It’s been a while since I’ve posted, and I’m going to try to be more consistent—because I’ve been getting so many questions about my practice and what exactly it is that I do. But don’t hold me to it.

One of the first things I want to say is this: I believe rest is radical.

Slowing down. Sensing. Feeling all the feels. Tuning into nature. Giving our nervous systems the opportunity to switch into a low, steady hum. What an absolute gift. What a privilege.

What does this have to do with my work? Everything.

We live in a world where we are inundated with stimulation all day—and often all night. Phones, noise, children, stress, lights. My work supports people in finding homeostasis by offering a reflection of what that regulated state can feel like.

Naturopathic medicine is a commitment. It’s a deeper undertaking for those who truly want to create a lifestyle that supports everything else they want to do in their lives. It takes time. It slows us down. It asks us to go inward.

Acupuncture is many things—and can support just about anything. One of my favorite analogies is to think of it as self-care you don’t have to work for. You show up. I guide your body through a treatment. And the magic happens while you rest.

Most people leave feeling deeply relaxed and centered. And if you’re someone who burns the candle at both ends, you might feel tired afterward. That’s not a bad thing. It’s often a gentle truth-telling—showing you where your energy actually is once cortisol, stress, and caffeine step aside.

In simple terms, I support people with:
• anxiety + depression
• gut health
• hormones (periods, fertility, pregnancy, postpartum)
• injuries
• stress
• chronic illness

If you’re ever unsure whether what I do can help you, you can always reach out and ask.

It’s been such a delight getting to know more of you in this new space. I can’t wait to meet the rest of you here.

I met while on a date with my 3-year-old at . We sat next to her in the cozy stadium seating and she was impossible not to talk to. Within three minutes we realized she was living in our old house—the guest house of some mutual favorite people. One of those very “small world” moments ✨

When I started building my new website, I decided to try doing it myself. Very quickly, my lack of tech savvy became… obvious. I knew exactly what I wanted, but I couldn’t get it there. I remembered Ally built websites and immediately knew—she was my girl.

Our first meeting ended up being mostly about life. She gets me, and that comes through so clearly in her work. I never could have imagined someone could wizard together my words, imagery, and branding so seamlessly. It felt like she read my mind—only better.

I’m so glad we met. I’m so happy to know you. And I’ll always be grateful for the way you crafted my online presence with so much beauty, care, and genuine creativity. Thank you for seeing me. You’re magic 🤍

This November has felt like a reminder of how quickly life can shift—and how gracefully it can realign. One day we were signing a lease at our sweet beachfront home, and the next we were being asked to leave. But almost as quickly as the rug was pulled out, the universe rolled out something softer: a new home, just down the same familiar street, perfectly suited to who we’re becoming.

Five days after moving in, we gathered our people for Friendsgiving—a housewarming woven with laughter, good food, and the warmth of good friends. Rex (slide 5) sat at the heart of it all, our sweet guest of honor on his last day Earthside, blessing the new space with his sweetness.

The girls have been drifting between imaginative worlds and holiday crafting, their creativity filling the rooms with color—even now, as they rest and recover from the flu.

Through all this movement, I’ve been watching my family meet each moment with tenderness and resilience. These days more than ever, I wish I could slow time, just a little, to linger in this chapter a bit longer.

Maybe it’s because we’re both Enneagram 7s that being with Leah feels so effortless. We can go deep or stay light, and we always end up laughing.

She’s brilliant, grounded, and somehow both confidently present and seamlessly invisible behind the camera, which is why her photos feel so alive.

Spend even a little time with her and you’ll notice her photographer’s mind is always at work. It’s simply how she sees the world ()—an instinctive gift that makes her perspective so special and unmistakably her own.

Her work speaks for itself, but I’ll say this: book with her now. This babe is going far—and fast.

When I first met , I loved her instantly. She’s effortlessly cool (and doesn’t even know it), has style for days, and carries a deeply grounded energy that’s even more real than it seems. Spend time with her and you’ll always leave feeling better for it.

She sees the world with such generosity and curiosity—always asking, always imagining what’s possible. Even while solo parenting three little ones for long stretches, her energy for creativity and connection never runs out.

I was lucky enough to live down the street from Alli for a year. Within weeks, we started a thread that continues today—one that wove her art and branding magic perfectly into the vision I was dreaming for my practice.

Over the last six months, we’ve really dug in. Alli asked the right questions, helped me dream into what this new chapter could look and feel like, and followed me patiently down every winding road to get here.

And now—it’s here. My new branding, website, and practice chapter are alive in the world. I couldn’t be more grateful for the experience and the outcome.

If you’re looking for someone to bring your vision to life, I couldn’t recommend Alli more. Truly, the highest recommendation.

Our first session is spacious — an unhurried conversation where your story can unfold. We’ll explore what’s been happening in your body, the patterns you’ve noticed, and the moments in life that have shaped your health. I’ll listen closely, ask thoughtful questions, and begin to piece together the threads of your history and your present needs.

From there, we’ll chart a gentle, clear path forward — one that honors your rhythms, your capacity, and the wisdom your body already holds.

Before Leni was born, I could already feel something shifting in how I wanted to practice. Her arrival offered the stillness I needed — the space to listen more deeply and reimagine how healing could feel.

Three years, countless lessons, and many quiet transformations later, I’m creating a new practice space that holds all of it — softness, strength, and renewal.

I can’t wait to share what’s unfolding soon.
