What to expect - 

What your journey with me will look like depends on where you're starting. I always meet my clients where they're at. This sometimes means starting with gentle foundational changes, if you're father along in your journey we may take a more intensive approach.

​Examples of what your plan may include:

• Step-by-step guidance through therapeutic diets (used only when needed and always time-limited)
• Recipes, meal planning tools, and practical guidance to help you implement changes without overwhelm
• Tips for eating out, navigating flares, traveling, and managing changes on a budget to help you keep up your progress without having to put life on hold
• Targeted supplement recommendations so you know exactly what to take, why, and when, stop guessing and overspending
• Testing when appropriate by collaborating with qualified practitioners to gather deeper insight when dietary strategies alone aren’t enough​
• Environmental modifications to reduce toxic burden and lower systemic inflammation (patient population specific, ex. endometriosis)
• Stress and nervous system support to calm flare-ups and improve symptom regulation
• Exercise recommendations tailored to your condition (I have a personal training background)

Improvements many of my gut health clients experience
