I have a holistic, and functional approach to patient care, with a focus on women's health, digestion, and intuitive eating.
In middle school pediatrician told me I was 'on the road to obesity' and recommended I join a weight loss program. I remember feeling so disgusted with myself - like such a failure... That was the beginning of my disordered eating, and over time it took it's toll on my health. By my second year away at college, I chronically sick, with throat infections, eye infections and sinus infections. I was always on antibiotics, and my digestion was a wreck. I felt chronically bloated and just uncomfortable in my skin.
It was around that time when I became really curious about what it meant to actually be healthy. I started taking nutrition courses, and spending my free time researching health and alternative medicine.
It took a long time for me to figure out what I needed to do for myself, and to heal my damaged relationship with food. But during the process I fell in love with learning - especially about the human body. I still love obsessively researching human health and nutrition. And I'm in awe of how amazing our bodies are, and how food can be so healing.
I currently live in Cincinnati, Ohio with my husband Brad and puppy Palmer. I run a private practice, Fostering Wellness, and I'm co-owner of Your Gut Besties (a company created with my best friend & dietitian, Tirzah).
I have a functional and practical approach to client care. After spending years working for others in both traditional and functional medicine roles, I've developed my own, what I would consider 'more balanced middle-of-the-road approach.' Sometimes functional labs are really useful but there can also be so much benefit from basic lifestyle interventions!
I mainly work with women struggling with hormonal imbalances like PCOS, and digestive health issues (like Inflammatory bowel conditions and IBS). These are my FAVORITE groups to work with because diet can be SO helpful for these patients.
I'd love for you to come work with me!
