I am a board-certified nurse practitioner, certified functional medicine practitioner, educator, and author. I have been a nurse for more than 30 years, including 17 years spent in integrative/alternative medical settings.
In 1999 I was hired as the Head Nurse at Preventive Medicine Group in Westlake. Working under Dr. James Frackelton, Dr. Derrick Lonsdale, Dr. Helen Kwon, and Dr. Stan Gardner, I educated patients on lifestyle medicine, detoxification, and bioidentical hormones.
As a child, I had stomach aches every day from age 2 to 28 after my morning bowl of cereal and milk. It was something I tolerated and doctors didn't have any suggestions. I also had allergies and hay fever from age 4 and up. This lead to asthma and environmental allergies in my 20's. I then developed hormonal imbalance and eventually autoimmunity. I finally made lifestyle changes which had a major improvement in my health. This included dietary changes, skin care products, household cleaning supplies, and more. My environmental allergies and asthma resolved! Further lifestyle adjustments helped improve my hormonal imbalance and reversed my autoimmunity.
I have studied nutrition and root cause of illness extensively. I have seen firsthand how lifestyle changes have improved patients’ health, my health and that of my family. This led me to research and publish my first book on Women's Health. I believe the body can heal itself when given the right nutrients and environment.
I am eager to guide you in your journey to wellness and disease prevention through nutrition, physical activity, stress management, nutraceuticals, and more.
I enjoy spending time with my family, cooking, reading, traveling, and ballroom dancing.
