Naturopathic medicine is a whole-person approach to health that focuses on supporting the body’s natural ability to  heal and maintain balance. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, naturopathic medicine looks at the root causes of illness and considers how physical, mental, emotional, lifestyle, and environmental factors all influence health.

Naturopathic principles emphasize prevention, individualized care, and education. Treatment plans are tailored to each person and may include nutrition and food-as-medicine strategies, lifestyle changes, stress management, sleep optimization, movement, and evidence-based natural therapies.  The goal is not just to feel better temporarily, but to create sustainable, long-term wellness.

Naturopathic medicine works well on its own and can also complement conventional medical care. It empowers individuals to better understand their bodies, participate actively in their healing, and make informed choices that support overall vitality and resilience.

Functional medicine health coaching helps you understand why certain symptoms or health challenges may be showing up and supports you in making realistic, sustainable changes to improve your well-being. Rather than offering one-size-fits-all advice, coaching is personalized to your unique health history, goals, lifestyle, and current challenges.

As a functional medicine health coach, I help you connect the dots between nutrition, sleep, stress, movement, mindset, and environmental influences - and how they affect your health. Together, we break down complex recommendations into manageable steps, so change feels achievable instead of overwhelming.

Health coaching also provides accountability, encouragement, and emotional support along the way. You’re not navigating your health journey alone. Coaching empowers you to build skills, confidence, and habits that support long-term health, clarity, and resilience -meeting you where you are and moving forward at your pace.

Supporting brain health begins with understanding that cognitive decline is not an inevitable part of aging. Research, including the Bredesen Protocol, shows that the brain responds best to a personalized, multi-factor approach that addresses the many influences on cognitive health. This includes nourishing the brain with the right foods, balancing blood sugar, supporting sleep and stress resilience, encouraging regular movement, and reducing inflammation and toxin exposure. It also means identifying and addressing underlying contributors such as nutrient deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, chronic stress, and metabolic or immune challenges.

A functional medicine approach to brain health focuses on creating an environment where the brain can heal, adapt, and thrive. Small, consistent lifestyle changes-when tailored to your unique needs-can have a powerful impact over time.  With guidance and support, it’s possible to take proactive steps that protect memory, clarity, and cognitive resilience, now and for years to come.
