Are you feeling too tired to function? Struggling with frustrating digestive symptoms like bloating, constipation, or gas? Crashing at 2pm and relying on coffee to get through your day? So moody that you feel like a bad mother?
This is your sign, mama! I’m here to help.
Nutritional therapy was my answer to all these symptoms and I believe you were meant to be here so that I can help you feel better. My bioindividual approach gets to the root cause of your symptoms so that my recommendations can help support your body’s natural function.
nutritional therapy services
THERE ARE CURRENTLY THREE WAYS TO WORK WITH ME
root cause nutritional therapy
MY MOST POPULAR (& MOST EFFECTIVE) OFFERING
Many of my mamas suffer with symptoms like fatigue, moodiness, digestive discomforts, brain fog, and so much more. Does this sound like you? If so, you would likely benefit from nutritional therapy, even if you eat and live with health in mind.
With this service, we meet twice per month to find the root cause of your frustrating symptoms and support your body so you feel better than ever. Your time with me is tailored to your specific needs, keeping in mind that your body, habits, and season of life create a situation that is completely unique to you. No copy and paste protocols here!
This service is billed on a month-to-month basis; no contracts or minimum requirements, other than finishing out any months you've paid for. Most women find benefit from work together for 4-6 months, some one year or longer, but our time together is up to you.
what is included with root cause nutritional therapy?
Here is the full breakdown of what I offer in my 1:1 nutritional therapy services.
- One 90-minute initial consultation (month one) – We will discuss your story and review your Initial Intake Questionnaire so that I can gain a clearer picture of your health needs through a candid discussion with you. I will also give you a few actionable recommendations that are tailored to your bioindividual needs.
- One 60-minute visit every month (months 2+) – We will review your progress using a new round of questionnaires so we can deep dive into the updates you’ve made to your routine, choices, and habits, as well as any new or lingering symptoms. I will also provide you with updated actionable recommendations to keep you moving forward.
- One 30-minute follow-up visit every month – We will have a candid chat to follow up with how you’re feeling, anything you’re struggling with, questions you may have, etc. This is a great time to tweak any of the recommendations you received during your previous visit.
- One 30-minute final wrap-up visit – When you’re ready to end our work together, we will have a wrap-up call to discuss your progress and any future steps you may want to take to continue on your health journey.
- Nutritional Assessment Questionnaire (NAQ) – A 320-question symptom burden report that gives me a comprehensive picture of your health to allow me to determine the root cause of your symptoms. You will be asked to fill one out at each long visit and your final wrap-up visit to compare to your initial chart so we can review your progress.
- Food & Lifestyle Journal review – A 5-day online journal where you will show me a snapshot of your meals, routine, habits, and symptoms in realtime. You will be asked to complete one at each long visit.
- Actionable food, lifestyle, and supplement recommendations every month – We will make small steps toward your larger goals to ensure you feel supported and not overwhelmed.
- Exclusive discounts on my preferred high-quality supplements – Real Mushrooms, Ancestral Supplements, DesBio homeopathic, Biocidin Botanicals, and more.
- 15% off at my professional-grade supplement dispensary (forever) – Many of your favorite supplements are probably already in here!
- One complimentary HTMA every four months – As long as we're working together actively, I will send you an HTMA kit every four months so we can keep your mineral levels in mind. Once we stop working together, I will offer you a discount on an HTMA single session as often as you'd like.
- Access to a variety of lab tests (billed separately) – If additional testing would be helpful in determining your root cause, you will have the opportunity to access testing ordered through me.
- Unlimited messaging opportunities each week
- Access to bioindividual education resources
- Opportunity to add additional sessions if needed (billed separately)
what does it look like to work together continuously?
OUR FIRST VISIT: your story + my nurturing guidance
Our initial consultation will be a detailed 90-minute visit where I will get to know you by listening to your story. Most of this appointment will feel like a chat between girlfriends as we talk about what you’ve been through and where you want to go. We will also go over the intake form you completed prior to your visit so that I can learn more about your health history and current lifestyle. You will leave the appointment with a few actionable ways to start down the path toward meeting your goals.
Two weeks after our initial appointment we will book an hour to check in via text message to discuss how things are going, where you’re feeling challenged, and how I can continue to support you through this first month. After this visit, I will send you a detailed 321-question symptom questionnaire and access to your journal to track your food and lifestyle habits for four full days.
MONTH TWO: finding your root cause + focusing on your goals
We will meet for another long visit, this time 60 minutes, in which we will dive into your submitted symptom questionnaire and 4-day journal so we can find your root cause using real data. This will also allow us a fresh conversation about how you’re feeling and where you might be soaring or struggling. The dialog is always open, friendly, and never judgmental, because I have been where you are and I understand your needs. You will leave our call with a new or revised protocol to continue toward your goals.
Just like our first month together, we will book an hour to check in via text message two weeks after the long appointment. We will discuss how you’re feeling and anything that might be coming up for you during your work. This is a great time to chat through mental struggles, ask specific questions, or get more resources for meeting your challenges head on.
MONTH THREE + BEYOND: meeting your goals + dancing toward relief
Each month we will meet twice to ensure you are feeling nurtured, supported, and comfortable with the progress toward your goals. You will also have access to me via text message or email for those emergency questions that can’t wait until our next video call.
Months three and beyond will look a lot like month two with a 60-minute appointment and an updated symptom questionnaire and journal to measure your progress, followed by an hour check-in via text message after two weeks. We work at your pace, never faster than is comfortable to you, and with your goals in mind every step of the way.

