The first part of my career was spent as a Federal employee providing evidence-based nutrition information for public programs and policies; however, I have always had an interest in holistic and alternative health for my personal wellness. After leaving public service, I wanted to find a way to integrate both of these worlds. Functional Nutrition has allowed me to combine my education and experience in nutrition, while learning a new skill set that enhances individual health and wellness.

Functional Nutrition utilizes a science-based approach to address the underlying causes of symptoms and promote optimal wellness. I am an Institute of Restorative Health Practitioner (Master RHP) with a level 4 certification. This specialized training includes the topics of gastrointestinal healing, optomizing hormones, nutritional blood chemistry, nutrigenomics, biotoxins (mold/ mycotoxins, heavy metals, and chemicals), autoimmunity, neurological conditions and optimizing brain function.
