Helping You Heal from the Inside Out
My journey into healthcare wasn’t a straight path—it was one filled with personal struggles, unexpected lessons, and a deep passion for understanding the body as a whole. Over the years, my method of healing has evolved. While working with patients, I began noticing patterns—pain wasn’t always just mechanical. Some people weren’t healing with physical medicine alone. That’s when I started looking deeper, exploring biochemical imbalances, emotional burdens, and past traumas. And when these areas were addressed? The pain finally healed.
From Dance to Doctorate: A Journey of Body Awareness & Healing
Dance has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. From the age of three, movement became my second language—it taught me discipline, grace, and most importantly, body awareness. As a competitive dancer, I developed a deep appreciation for how the body moves, adapts, and expresses itself. But I also learned firsthand how imbalances, injuries, and internal struggles could limit performance and well-being.
It was through dance that my passion for natural health was born. I became fascinated with how nutrition, movement, and lifestyle choices influenced not only physical health but also energy, recovery, and mental clarity. This curiosity led me to study English and Dance at the University of Iowa, but my personal health challenges soon took center stage.
Struggling with joint pain, cystic acne, digestive issues, and hormonal imbalances, I found myself searching for answers beyond conventional medicine. It wasn’t until I met an Eastern Medicine Chiropractor that everything clicked—he looked at my body as a whole, uncovering the root causes of my symptoms rather than just treating them. His approach challenged my beliefs and ultimately healed me from the inside out.
That experience changed everything. It sparked my mission to help others reclaim their health naturally, leading me to Chiropractic, Functional Medicine, and Acupuncture. Now, I blend my background in movement, body awareness, and holistic healing to create an approach that is as intuitive as it is evidence-based—helping patients not just feel better, but truly thrive.
My Approach: Blending Science, Intuition & Whole-Body Healing
Functional Medicine is at the heart of what I do. Instead of just treating symptoms, I dig deeper—exploring how different systems in the body are interconnected. My training includes:
- Chiropractic – Aligning the body for optimal movement and function
- Functional Medicine – Addressing gut health, autoimmunity, hormones, and more
- Acupuncture & Dry Needling – Combining Eastern wisdom with modern techniques
- Specialty Lab Testing & Bloodwork – Getting to the root of imbalances
- Nutrition & Lifestyle Medicine – Helping you heal through food and movement
I spent years studying Functional Neurology and Functional Medicine, learning how physical and internal health are deeply connected. To this day, I’m always learning—continuing education, teaching, and expanding my knowledge to better serve my patients.
