More Than a Practitioner—A Woman Who’s Been Through It, Too

Hey friend, I’m glad you’re here.

For most of my life, I didn’t think much about my health. I was young, ambitious, a wife and mom, always on the move. I assumed my body would keep up. Until the night it didn’t.

I ended up in the ER clutching my chest, convinced I was having a heart attack. The fear was suffocating. Doctor after doctor ran tests, but instead of answers, I got fragments. I was told it was “just stress,” handed surface-level fixes, and sent home. No one connected the dots. No one saw me as a whole person. This went on for months.

I felt invisible.

Then I found a naturopath. For the first time, someone listened. She didn’t reduce me to symptoms; she helped me heal root issues that had been ignored for years. Slowly, I regained my health — and with it, hope.

But just as I was stabilizing, I lost my mom. Her body had carried too many unresolved health issues for too long, and when illness came, she didn’t have the reserves to fight it off. It wasn’t just one thing that took her — it was many. Layer upon layer of preventable problems that no one had helped her untangle. Losing her carved something deep into me:

I couldn’t let her story become mine.

And I couldn’t ignore the pattern I kept seeing in other women, either. Moms who poured themselves out for everyone else — duct-taping themselves together, running on empty, holding on by a thread. That cycle of depletion became the fire under me:

I refuse to let women disappear under the weight of it all.

That’s why I shifted my entire life’s work. For a decade, I walked with women through birthwork, supporting them as a doula. That work is sacred, but my calling grew bigger. Because the truth is: as her health goes, so goes the health of her family. And if moms are the foundation of the family, their wellness is legacy work.

I became a naturopath. I’ve trained in postpartum nutrition, in monitrice care, in functional and holistic medicine, and nutrition. I stepped into this role because women deserve more than “you’re fine.”

You deserve real answers. You deserve to be seen as whole.

Now, as an Integrative Maternal & Women’s Health Practitioner, I guide women to restore health and build resilience from fertility to perimenopause. In this work, I carry the fear of wondering if I’d survive my own health crisis, the grief of losing my mom, and the conviction that no woman, that you, should ever feel invisible in your health journey.

This is my purpose: to stand in that gap, to see the whole of you, and to help you heal.
