About Me
Salam, my beautiful friend! I’m happy you’re here.
​
I have a passion for guiding women in their journey to discover long-term solutions for their persistent symptoms by helping them identify and address the root cause of their condition.
My vitalistic approach to health considers the entire individual rather than just treating surface-level issues. Through diet alteration, lifestyle changes, and herbal supplements, I help my clients restore balance in their lives, naturally!
Let’s face it - we live in a fast-paced world. And, with busy schedules comes stress and anxiety. Many of the women I work with are experiencing burnout and other constant discomforts such as trouble sleeping, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), fatigue, autoimmune conditions, hormonal imbalances, and more.
However, a common thread among the women I work with is anxiety and constipation; what I consider to be the root of all evil! Once the nervous and digestive systems are out of balance, the whole body suffers. It’s my goal to work alongside each of my clients to transform old habits into ones that sustain a healthy lifestyle and bring a sense of vibrancy back to their lives.
My Story
Many of my clients often ask me why I've become passionate about herbalism and natural health. The truth is that I once suffered from many of the same ailments that the women I work with today are dealing with daily.
After years of struggling with deep-rooted anxiety, several digestive/hormonal issues, and several doctor visits with no answers or relief, I began to feel frustrated and disappointed in "modern healthcare". I realized that our healthcare system is designed to simply manage symptom/disease, and not really provide root-cause solutions.
​
Don't get me wrong, I think doctors are absolutely necessary - if I broke my leg or need emergency surgery I would want to be rushed to a hospital. But for my chronic conditions, I realized it always boils down to nutrition, lifestyle changes, and stress management.
To better navigate my health journey, I decided to go back to school to study functional nutrition and herbal medicine. I wanted to learn indigenous healing wisdom because I intuitively knew that the path to vibrant health is to eat more like how our ancestors did and move away from our modern highly processed foods which was making me sick. I became very curious and empowered about my healing journey and have embraced the art of slow and intentional living.
I want you to feel empowered, too! I want you to feel comfortable in your skin so you can pursue your passions in life. I will help you find solutions that will nourish your well-being so you can feel like yourself once again.
My Background
My in-depth experience with clinical research, paired with over a decade of expertise within the pharmaceutical, biotech, and western medical industries, has given me a strong foundation to incorporate scientific findings alongside the use of herbs and other natural ingredients.
By combining my scientific knowledge gleaned from my master’s degree in biology/immunology, working in the field, along with my studies of traditional healing modalities, I'm able to guide my clients on their unique road to holistic wellness.
I also incorporate Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) testing into all of my services. HTMA is a fascinating and informative functional test that looks at the levels of minerals in your body. It can give insight into how well your body is functioning and reacting to stresses, as well as nutritional deficiencies, metabolism rate, and toxins that can be causing symptoms of imbalances in the body.
Between the use of HTMA, my medical knowledge, and herbalism expertise, I work to identify the root cause of any issues you may be having. As part of my services, I craft holistic health plans tailored specifically to you to restore balance and harmony at the cellular level.
