For me it was the fatigue. I was SO TIRED ALL THE TIME. I was losing my hair and gaining weight. I had developed IBS and seasonal allergies. My menses had stopped altogether. The diagnoses I received did not make sense to me and did not explain the constant new issues that kept gaining momentum. There was something, maybe several things, that were in MY life that needed to be fixed. The 'one-size-fits-all' 'pill for every ill' treatment plans just weren't answering my questions. I was a pharmacist and my conventional training could not help me, I felt hopeless and frightened.

I got lucky. I met a hormone specialist who was familiar with functional medicine principles who started me down a path to discover the miracles of personalized medicine. I have since spent the last 7 years researching and training in these areas. I am a PCCA C4 Hormone Replacement Specialist. I have been trained with the Institute for Functional Medicine. I have attended over 300 hours of hormone and functional medicine continuing education. 

I am a woman with PCOS. I have Indigenous ancestry. I have experienced trauma, both physically and emotionally. I have experienced triggers that impacted the expression of my genetic makeup. I have entire systems in my body that need more support than others, and I do so nutritionally, via supplementation, and through lifestyle interventions and by supporting my mental, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing. I began my journey to healing years ago, and it catalyzed my role as a health consultant. If I can find hope and a path to healing, then you can too.
