Hello! Nice to meet you.

I know firsthand that health and happiness go hand-in-hand. I’ve learned it’s hard to be in love with life and be your best self when you’re feeling sick all the time.

I’ve lived with chronic health conditions since childhood. After years of pain and hopelessness, I sought out the “alternative” medicine that finally healed me. In awe of the success of holistic medicine in my life and in order to gain the tools to continue healing, I career-switched to medicine.

As a naturopathic doctor, I went on to study brain rewiring and nervous system regulation, energetic healing, muscle testing, and shamanic medicine. I now integrate my medical training as a naturopathic physician, my personal experience with chronic complex illness, and my passion for soul-level energetic healing.

I’m now honored to share…

the holistic perspective that changed my life, and to help those who were in my shoes 15+ years ago. Having navigated the medical system as both a patient and as a practitioner, my compassion for those I work with has only increased. I look at all areas of health—physical, mental, psychosocial, emotional, and spiritual—and meet you where you’re at on your health journey. I don’t use an algorithm approach; I know from personal experience that those health approaches don’t work. Instead, I use a root-cause, individualized approach that works for YOU.

I’m not your typical holistic health guide…

My expertise goes far beyond that of your typical coach, who might get you feeling a little better but won’t sort out what’s really going on at the deepest cellular level. I have combined my almost 20 years of personal experience with chronic illness, my clinical experience and professional education as a naturopathic doctor, and my additional trainings in cutting-edge complex illness therapies and spiritual/energetic medicine to be the person who can help you.

I don’t use a typical functional medicine approach, and I don’t even use a typical mind-body approach… I mix and match tools to create the most effective, streamlined approach for chronic illness recovery, and I add an additional focus on rejuvenating the soul!

I’m not your typical naturopathic or functional doctor either...

I studied holistic medicine for four years at the National University of National Medicine, a medical school in Oregon, completing clinical rotations and licensure exams to become a board-certified naturopathic physician.

I chose outside-the-box mentors who used unique combinations of functional medicine, herbal medicine, Chinese medicine, and energetic medicine. Throughout my entire time as a medical student, I went to shamans, energy healers, acupuncturists, muscle testers, NET and NAET practitioners, and more.

Once in practice, I worked in a cutting-edge chronic illness clinic treating patients who hadn’t found answers at Mayo, Stanford or Cleveland Clinic. I received specialized mentorship and additional training in the intricate root causes of autoimmunity, anxiety and depression, Lyme, mold toxicity, viral long-haul, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, chronic EBV, POTS, mystery illness, and more—all information we didn’t even learn in naturopathic school!

I’ve lived in the Midwest, the West Coast, and abroad—but my favorite place to call home is Northwest Arkansas.

When my husband and I aren’t outdoors or at the lake, you can find me reading, writing, or spending quality time with all my favorite people!
