Real health isn't just the absence of symptoms. It's having the energy to show up for your life, feeling like yourself in your own body, and knowing how to support your health for the long term.
When someone comes to work with me, I'm not only going to look at your pain point. I'm going to look at who you are, what makes you who you are, how you got to where you are, and what's contributing today. Every external influence affecting your internal world. That's where real answers start.
Sessions are conducted virtually by phone or via video conferencing (Zoom, Google Meet, etc.)

Real change takes time, and I want to be honest with you about that from the start. Health challenges don't develop overnight, and lasting improvement rarely happens in a single session. Most clients complete a minimum of three sessions, and some continue working together over months or years as their health needs evolve.
Every session is built around your full story. There are no generic protocols here, no one-size-fits-all plans. We look at the whole picture, identify where to begin, and build an approach that is specific to you as a bio-individual.
My goal is to equip you with the knowledge and tools to understand your body and advocate for your health, not just while we are working together but over the long term.

Comprehensive Initial Consultation (60 minutes)
We start with a deep dive into your health story. Using a 303-point symptom analysis called the Nutrition Assessment Questionnaire (NAQ), we'll uncover potential imbalances that conventional approaches might have missed. This session forms the foundation of your personalized wellness blueprint.
Your Customized Wellness Blueprint
Based on our initial consultation, you'll receive a tailored wellness plan. This isn't a one-size-fits-all diet—it's a comprehensive strategy including nutrition, supplement, and lifestyle recommendations, all designed to work synergistically with your unique body.
Follow-Up Sessions (30 or 60 minutes each)
Creating lasting change is an ongoing process, and I'm here to support you throughout. These follow-up sessions are where we fine-tune your personalized wellness protocol as we see how your body responds. We'll address any challenges or obstacles you encounter along the way, while expanding your understanding of your body's unique needs and responses. Think of these sessions as your dedicated time to ask questions, gain insights, and build the skills you need to become the expert on your own health. My role is to guide, educate, and empower you as you implement and adapt your wellness plan.
Continuous Support
Improving your health is a continuous process that extends beyond our scheduled sessions. As you implement changes in your daily life, questions and situations inevitably arise, and timely support can make all the difference. That's why I offer unlimited email access between our appointments. Whether you're celebrating a small victory, facing an unexpected challenge, or simply need clarification on your plan, I'm here to provide prompt guidance and consistent support.

The graph above shows two sets of results of the Nutritional Assessment Questionnaire (NAQ). The red bars indicate initial symptom severity. The green bars indicate symptom severity after three months of nutritional therapy.
As part of your personalized journey, we'll use a powerful tool called Nutri-Q. This software helps us better understand your unique health needs by organizing detailed information you provide in a questionnaire called the Nutritional Assessment Questionnaire (NAQ).
The NAQ consists of hundreds of qualifying questions that cover various aspects of your current state of health. Once you complete it, Nutri-Q generates a Symptom Burden Graph, which visually represents the areas where your body may need the most support. The graph helps pinpoint specific foundations of health—such as your Nutrient-Dense Diet, Digestion, Blood Sugar Regulation, Sleep, and Stress Management—that may be affecting your well-being.
Additionally, the graph highlights how these foundational aspects are impacting different body systems, such as your Cardiovascular, Endocrine, Immune, Nervous, and Digestive systems, among others. Based on the results, I will work with you to develop a customized plan that focuses on addressing these foundational needs, helping your body restore balance and function optimally.
During our sessions, we will use the insights from the Symptom Burden Graph to guide recommendations, monitor progress, and ensure that the support you’re receiving is aligned with your bio-individual needs. It's a dynamic, ongoing process to help you achieve your health goals and feel your best.
