About
I help women with hormone imbalance — from cycle chaos and thyroid struggles to perimenopause and a frazzled nervous system — stop feeling dismissed and start feeling like themselves again. This is the work I was meant to do — and here's how I found my way to it.
My story
For the past decade, I've practiced functional medicine with women — focused on fertility, hormones, thyroid, gut health, the nervous system, and the perimenopause years. The twenty years of chiropractic care that came before taught me the principle that's stayed at the heart of everything I do: when the body has the right foundations, it works the way it's meant to.
But my own hormone story started long before I ever treated anyone. For more than twenty years, I had heavy, painful periods — flooding, clotting, the kind you plan your whole life around. It was undiagnosed endometriosis, and no one connected the dots. That led to years of so-called "unexplained" infertility, polyps that kept growing and being removed, and IVF.
Everything changed when I stepped into the preconception and hormone world and learned how to truly support a woman's body. The heavy periods, the clots, the growths — they resolved. And I got pregnant on my own, naturally.
I started my family later in life: my twins at 37, my last baby at 41. Four children within five years — and the kind of exhaustion only a mother of four little ones knows. That experience is what carried me into years of fertility and preconception work with other women.
What I didn't expect was that the same belief would have to come back and save me.
Decades of hormone imbalance, and a body depleted by four babies in five years, set the stage for how hard perimenopause would hit. A few years after I weaned my fourth, my body fell apart. The fatigue was so bad I'd lie down at noon just to convince myself I could make it through school pickup. Weight came on the way it never had before. There was a body anxiety underneath everything I couldn't shake. And then the scary one — allergic responses, my throat closing, MCAS reactions every time my hormones shifted.
Every practitioner I went to said the same three things. It's stress. Your labs are normal. Keep an eye on it.
So I did what I'd been teaching my patients to do for two decades. I went to the root. I studied my way through everything the conventional model wasn't looking at — hormones, nervous system, metabolism, gut, mast cells. And I rebuilt my own body from the foundations up. The framework that came out of that work is what I now call The Restore Method™ — and it's the same path I walk with every woman who finds me.
This is the work I was meant to do. I just didn't know I'd have to walk it myself first.

Outside the practice
Home is Colorado, and most days you'll find me outside with my kids — hiking, walking, chasing whatever adventure they've talked us into next. They are my whole heart, and being their mom is what makes this work feel like a calling, not a job. Add the beach when we can get there, a yoga mat, a workout, sometimes singing — and taking care of my body stopped being a chore long ago. It's just how I live now.
The thread underneath all of it is community. The women I work with, the women I learn from, the women I get to inspire — they're the reason this work feels like the right shape for me. I'm not asking my clients to do anything I'm not doing in my own life. That's the whole point.
