I am a Functional Medicine Nutritionist and Reiki Practitioner and my passion lies within helping you get to the root cause of your unexplained symptoms, chronic conditions and ultimately live a life full of balance and harmony. I’m most lit up when helping you transform through exploring the deep connections between the body, mind and soul.

 

Born and raised in NYC, I was fortunate to grow up understanding the power of natural healing and the profound impact that food has on the mind and body. My parents raised us with the value of alternative medicine and nutrient-dense, organic, whole foods. We treated illness with dietary changes and natural remedies - such as herbs, plant stem cells, and food as medicine. Tricks like putting garlic in my ear for an ear infection - it worked! I was always the girl with the “weird” (healthy) snacks. This upbringing inspired my curiosity and lifelong passion for holistic healing.

 

My studies began with an undergraduate degree in Food Studies and Nutrition at Syracuse University, where I explored the science of nutrition, food history and politics, and culinary arts. I then earned a Health Coach certification from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition, gaining expertise in dietary theories, mindfulness practices, and practical coaching techniques. Specializing in Gut Health, I focus on the gut-brain connection and how it influences mood, immunity, and overall wellness.

 

My work as a Health and Mindset Coach involved guiding clients in healthy eating, mindfulness, balanced diets, and overcoming disordered eating.Discovering Functional Medicine felt like finding my true path. I completed my Master's in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine at the University of Western States, focusing on the root causes of chronic diseases and health conditions. Functional Medicine bridges the science of food and the physical body with the vital role and impact of mental and emotional history. This root cause approach looks at the person as a whole, creating a truly integrative path to wellness.

 

Most recently, I have become a Reiki Practitioner, deepening my connection with the spiritual realm and energy that I am attuned to. This practice has allowed me to unite the physical and energetic elements of healing. Reiki has helped my clients release tension, restore balance, reduce stress and anxiety, and promote healing and overall well being.

 

In my practice, I focus on uncovering the root causes of health conditions and establish personalized and realistic habits for change that lasts. I consider aspects like diet, lifestyle, sleep, stress, family health history, and childhood traumas to address what is unique to your life. I offer support for digestive disorders, hormonal imbalances, chronic fatigue, and more. If you want to learn more, let's connect!
