How I Help

What Makes Me Different

There are many functional nutrition medicine doctors, nurses, health coaches, practitioners, etc. out there. So, why work with me?

A strong foundation in conventional medicine, including a medical degree from the University of Central Oklahoma in 2009 with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing
Over 11 years spent as a practicing ER Travel nurse, plus 2 years of experience and training as a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner
Formal training as an FNTP from The Nutritional Therapy Association
I truly listen empathetically, will look you in the eye, and care deeply about what you are going through
I take a team approach vs. an authoritative approach - I am your guide and we collaborate so that you feel empowered to heal
I am well prepared for your appointment and will remember even the smallest of details
You will always know that you are important to me and will never feel rushed
A belief that you know your body best and are your own best healer

I believe in what I do, not just because I’ve studied and trained in functional nutrition, but because I’ve healed myself and helped many chronically ill people do the same.

What To Expect

Now that you have a good idea of what it looks like to work with me, here’s what you can expect at our first visit and what all is included in your cost.

Initial Functional Nutrition Appointment $300 (1.5 hour)

Approximate 1½ hour appointment going over a thorough investigation of your history and symptoms together
1 to 2-hour pre-appointment prep-time/lab review (for me)
1 to 2-hour post-appointment “Protocol Creation” (for me)

Online modules that you will work through to be more equipped to heal.

Potential additional costs (not everyone will need these options)

Follow Up Appointment $200 (1 hr)

At each Follow-Up Appointment, we will check on the progress you have made. We will strengthen what is working and re-arrange anything that isn’t. We will develop new goals to get you closer to attaining your health goals.

It doesn’t take time to make a change, it takes a DECISION. When you accept my invitation to schedule with me, you’re deciding to accept my help and taking responsibility to heal. What I respectfully ask of you is that you adopt these 4 mindsets of people who heal:

What will make Functional Nutrition a Success For You

Be Committed

Stay the course & be dedicated to your healing. Healing isn’t linear. I wish it was. Your commitment will get you through the ups and down of the healing journey.

Have A Healing Mindset

If you think you’ll heal or think you won’t, either way, you’re right!

Take Radical Self-Responsibility

Excuses prevent you from healing. Those that heal take absolute responsibility.

Be Intentional

Wake up each day with the intention to do what it takes to heal and not be sick.
