I’m passionate about helping women find hormonal balance, whole health, and feel vibrant.

I've spent my entire career serving women.  I've seen the struggles and the transformations, the defeats and the triumphs. As an infertility nurse, I saw women feeling their bodies had betrayed them.  As a nurse midwife in the birth center setting, I witnessed women finding their power and believing and trusting their bodies.  As a nurse midwife in the conventional medicine setting (hospitals and clinics), I've seen the system save women and also let women down.

As a patient myself, I experienced all aspects of women's health struggles including heavy periods, hormonal migraines, premature ovarian failure, infertility and premature menopause.   I found little to no support for all of these issues.  These experiences only fueled my passion to help other women navigate all aspects of female issues in all stages of life.  I no longer want statements like "it's just the aging process" or "you can start the birth control pill to help your bleeding" to be the options for women.  I believe in truly listening and walking the path with women to find out why they have their symptoms and how they can help themselves to heal.  It's time for women to know more about themselves and their bodies.

I believe in science and I believe in ancient wisdom.  I believe it's time for a Revolution for Women.

I’M ALL ABOUT:

Real food, real people, authentic conversations, growth, no B.S. lifestyles, yoga pants, sunsets, tacos, real connection.


I’M NOT ABOUT:

Trying to find the “magic” pill/relationship/situation, doggin’ on other women about ANYTHING, fake meat, fake conversations, smelly things. 


YOU CAN FIND ME:

Riding my bike, painting, meditating, researching, doing yoga, connecting with my tribe of badass women,  learning Spanish, curling up with one of my loves (children + my man) to watch a movie, reading and traveling!
