Today, I turn 46. I am so incredibly proud of and grateful for the journey. My 40’s have been about becoming more fully me.

Looking back, my 30’s were spent still trying to find success and happiness by following the path I was told was the right one to walk. I finished all of my medical training, found my first job in medicine as a hospitalist, burned out, went back for more training, and started my second “real” job in medicine, as medical director of a small palliative care service. At the same time, I got divorced, tried to figure out who I was on the other side of a marriage and medical residency, found my horses, my deep connection to the land, fell in love with the person who had always lifted me up, had two beautiful boys, and moved to Colorado. (as I look back, it’s amazing that all of that happened in 10 years).

My 40’s have been about realizing that burnout for me is that I was never meant to fit inside the system whose highest value is productivity. It’s been about finding my own footing and beginning to step away from the system. It’s about falling in love with myself and the journey and allowing myself to dream big… and connecting with the anger because I believed all the people along the way (especially in medicine) who told me to stay small, that I gave my power away to them because I was taught that success was dependent on making other people happy, even when the cost was losing myself.

I am profoundly humbled by the journey and so grateful to be exactly where I am today. I have incredible people in my life, incredible teachers, and am so excited to see where the journey takes me.

This is my medicine and my work… to be deeply connected to the land, to the animals, to bridge mind, body, and soul health, and to be in relationship to death and dying so that I may help others live more intentionally. This is my medicine…to help women to come into deep relationship with their bodies and themselves… because once you can hear your own voice and wisdom and feel your own power and beauty, you no longer tolerate the life that is stealing your health, energy, joy, and power.

Health isn’t built in the big, dramatic moments… it’s built in the microsteps. 🌱
So often we think health comes from perfect routines, strict schedules, or major life changes. But the truth is… our foundation is created in the small, quiet choices we make every single day.

This spring, I’ve been returning to my own foundation, the practices that support my body, my nervous system, and my life in gentle, sustainable ways.

Here are five things I’ve been focusing on:
✨ Protecting my sleep
Creating a wind-down routine, going to bed early, putting my phone down, and choosing habits that support deep rest, like skipping the alcohol.
✨ Recommitting to movement throughout my day
Short walks, morning and evening stretching, and weaving strength into everyday moments, not perfection, just presence.
✨ Hydrating intentionally
Starting my mornings with water, choosing hydration before caffeine, and checking in with myself as the day goes on.
✨ Returning to my breath
Soft, gentle breathing that helps me release tension, shift my nervous system, connects me to the present moment and what's happening inside. My breath brings me back into my body.
✨ Inviting in gentleness & joy
Letting nature, animals, sunlight, and the people I love bring me back to myself and choosing joy even when it means letting go of what I “should” be doing.

These aren’t big, dramatic changes.
They’re small, consistent acts of care, and they’ve been strengthening my foundation in the most meaningful ways.
If you’re looking to reconnect with your own foundation, I’d love to support you.

Today I’m sitting in deep gratitude for the work that I do—for the privilege of walking with people at some of the most difficult moments of their lives, and for the opportunity to carry forward the wisdom each person shares with me about what truly matters… how to live, how to love deeply, and sometimes, how to die.

Every day of my life is shaped by the profound conversations I have with people about what matters most. Over the course of my career in medicine, I have had the privilege of talking to thousands of people about their lives, their health, their deep regrets, their love, and what matters most to them—especially when they are facing their own mortality.

I don’t know what my life would look like, or who I would be, without these conversations. Each one has shaped the choices I make about what to prioritize, the way I care for my own body, and the way I choose to show up in the world. They have shaped the physician and healer and woman that I am today.

My medicine—my offering—is rooted in the wisdom of my teachers and mentors, the ones who have gone before me, and in the sacred trust of the patients who have allowed me to walk alongside them.
I carry both with deep reverence.

I feel profoundly grateful for the journey I’ve been given the opportunity to walk in this life…
and it is this lineage of wisdom that I carry forward - gathered over thousands of hours and conversations - to help others live what matters most and journey toward better health.

If you’re a professional healer, a caretaker, the "strong friend," or an empathic human, your nervous system needs more than just a yoga class. 🛑 It needs a release. This week, we’re talking about nervous system regulation and the practice of "swamping."
Understand the difference between being "upregulated" (anxious) and "hypo-aroused" (shut down).

Learn how to move stagnant rage and grief out of your body so you can stay centered.
I discuss why "busyness" is a cultural disease and how to start your own cure.

Today is the new moon in Aries, a time that carries the energy of bold new beginnings.
In many ways, I feel like I am beginning again—becoming the next version of myself and bringing into existence the next version of my work.

What I find most beautiful to witness in my work is the courage with which women journey and grow when faced with life and health challenges.

I know this journey is often incredibly painful and grief-filled.
There is loss, uncertainty, and moments when the ground beneath us feels unsteady.

And yet, through the journey, something remarkable happens.
In some way, we are birthed again.
We begin again.

Illness is often an initiation—
a time filled with deep pain, grief, and uncertainty,
a time when our foundation becomes unstable.

And it is also a time of profound transformation and growth.
A time capable of breaking us apart
and putting us back together
into a more honest, more grounded, more alive version of ourselves.

This is the work I have devoted my life to—walking alongside women through illness, uncertainty, and transformation, helping them find their footing and their meaning again.
If you are ready for support on your own journey, I’m here.

Learn why I stopped using self-care as a "Band-Aid" and started using it as a life structure.
Discover the "check-in" practice to distinguish between your mind’s "shoulds" and your body wisdom.

I didn’t become an integrative physician because I had it all figured out.
I became one because I saw strong, competent women lose themselves in the busyness of the world.
And I recognized it… because I had been there too.

I also became one because I knew there was more to healing than conventional medicine alone.

Don’t get me wrong—conventional medicine is a powerful tool.
It saves lives every day.
But it was never designed to carry the full weight of women’s healing.

So many of the symptoms I see in women aren’t just medical.
They are the imprint of expectations.
Of constant giving.
Of productivity.
Of living in a society—and a healthcare system—that wasn’t built with women’s bodies in mind.

Healing becomes more powerful when we combine the best of conventional medicine
with deep work—
understanding what your body needs,
listening to your nervous system,
and supporting your healing with complementary modalities that honor the whole of you.

That’s the work I do.

Ways to work with me:
• personalized, boutique integrative medicine for women in Colorado (in person or via telehealth) through my practice Healing with Intention Integrative Medicine
• Women’s circles & retreats through Honoring the Wisdom Within

Because the vibrant, alive version of you is still there.
She’s not broken.
She’s been carrying too much.
