ABOUT ME

I’m a licensed pharmacist, certified health coach, and AFMC practitioner specializing in functional medicine and nutrition. My journey began with a deep curiosity about the true drivers of health — and a growing realization that conventional medicine often focuses on symptom management rather than addressing the root causes of chronic illness.

After years of working in pharmacy, I came to understand that while medications are essential — especially in acute situations — they’re not always the answer for chronic conditions. What we eat every day, on the other hand, profoundly impacts our biology. Food is information. It's fuel. And when used correctly, it becomes one of the most powerful tools for healing. This belief is what inspired me to become The FARMacist — blending my pharmaceutical background with a food-as-medicine philosophy.

My personal transformation began when I became a mother. Like many parents, I wanted the best for my children, and that meant understanding what nourishes and what harms. As I dove deeper into the science of nutrition, I was shocked by what I uncovered about our modern food system. The journey wasn't always easy — avoiding processed, chemical-laden foods felt overwhelming at times. But I’ve learned to embrace balance. I no longer believe in rigid extremes. Instead, I teach my family — and my clients — how to make empowered, sustainable, and enjoyable healthy choices. And yes, we still enjoy life and food!

To build on this passion, I studied holistic nutrition at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN), where I learned how bio-individuality shapes every person’s path to health. I later advanced my studies in functional nutrition and lifestyle medicine at the School of Applied Functional Medicine, earning certification as an AFMC practitioner in March 2023.

Through a functional medicine lens, I work with clients to uncover what’s burdening their systems — whether toxins, stress, poor gut health, or nutrient imbalances — and support what the body truly needs to heal. My mission is to translate complex science into personalized, practical strategies that help individuals reverse chronic symptoms, restore energy, and reclaim control over their health.

I am committed to lifelong learning. The more I grow, the more deeply I can serve. And I’m honored to walk beside my clients on their path to vibrant, resilient wellness.
