Ways to begin

What would feel
useful right now?

My approach begins with your story and the foundations of health: nourishment, sleep, movement, your environment, and the demands of everyday life. There are several ways into this work, depending on the kind of support you are looking for.

01 · Private care

A deeper look
at your health.

For women seeking individual care around changing hormones, energy, digestion, healthy aging, or the physical experience of grief.

My full clinical intake brings your history, existing labs, medications, and daily life into one conversation. We begin with the foundations, then consider the testing and support that have a clear purpose for you.

I am not currently accepting new individual patients. You are welcome to join the waitlist.

02 · Educational lab consultation

Make sense
of your results.

Have a lab report and wish someone would walk you through it? This focused educational conversation brings a naturopathic and functional medicine perspective to the results you already have, including Function Health reports.

Explore what your biomarkers measure, how related results fit together, and the difference between established clinical targets and proposed optimal ranges. The aim is a clearer understanding of your results and the questions to bring to your treating clinician.

Separate from clinical care. Scope, availability, and fee are confirmed before booking.

03 · Courses & education

Begin in
your own time.

Start with The Foundations, my free course with 16 audio lessons and 14 companion guides. Come back to the everyday practices that support your health, at a pace that fits your life.

For a deeper understanding of perimenopause and menopause, explore Rhea Teachings, created with Dr. Kristi Harter. Courses, protocols, lab education, and practical rituals bring the changing female body into focus.

04 · Grief Medicine

For the body
carrying the loss.

I came to this work as a physician and a widow. Grief Medicine makes room for the physical experience of loss and the everyday care that can become difficult when your life has changed.

Begin with my guides and reflections on sleep, nourishment, daily rhythms, and life after the loss of a partner. Read what feels useful, whenever you are ready.

Resources to explore now. Individual care remains through the waitlist.
