About
My Story
People often ask me why I chose to become a Holistic Wellness Specialist. The truth is—this path chose me long before I knew what it was.
As a child, I struggled with frequent infections. Then, after a trauma at age 10, I began experiencing crippling anxiety—so intense that I sometimes wasn’t sure I’d see the next day. By my teenage years, I found myself in and out of specialists’ offices. By my early twenties, I had seen nearly every kind of “-ologist” you can imagine: cardiologists, rheumatologists, urologists, gynecologists, and more.
Each appointment ended the same way—either with no answers or with a vague label like “fibromyalgia” when nothing else fit. Over and over, I was told, “You look healthy.” But I didn’t feel healthy, and that disconnect was devastating.
By my mid-twenties, my health and anxiety became so overwhelming that I stopped driving and couldn’t be alone. That was my breaking point—and also the beginning of a new chapter. I decided that if no one else could help me, I would find the answers myself.
I dove into every book, class, and program I could find in the holistic and naturopathic world. Slowly, I began to heal. In time, I went from being unable to drive 10 miles alone… to taking a job that had me traveling across the country—by myself. That transformation fueled an unshakable passion to learn more and to help others find the same freedom. That passion increased my need for knowledge and I’ve completed an extensive number of advanced courses, certifications, and specialized programs in holistic wellness, functional medicine, naturopathic medicine, nutrition, energy healing, and mind-body integration — constantly expanding my knowledge so I can better serve my clients.
The next challenge came bout 8 years ago, after living in Florida, I began experiencing a new wave of health challenges—musculoskeletal pain, digestive issues, heart palpitations, increased allergies, and more. I performed a series of functional medicine tests and discovered significant mold toxicity and parasite overgrowth. Naturally, I tested my children as well. One had the same findings, while the other did not.
That experience became another powerful lesson. I began my own detective work to uncover why two of our bodies allowed these overgrowths while the third did not—and from there, I created a comprehensive plan for healing. It wasn’t a fast road to clear dysbiosis and restore balance, but through dedication, patience, and holistic support, we healed.
That journey deepened my passion for helping others uncover the true causes behind their symptoms. I’ve seen firsthand that with the right tools, information, and guidance, the body can heal when given the chance.
For the past 25 years, I have devoted thousands of hours to studying, taking advanced programs, practicing, and teaching holistic wellness. I know firsthand that there is hope. Taking matters into my own hands gave me back my life, and today, nothing brings me greater joy than watching others discover the “why” behind their symptoms and take steps that allow the body to heal itself.

FAQ’s
-
Functional medicine and wellness coaching are not currently covered by insurance. This means we are unable to submit claims, and reimbursement from your insurance provider will not be possible.
The upside is that we’re not restricted by insurance rules that limit visits to only a few minutes or dictate what can (and cannot) be addressed. Instead, we can take the time to:
Thoroughly review your health history and goals
Look at root causes rather than just managing symptoms
Personalize your plan with nutrition, lifestyle, lab testing, and targeted supplements
To keep costs manageable, we focus only on the most essential lab tests and a limited number of targeted supplements at any given time. You are able to use an HSA or FSA for supplements purchased through the Positive Shift Wellness Fullscript account.
This model allows us to give you more time, deeper attention, and more individualized care than you’d typically receive in a conventional insurance-based setting.
-
Coaching and wellness sessions can be done virtually, allowing me to support clients anywhere in the world. If you’re local to Southern Utah, you’re also welcome to schedule in-person sessions.
Coaching sessions are booked virtually by default, so you can connect from anywhere. If you’re local to Southern Utah and would like to meet in person, just send me a quick email after booking and we’ll make that change and meet in the office.
-
This complimentary 25-minute call helps us explore your health goals, current challenges, and see if my holistic approach aligns with your needs. It’s designed to give you clarity and direction before beginning a program. It is a no-pressure discovery call to explore fit and goals.
-
Once you book, you’ll receive a secure link to complete your intake form and upload any lab results or recent tests. The form is comprehensive and helps me see the full picture of your health. Please submit it at least 48 hours before your session, as I spend 1–2 hours reviewing it and making notes in advance.
-
No — lab testing and supplements are billed separately, as every plan is customized to your unique needs. I’ll provide personalized recommendations for which tests and supplements will best guide your healing, and we can adjust based on your budget and comfort level — whether you prefer to do everything at once or take a tiered, step-by-step approach.
-
Most functional lab kits are shipped directly to your home and can be easily completed using saliva, urine, or stool samples. Once finished, you’ll send them back to the lab using the pre-paid mailer included in your kit.
In some cases, a blood draw may be required. When that’s needed, I’ll help you locate a local lab or check for a mobile phlebotomy service in your area to make the process as convenient as possible.
When your results are ready, they’re sent to me for review and interpretation. I’ll analyze your markers through a functional lens—looking at optimal ranges and connections between body systems—and then we’ll schedule a follow-up session to review your results in detail and create a personalized plan for next steps, including nutrition, lifestyle, and supplement support.
-
If you’re new to holistic wellness, start with the Free Introductory Call or Wellness Insight Session to get clarity and direction.
If you already have lab results, the Interpretation & Wellness Strategy Session is ideal for turning data into actionable steps.
For deeper, guided support, the 3-Month Personalized Blueprint or 6-Month Integrative Blueprint provide a structured path toward lasting balance.During your first session, we’ll discuss your current health picture, healing opportunities, and goals to determine what type of plan or structure best fits your needs. Every client’s journey is unique — and sometimes we’ll design a completely customized package that differs from what’s listed on the website. Each plan is built around your priorities, preferences, and pace, ensuring your wellness experience feels both personal and achievable.
-
Every person’s healing timeline is unique, as it depends on your individual health history, current imbalances, and how consistently the plan is followed. Most clients begin to notice improvements in energy, digestion, mood, and sleep within the first several weeks of consistent support.
The 3-Month Personalized Blueprint and 6-Month Integrative Blueprint programs are designed to create measurable change and give your body the time it needs to restore balance naturally.
While I’ll provide clear guidance, accountability, and ongoing adjustments, results cannot be guaranteed, as outcomes depend on your level of participation, consistency, and adherence to the recommended plan. Your results — and how quickly you experience them — are truly in your hands, and I’ll be here to support and guide you every step of the way.
-
Please provide at least 24 hours’ notice if you’re unable to keep your scheduled appointment so the time can be offered to another client. Late cancellations or missed appointments may result in a rescheduling fee.
-
Yes! I offer gentle, family-friendly approaches for children and teens — focusing on gut health, mood balance, nervous-system regulation, and natural support for stress, focus, and energy.
All children’s wellness plans are extremely conservative and progress very slowly, ensuring that each recommendation supports their system safely and effectively. I always consider sensitivities, developmental needs, and comfort level when designing their plan. The goal is to gently encourage balance while supporting long-term wellness from an early age.
