Functional Nutrition Counseling

I specialize in supporting women struggling with chronic bloating, constipation, and other gut issues - especially those who feel like they’ve tried everything. Many of my clients are high-achieving, Type A women who’ve been dismissed by conventional care and are ready to get to the root of what’s going on.

Functional nutrition looks at the whole body and aims to uncover the why behind your symptoms. Instead of quick fixes or one-size-fits-all diets, we use a personalized, root-cause approach to restore balance to your gut, hormones, and nervous system.

Yes. Many of my clients come to me after doing things like low-FODMAP, SIBO protocols, or working with GI doctors. My approach goes deeper—looking at nervous system regulation, food relationships, and long-term healing strategies instead of bandaid solutions.

Most clients experience less bloating, more regular digestion, better bowel movements, improved energy, and reduced food anxiety within the first month. Longer-term, they gain confidence in their food choices, feel more comfortable, confident, and at home in their bodies, and stop obsessing over what to eat.

Yes, when appropriate, but it's typically not the first place I go with clients. While I support my clients in advocating for themselves and getting their regular insurance-covered labs from their doctors, I've found many functional practitioners over-test and under-deliver with their patients when it comes to functional testing. I've found my program is just as if not more effective, and often doesn't even need to utilize functional lab testing. That being said, if we've started working together and you are doing all the foundations and are still not seeing results, we can explore functional lab testing together (like GI Map stool testing or DUTCH hormone testing) to get a clearer picture of what’s going on. This functional testing is not always required - I can also guide you using a symptom-based, food-first approach.

Rather than strict meal plans, I help you learn how to eat in a way that supports your unique body. That might include gut-healing meal templates, food reintroductions, and guidance on reducing bloat and constipation without feeling overly restricted.

I get it—so many of my clients come to me frustrated, having seen GI specialists, tried elimination diets, or Googled their way into food fear. My approach is different because it blends root-cause functional nutrition with nervous system support and real-life habit shifts. We go beyond symptom suppression and build true healing from the inside out.

You don’t need a diagnosis to work with me. If you’re constantly bloated, irregular, gassy, or uncomfortable in your body—even if your labs are “normal”—that’s enough. I help you uncover what’s driving your symptoms and create a plan to feel better.

Not necessarily. I focus on nourishment over restriction. While short-term adjustments may be helpful in certain cases, my goal is to expand your diet over time - not shrink it. The goal is to increase your resilience so that your gut can handle whatever foods you throw its way.

I work with high-performing women, so I get that your time is limited. My programs are designed to fit into your life—not take it over. We focus on realistic shifts that create real change without adding stress or overwhelm.

It depends on the person and their history, but most clients start noticing improvements in bloating, constipation, and energy within the first 4–6 weeks. Deeper healing usually takes a few months.

Nope. This isn’t about perfection—it’s about finding what works for your body. While we may adjust a few things temporarily, my goal is to help you feel good without cutting out everything that brings you joy.

Gut health is my specialty, but it connects to everything—energy, hormones, skin, mood, and more. If you’re feeling fatigued, inflamed, anxious, or just “off,” there’s a good chance your gut is involved. We’ll look at the whole picture.

I offer high-touch 1:1 programs because gut healing and nervous system repair take time. My support includes ongoing check-ins, messaging support, and personalized guidance every step of the way. This isn’t just a session - it’s a partnership.
