I believe most people could benefit from understanding their mineral balance— not because something has to be seriously wrong, but because it can give you a clearer picture of what your body may need.

Most often, I work with women who just don't feel right in their body and can't figure out why. Maybe their labs come back and everything looks “fine,” but they don't feel fine. They're tired, irritable, don't have the patience they used to have, or they feel like they're doing all the things they've been told to do but still aren't losing weight or seeing the changes they expect.

Mineral patterns can also be a piece of the bigger picture when we're looking at things like mood, stress resilience, energy, focus, and how someone is functioning day to day. So sometimes what brings someone to me is physical, like weight changes, and other times it may show up in the way that they are feeling.

I also work with men and children, often after initially working with the mom. I see children on the spectrum, including those with ADHD or autism, who have benefited from mineral balancing.

People tell me they feel heard and seen. They feel like someone is in their corner looking for answers just like they are, and they know there's a clear plan moving forward. As we continue working together, people may start noticing changes in things like their energy, sleep, or how they feel overall— but just as importantly, I want them to understand their body better along the way.

Our first session is very conversational and involves a lot of information gathering. I want to know: When did this start?

I believe mineral testing is one of the best first steps because it gives us a foundational place to check in with what's actually happening inside your body, before we start layering other things on top.

What made this work so interesting to me is that two people can sleep the same number of hours, eat the same food, or be exposed to the same environment and still have completely different experiences.

Strangely enough, I never thought that I would enter into the health field. I was a teacher and I was a mom. But as people in my family started having different health experiences, I found myself asking more and more questions. Everyone was addressing the symptoms, and I found myself wanting to understand more. I wanted to know why those symptoms were there in the first place.

That curiosity eventually introduced me to integrative health and functional lab testing.