htma testing & analysis
MINERAL IMBALANCES ARE VERY COMMON AMONG MOTHERS
Did you know that each full-term pregnancy takes 10% of your minerals? Add breastfeeding to that and your body is depleted, mama! Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) tests a small sample of the hair from your scalp for mineral deficiencies and imbalances.
I will spend time analyzing your test results along with your health history and habits so I can figure out exactly where and how your body needs to be supported. I take a "food first" approach to nutrition, meaning lots of yummy things to eat and very few supplements. We will also focus on lifestyle changes and, most important of all, stress management.
HTMA is included in my root cause nutritional therapy offering above. If that doesn't feel like the right fit, I also offer single-session HTMAs with a one-time chat and a full nutrition and lifestyle protocol you can work on at your own pace.
what is included with an htma single session?
Here is the full breakdown of what I offer with each HTMA Single Session.
- One HTMA sample kit sent directly to your home – you will send it to the lab once your sample has been taken
- A PDF of your lab results
- A PDF of your professional analysis, including a detailed protocol you can follow at your own pace
- A 45-60 minute video detailing your analysis and protocol
- The opportunity to ask questions in a 15-minute video call or via email at your preference
- Discounted future HTMAs if you stick to my test schedule
- 15% off targeted supplements if you purchase through my online dispensary
how much does an htma cost?
HTMA Single Sessions are $225. This includes everything in the dropdown above.
If you purchase my Root Cause Nutritional Therapy service, you will receive one complimentary HTMA every four months for as long as we are actively working together.
(Prices for new clients are subject to change without notice. Existing clients are grandfathered into my pricing for the length of our work together.)

when should i take an htma around my pregnancy?
Pregnancy and postpartum are a season of intense mineral depletion due to stress, diet and sleeping changes, and baby growing and feeding a lot. Because of this demand on minerals, I like to have my mamas on a more intensive HTMA schedule than during other times of life.
Here's when I typically like to run HTMAs on my mama clients:
If you can only choose one time to test, I recommend going with the HTMA at 6 weeks postpartum. If you can choose two, I recommend the test at 28-30 weeks and again at 6 weeks postpartum.
If you're currently planning to become pregnant, I also highly recommend the preconception test for you, and if your partner can take one as well that's even better.
Here's when I typically like to run HTMAs on my mama clients:
- Preconception (if possible)
- End of first trimester (12-14 weeks)
- Start of third trimester (28-30 weeks)
- Newly postpartum (6 weeks)
- After the fourth trimester (4 months)
- Then every 4-6 months until baby is one or the body is rebalanced
If you can only choose one time to test, I recommend going with the HTMA at 6 weeks postpartum. If you can choose two, I recommend the test at 28-30 weeks and again at 6 weeks postpartum.

power hour chat
WANT TO PICK MY BRAIN FOR AN HOUR? LET'S DO IT!
There are some seasons where you feel like you're already on to something but speaking with a professional can help you either solidify your path or readjust before moving forward. This is your chance to do just that.
Meet with me for an hour-long chat about anything related to nutrition, weird or frustrating symptoms, lifestyle changes, stress management, supplements, pregnancy or birth, your new baby, or something else. I'm happy to brainstorm with you or simply give you perspective.
Before we meet, I will have you fill out a short form giving me a bit of insight on our conversation so I can prepare if necessary. If there's a question I'm not able to answer during our hour, I will make note of it and send you an email afterward with more information.
what can we talk about in a power hour chat?
Let's start with what we can't talk about:
I am not a doctor or a nurse. I can't give you medical advice, tell you how to get off a medication, or prescribe anything for your symptoms. I can't act as your primary health professional or an OBGYN. I can't diagnose or treat any conditions. We can touch on these things, but I'm not legally able to give you guidance from the perspective of a healthcare provider.
I will not look at lab results or give you detailed protocols for managing symptoms or root causes. If this is what you're looking for, you are better suited for my Root Cause Nutritional Therapy service or HTMA Single Session, both detailed above.
Here's what we can talk about:
Health and symptom management from a naturally-minded, holistic perspective. Nutrition, exercise, and managing stressors. Motherhood, pregnancy, birth, conceiving, or your new baby. Symptoms that you're struggling to connect to a root cause. My perspective on an acute health condition that you're trying to manage, and I can tell you how I or someone I have worked with has managed it in the past. Brainstorming potentially beneficial healthy lifestyle changes or talking through ones you've seen online that might be good (or not so good) for you specifically.
I'm also great as a loving ear if you're needing someone to talk with. Think of me as a friend who can give you good advice and isn't afraid to tell you the truth.

