Naturopathic doctor in Grand Rapids, MI offering lab-informed, relationship-based care for women and men dealing with fatigue, hormone changes, stress, digestion, and metabolic concerns. I am a licensed and board-certified Naturopathic Doctor offering Individualized Health Care (Via Telehealth) in West Michigan, Detroit & Chicago.

Empowering and educating clients on how to achieve and maintain optimal health.

One of the biggest differences clients notice at their first appointment is the time.

Your initial visit is about two hours long not because we’re slow, but because there’s a lot to talk about.

We go through every system in your body and how they’re all connected. Because your symptoms don’t exist in isolation, and neither does your story.

A 15-minute appointment can’t capture:
• what you’ve been through
• what you’re dealing with right now
• what you’ve already tried
• how long your symptoms have been showing up
• or how all of it is affecting your day-to-day life

I want to hear all of it. Feeling truly heard is not optional, it’s essential for this work to actually work.

If you’ve been feeling like something’s been missed, this may be the space you’ve been looking for. 🤍

This is why I chose naturopathic medicine & and why it still matters to me!

Okay, real talk for a second.

If you’ve ever left a doctor’s appointment and thought,
“I didn’t ask anything I wanted to ask… and now I feel weird about it” you’re not alone.

It’s SO common to feel nervous speaking up.
But you deserve to know:

• why you’re taking something
• how it might interact with other meds or supplements
• what your labs actually mean
• or if there are other labs you’re curious about

A few things that help if asking in the moment feels hard:
👉 write your questions down ahead of time
👉 keep them in your notes app
👉 email or message your provider after
👉 remind yourself that good providers want informed patients

This is your body.
Your health.
You’re not “being annoying”, you’re being responsible. 🤍

Let me tell you something I see all the time in my practice 🤍

If your gut feels off & you’re experiencing bloating, discomfort, irregular digestion, yes, there could be a gut microbe imbalance. But very often? Your gut is mirroring what’s happening in your nervous system.

Chronic stress, being stuck in fight-or-flight, poor sleep, overwhelm… all of that directly affects digestion. And here’s the good news: when we make small, sustainable changes, we often support both systems at the same time.

This is one of the biggest benefits of naturopathic care. We don’t look at symptoms in isolation. Your gut, hormones, nervous system, immune system, they’re constantly talking to each other. When we support the root, things start to shift everywhere.

You don’t need to overhaul your life. You need the right changes, done consistently, that your body can actually maintain.

If you’re dealing with gut issues and feel chronically stressed, anxious, or burnt out, then this might be your sign to look deeper 🤍

✨ Schedule a complimentary meet & greet through the link in my bio to see if we’re a good fit and get started supporting your body as a whole.

Small shifts. Big healing.

Okay friend, let me tell you one of my favorite low-effort health habits 👇

I keep a rebounder right in my living room, no gym, no “workout clothes required.” I’ll hop on for a minute or two between tasks, or even while watching TV. And those tiny moments? They add up in a big way.

Gentle rebounding is amazing for supporting lymphatic drainage (your body’s clean-up system), building strength, and yes, helping with pelvic floor dysfunction. The key here is consistency, not intensity.

You don’t need a 45-minute workout to support your body. You need small, repeatable habits that fit into real life. A few minutes here and there can help you feel lighter, stronger, and more connected to your body over time.

This is your reminder: movement should feel supportive, not like punishment 🤍

When patients tell me they hate exercising, I don’t push them harder, I help them find a gentler approach.

Movement should never feel like punishment. If you dread it, your body is already telling you it’s not the right fit.

I focus on helping people move in ways that make them feel strong, flexible, and good in their joints. Not wiped out or sore for days.

I personally love barre and light lifting (nothing more than 20 lbs). It’s gentle, it’s effective, and honestly… it feels good.

The goal isn’t to suffer. The goal is to find movement you enjoy, because when you enjoy it, you’ll actually stick with it. And that’s where real results come from.

Ever notice how you can be mostly fine… until you’re not?

We all have a stress “cup.”
Work, kids, lack of sleep, food stuff, emotional stress, it all goes in.

You can handle it for a while… but keep adding things and eventually the cup overflows and symptoms show up.

The goal isn’t doing everything perfectly (because… life).

It’s just finding small ways to empty your cup here and there so it doesn’t spill over.

Save this as a reminder during busy seasons 💛 and as always, if you need help getting to the root of those symptoms, I’d love to work for you!

Book a meet & greet with me today (yes, it’s complimentary & only 15 minutes so we can meet, discuss symptoms and an action plan). All care is provided virtually! I cannot wait to meet you. You can find the link to schedule in my bio ✨

Struggling to lose weight and worried it’s your thyroid?

Here’s something most people don’t realize 👇

Making thyroid hormones isn’t just about the thyroid itself. Your body needs key nutrients to produce and convert those hormones properly — and iron is a big one.

The tricky part?
Iron deficiency doesn’t always show up clearly on a standard CBC, so many people are told “everything looks normal” when it’s not the full picture.

If weight loss feels impossible despite doing “all the right things,” it may be worth looking deeper than basic labs.

This is where a functional approach can make a huge difference ✨

Heavy periods can lower your iron…
and low iron can actually make periods heavier.

So many women get stuck in this cycle and are told:
“Just deal with it” or “That’s normal.”

But here’s the thing—
there are gentle, supportive ways to improve iron levels and help your body regulate menstrual flow. And no, it doesn’t always mean jumping straight to harsh supplements or birth control.

If you’re feeling exhausted, dizzy, short of breath, or like your period wipes you out every month—your body may be asking for deeper support 🤍

I’d love to walk through your symptoms, labs, and history with you and talk through personalized options that actually feel doable.

This month was full in every sense of the word.
Long days, busy evenings, and so many moments in between.

✨ Time spent cheering on my kids at their games and practices
✨ Visiting family and soaking up time together
✨ A few rounds of sickness (because December 🙃)
✨ Elf on the Shelf shenanigans and extra laughs at home
✨ Snowfall, cozy moments, and quiet pauses
✨ Sponsoring my kids’ cheer team, a joy to support something they love

December reminded me that life doesn’t slow down during the holidays, it just becomes richer, louder, and more meaningful. I’m grateful for the balance of caring for others while staying present with my own people.

Here’s to a season of connection, grace, and doing the best we can, both at home and in health 🤍
