Mission
I'm on a mission to help women feel good in their body and skin with balanced hormones.
Perimenopause can feel uncomfortable and disruptive. The gradual loss of period can feel like our womanhood is being taken away. This sense of loss is often compounded by loss of hair, skin firmness, mood swings and clothes that no longer fit.
​
By working along side of you, my goal is to help your hormones work for you not against you so that your body is not holding you back from living the life of your dreams.
Hormones are messengers. They help our organs communicate effectively to carry out vital functions. Sometimes because their messaging overlaps, it can make it hard to tease out which hormone is causing which symptom.
Yet we’re too quick to jump to blaming the hormones for our problems. We then attempt at manipulating the hormone signal while shutting down our own signaling. This may provide a temporary relief but symptoms keep coming back.
What if there’s another way? What if we can help the hormones become good messengers that work for us? This changes everything. Stop shooting the messengers. Let's help them do their job well!
Connection
Your body does not operate in isolation. Your skin problem is never just a skin problem. Your low mood is not just a hormonal problem.
Your skin is connected to your gut. Your gut is connected to your brain. Your hormones communicate with your brain and organs.
​
You may be feeling tired because you have a heavy period that's tanking your iron levels or you may have been overworked, under-nourished, staying up too late or you may have a sluggish thyroid slowing you down.
​
It takes a trained practitioner to ask smart questions that paint the full picture, run pertinent tests, curate a personalized treatment plan to restore health and refer out when necessary for complete healing to take place.
From microbiome to DNA, hormones and nutrients, I'm here to help decode your symptoms, find health solutions that will bring you clarity, confidence and joy of being you.
​
You deserve to feel well.
​
When you feel your best, you show up as your best - for yourself, your work, and people you care about.​​
Legacy
Women are powerful agents of change. Many are so tired of not being heard, living with symptoms that stop them from living life fully. I love working with these women who are ready to take charge of their health. Being both the guide and witness of their transformation has been an absolute joy.
​
By educating to increase awareness, creating personalized treatment plan, and leading by example, I hope to leave a legacy of health so that together we can raise the next generation of health-keepers.
