My story

I'll never forget when my whole world turned upside down after returning from a dream Hawaii trip. A full-body rash. Declining kidneys. Crushing fatigue. Muscle pain I couldn't explain.

Multiple doctors. Thousands of dollars. Inconclusive tests. I was doing "all the right things" and still nobody could tell me what was going on. I was frustrated, scared, confused and most of all just desperately wanted answers. So I went deeper.

Having walked through debilitating symptoms myself, I bring deep empathy and a commitment to spend the time it takes to understand your story. At LivingWell we use a functional lens: we move beyond quick fixes toward sustainable change. We start with your goals, gather targeted clinical data, and create a personalized protocol that respects your bio-individuality and adapts as you progress. It can take time, but my aim is that you leave feeling refreshed, empowered, and equipped with the tools to move forward in your health.  Together, let's take the next step on your healing journey!
