along with my nutrition degree, I have trained under Dr Daniel Pompa and am a Certified Toxicity & Detox Specialist. I believe addressing health at the cellular level is crucial to the overall well-being of the entire body. You need to fix the cell to get well!
With the knowledge and tools that my education has provided me, I have been able to treat the root causes of my health issues and to finally get better and feel better. I have learned first-hand what proper nutrition combined with cellular detox and other therapeutic therapies could do for my health. While it took time and effort, I have my health back, and I have eliminated all my symptoms and issues that conventional medicine could not fix.
Now, the desire to help others feel their best has become my passion. The power of proper, personalized nutrition combined with other wellness strategies is life-changing! Whether you are someone looking for general nutrition advice or someone with a long list of health issues, I am here for you. By working together, we can get you feeling your best.
