A registered nurse with 28 years of acute care experience – who found my true calling helping others heal naturally. Nine years ago, I began exploring natural and functional medicine, dabbled in it, but never fully committed. My journey took a turn a couple years ago when—despite 18 months of solid “clean” eating and daily exercise—I was riddled with injuries that weren’t healing and diagnosed with prediabetes. Despite my good efforts and knowledge, I was on the chronic disease train. However, I’m blessed to have a functional medicine practitioner sis-in-law, and with a little help from her, I got off the train! Recognizing wellness isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach, I began focusing on truly nourishing and supporting my body to enable it to do the amazing healing it’s designed to do, ultimately rediscovering my vitality. That experience (and the prodding of my sis-in-law😊)  inspired me to make functional health not only my passion, but my day job. I have since become a board-certified Functional Medicine Nurse Specialist and launched Live So Well to support you on your own healing path. With my nursing expertise and a heart full of understanding and compassion, I’m here to help you overcome health challenges and live with renewed energy and joy. Let’s nurture your health together—I can’t wait to see you thrive!
