I spent the first decade of my career in Western medicine after earning my MD from the University of Vermont College of Medicine and a Master's in Exercise Physiology from UC Berkeley. I loved the science. I loved the rigor. But over time, I couldn't shake the feeling that so many of the women in front of me were being handed a prescription when what they really needed was to be heard.
That quiet dissatisfaction eventually became a turning point. I earned my Equine Gestalt Coaching certifications through Touched by A Horse, and continued deepening my expertise in Functional Medicine. Somewhere along the way, I stopped trying to fit women into the medical model and started building a model around them.
Walking that path myself is what shaped the way I now work with clients. It's why I refuse to hand out generic advice. It's why every plan I build combines root-cause healing, integrative nutrition, fitness, and gestalt principles — all tailored to the woman in front of me.
Today, I work with women virtually, through online courses, and in-person at my farm. I'm a mother, an equestrian, and endlessly curious about what the human body can do when we finally give it what it needs. I believe — deeply — that the body can heal from almost anything, given the right support.
