First, let me warn you that I am a nerd and a recovering Type A — or as I like to say, a lowercase type a now. For years, I treated food like a puzzle to optimize. I ate "perfectly," tracked everything, and still felt like something was off. Living in a culture that celebrates perfectionism, I learned firsthand how there is a fine line between healthy and obsessive and how much that tension lives in the body. That experience is part of why I do this work the way I do. I've been in the field of naturopathic medicine since 2015, specializing in digestive health and the gut-hormone connection. I help smart, motivated women who have been doing everything right get the answers they've been looking for. I teach women how to read their own body's data. I earned my medical degree from the National University of Natural Medicine and my Bachelor's in Dietetics from Bradley University. I founded QC Natural Health in 2018 and have had the privilege of helping thousands of people feel like themselves again. My approach blends evidence-based medicine, nutrition science, and mind-body practices. In my free time, you'll find me on my yoga mat, deep in the latest gut health research, or practicing the self-compassion I teach. I hold an E-RYT 500 yoga teacher certification and teach conscious communication in yoga teacher trainings.
