A Personal Note: Where Science Met My Story

I sat in another sterile doctor's office, holding yet another "normal" test result, fighting back tears. Five miscarriages over ten years, and all I heard was "Everything looks fine. Just keep trying." My body was telling a different story—through brutal digestive issues, energy crashes that coffee couldn't touch, and an intuition that kept whispering: "There's more to this story."

That whisper led me to a discovery that would transform not just my life, but the lives of countless women: the intricate dance between our gut health and every aspect of female vitality isn't just clinical research—it's the key I needed all along.

The Breakthrough I Never Expected

Through a blend of desperation and determination, I dove deep into microbiome research while working with a remarkable Chinese Medicine Doctor. What unfolded was nothing short of extraordinary: three months of intensive gut healing—combining Eastern wisdom with precision microbiome protocols—led to what five reproductive specialists had deemed "highly unlikely": my son's birth in 2011, after 3,180 days of loss and waiting.

From Protocol to Partnership: Walking This Path Together

I learned the hard way that healing isn't a sprint—just ask my tortoises Doug and Nala, who remind me daily that the most powerful transformations happen one patient step at a time. When I was rushing through my own health maze, chasing quick fixes and miracle cures, Nala would give me that knowing look (yes, tortoises can do that) as if to say, "Slow down, human. The answers will come."

What sets my approach apart isn't just the cutting-edge science (though trust me, I geek out on the latest microbiome research). It's that I've sat where you're sitting, clutching "normal" test results while my gut screamed otherwise. I've cried in my car after another dismissive doctor's appointment. And I've discovered that sometimes our biggest breakthroughs come when we finally slow down enough to listen.

When my clients text me their first "I slept through the night!" or "My test results have totally changed!" victories, we celebrate like we've won the Olympics—because these moments matter.

Together, we'll:

Listen Like Detectives

  • To those "weird" symptoms you've been gaslit about

  • To that inner voice that keeps whispering "there's more to this"

  • To your body's subtle clues that everyone else has missed

Test Like Scientists

  • Mapping your microbiome with the precision of a marine biologist

    studying tide pools

  • Tracking the small shifts that add up to big victories

  • Following your unique healing rhythm, not some one-size-fits-all timeline

Transform Like Nature

  • Building sustainable changes that fit your real life (because who needs another

    impossible protocol?)

  • Adapting as your body shows us what works

  • Creating the kind of resilience that will protect you for life

And yes, we'll probably share some laughs along the way—because whoever said healing can't be enjoyable hasn't worked with me. Each small victory deserves its happy dance (even if it's just via text), and every setback is just data for our next breakthrough.