frequently asked questions
LEARN MORE ABOUT HOW I WORK WITH CLIENTS
do you offer testing other than htma?
I have decided to specialize in HTMA for two main reasons, but I am able to offer other testing options if required.
Why do I only work with HTMA? For the vast majority of my clients (95% or more) HTMA is all that is needed to see big changes. The hair holds the key to many different body systems and their level of dysfunction, so starting with the hair is always recommended. Furthermore, specializing in HTMA allows me to go all-in on my analysis and really dive deep vs staying shallow with multiple test sources. If your HTMA shows me that you need further testing, you can opt to work with me as I go through my testing provider for your test and analysis, or I can refer you to a trusted colleague.

how long will we work together?
THE LONG STORY: This is totally dependent on your needs, goals, personal health challenges, and mindset. If you have been depleted for a long time or you're not fully ready to commit to change, it will take longer to get to your destination. If you commit and buckle down, it likely won’t take as long.
Things that can get in the way include how strongly you’re stuck in your current habits, childhood or past traumas that may resurface, and your support network, including family and friends. We will work through any challenges that come up together so that you feel supported in working through them. If I cannot help you with a specific challenge, I have lots of tools in my belt, like books and referrals to other practitioners, that can keep your snowball rolling.
THE SHORT STORY: Most of my clients will see solid results when working together for at least four months, or sometimes one year or longer.

what is nutritional therapy?
Nutritional therapy is more like therapy and less like working with a dietician. We will focus on you – your needs, your goals, your challenges, and your desires. You run the show with my guidance and love, but I will never require you to do anything you’re not comfortable with.
I tend to dive deep into things like nervous system rebalancing, limiting beliefs, traumas that resurface during physical healing, your stress coping mechanisms, and of course your diet and lifestyle habits.

who do you work with and what does that look like?
My specialization is helping mothers in all stages of motherhood; preconception, pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond. We will work together to find the root cause of the frustrating symptoms that are negatively impacting your motherhood experience. This can look different for every mama, but typically includes fatigue or low energy, mood swings, brain fog, digestive issues, diagnosed hormone imbalances, difficulty conceiving, and more.
The three pillars of my practice are:

- Nourishing holistically
- Rebalancing minerals

is nutritional therapy right for me?
It's really hard to say, but likely yes. Let’s chat about it in a free discovery call! We will spend about 20 minutes together talking over your symptoms, challenges, goals, and what it looks like to work with me. This will allow us to get to know each other and see if we are the right fit for working together.

will i have to buy a bunch of supplements?
That’s definitely not the goal here. Nutritional therapy is more about finding diet and lifestyle changes that will best impact your nutritional status, not packing you full of supplements as a band-aid fix. One should not need to sustain life on supplements!
There is a chance, however, that a few (or less) key supplements will be recommended, at least during our initial few visits. This can help you see results more quickly or get over a hump that you’re struggling with. Purchasing supplements is never required, though. It’s totally up to you.
If you do decide to purchase recommended supplements, I offer my clients a generous discount through my Fullscript dispensary and varied discounts through my partnerships with trusted brands. You are welcome to purchase what I recommend, as well as anything you use already, at a discount.

do you work with men or children?
At this time I am only working with mothers and women of childbearing age. If you would like a referral to a practitioner that better meets your needs, please send me an email and I will do my best to refer you to a loving practitioner.
do you work with vegans or vegetarians?
If you are committed to maintaining your diet without meat and other animal products, we are not a good fit. I believe that we are designed to eat animals and my approach uses the nutrients in animal foods to support your body’s natural healing process in the most efficient way possible.
If you would like support in adding animal products back into your diet, I would love to work with you. As a former vegan of over 10 years, I am well-versed in transitioning away from an herbivorous diet back into an omnivorous diet.
