I grew up on a family dairy farm here in Wooster, Ohio, loving the outdoors and nature.

It was a natural fit for me to study science, and enter into a career of research on nutritional and pharmaceutical products, managing global clinical trials. The work was meaningful and challenging, but I’ve since left the clinical research field for my real passion - applying my love of investigating and leaving no stone unturned to helping people achieve wellness.

Part of my own journey came through an unexpected health crisis a number of years ago. After a night of intense abdominal pain, an ER doctor told me that I had intestinal nonrotation and needed emergency surgery.

Looking back, I had missed, downplayed and explained away signs from my body that things weren’t quite right. In part because of this event, alongside my love of digging in and learning, I was pulled back to school. This time, though, to education with a functional, root cause approach through the Institute of Restorative Health (featured at Seeking Whole Health conference Spring of 2025).

I now work with people 1:1, unraveling all of the nutrition information out there, figuring out food choices, designing personalized supplement protocols of products that work together effectively and efficiently (no more expensive supplement graveyards!). All strategically planned to unleash their own God-given capacity to heal even long-standing issues, one step at a time. It is exciting and even fun to help people have breakthroughs in their health.

I have a Master of Science in Medical Dietetics, am a Registered and Licensed Dietitian in the state of Ohio, and am a Restorative Wellness Practitioner, certified in Gastro-Intestinal Healing, and Hormone Balancing.

My personal passion is to create a solid foundation in your body, helping you to thrive. After all, you can’t get much out of even the best of food if your body is inflamed, overwhelmed, underequipped, or otherwise struggling. You can’t give it your all in a session at the gym if you don’t have the energy or drive to complete it. And you can’t efficiently eliminate toxins and waste if your body is struggling.

Most importantly, you can’t give your best to your loved ones and pursue your passions if you aren’t at your best.

I’d love to help you restore your health!
