Love this team that we get to serve on church. These are friends that have become family to us! Every year we get to spend a week together to rest, have fun, review the last year and look ahead. This year was so sweet, but so hard since it is our last retreat with them. Goodbyes are so hard and my heart hurts. We hope to take what we have learned from all of these awesome people in the past 10 years of ministry to our next community in So. Cal. Thankful for this last week and all the years! Love you all!

Big news!! We are moving to Southern California! I have accepted a full-time faculty position in the Master of Occupational Therapy program at Biola University! I’m so excited to go back to my Alma mater and be a part of training up compassionate and competent occupational therapists while integrating faith and functional medicine into practice! So sad to leave our friends who have become family here in the PNW. Excited for this season! Go Eagles!

I love empowering my clients and women to make connections between their story and physical health. Gaining knowledge about the interconnectedness of not only the systems of our body but the emotional, physical and spiritual components of health moves us toward whole health. Identifying root causes through the functional medicine framework and recognizing that each person is unique and intricately made helps me develop an individualized plan. I’m also thankful that I get to use this framework and my passion for whole health as I work with kids and adults in occupational therapy. Feeling blessed that I love what I do!

Hi everyone!! Thought I should take a moment to introduce myself since it’s been awhile. I’m a Nevada native transplanted into the Seattle area for the last 10 years. I’ve been an occupational therapist for 25 years and in the past 12 years received more training in integrative medicine. About 5 years ago I went back to school to get another masters in human nutrition and functional medicine. The two worlds have come together so well in my daily practice. I have the privilege of working with people of all ages. I love to educate and empower individuals in the area of health and wellness as well as daily function. I am also the functional nutritionist at Eastside Integrated Primary Care. I feel very fortunate to do what I do and am encouraged everyday as I see so much progress in my patients lives. I have a virtual clinic where I see individuals throughout the country to develop a comprehensive nutrition plan through the lens of functional medicine. See link in profile! Reach out if you have questions or would like to book a consult! Here’s to health!!

I love the Pacific Northwest in the summer…the most beautiful place to live with so many farms and places to explore. I try to remember this when the clouds and the rain come. It’s all that rain that makes the beauty in the summer. Isn’t that the truth in life?
Now it’s time to wash 12pounds of blueberries 🫐

Rooted Life exists to create space for women who seek to better understand the interconnectedness of their story, body, and soul, and how it connects with the stories, bodies, and souls of others. Join women from all seasons and stages of life to discover how your story has:

shaped your way of being in the world

impacted your physical and mental health

created your relational roadmap

Learning to read your story well is sacred work. Hard work. The women we gather are ready to engage all of themselves because they sense they were made for more. More life, more love, more connection, more rest, more freedom, more groundedness, more courage. More is possible.

I have the privilege of joining and as we bring together our heart and passion as well as giftedness to walk with women through this journey. We are so excited to be able to combine functional medicine with emotional, relational and spiritual health in our Rooted Life experience. Our next retreat is in Duvall,WA October 18-20th. Reach out if you are interested. This is a three month journey starting with virtual story work, then the 3-day in-person retreat, followed by post processing and Rooted community. There’s no better time but the present.
Check out our website www.rootedlife.co for more details and to register. Deadline to register is August 1, 2024.

Retreats and Resources Rooted in Functional Medicine, Emotional Health, Story, & Connection. Our individual and collective stories inform our everyday life and relationships, and reading our stories well is crucial to healing, wholeness, and living out our purpose.
