How It Works

I know reaching out can be the hardest part. That’s why I’ve made getting started as easy—and comforting—as possible.

1. Schedule a Free Consultation

It begins with a brief phone chat to learn a little about your needs and share how I may be able to help.

2. Begin a Partnership

If it is a good fit, I’ll schedule a comprehensive intake appointment. You’ll complete some forms and share your story.

3. Receive a Personalized Plan

I’ll design an evidence-based plan tailored specifically to your (or your child’s) individual needs.

4. Ongoing Support & Adjustments

Progress isn't always linear. Ongoing follow-up integrates patient feedback with clinical assessment to guide adjustments to the care plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Functional nutrition is a personalized approach that looks at how all systems in the body work together. Instead of treating just symptoms, I look for the root cause—like inflammation, gut imbalances, or nutrient deficiencies—and use food, lifestyle, and supplements to support healing.

  • Yes. In fact, the majority of my patients are children with PANS/PANDAS, Lyme, or related conditions. I always approach care with kindness, flexibility, and respect for each child’s unique needs.

  • Absolutely. I support adults with chronic conditions like Lyme disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, and long COVID. I’ll tailor everything to your age, symptoms, and goals—just like I do for children.

  • Your first full appointment is a deep-dive into your (or your child’s) story. I’ll review health history, current symptoms, lifestyle, and diet. You’ll leave with a starting plan that includes simple, practical steps and support to help you implement them.

  • Not necessarily. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all diets or unnecessary restriction. Some people benefit from removing certain foods temporarily, but I always explain the why and work with what’s realistic for your family. I focus on adding nourishing foods just as much as removing potential triggers.

  • Sometimes, yes, when a supplement may provide meaningful support. Any recommendation is based on your individual needs, and I’ll always explain the reasoning behind it. I don’t sell or receive any profit or compensation from supplement companies, ensuring that my guidance is completely unbiased and focused solely on your wellbeing.

  • Yes! I work with clients remotely. Virtual appointments are available via secure video conferencing.

  • I completely understand. This journey is often exhausting and confusing. My job is to help take some of that burden off of you. I’ll break everything down into small, manageable steps, and I’m always here to answer questions along the way. You’re not alone anymore.

  • The best way to begin is to schedule a free 15-minute consultation. I’ll listen to your story, answer any questions, and decide together if I’m a good fit.
