I am highly trained and experienced in pharmaceutical products, pharmacotherapy, pharmacogenomics, but I have spent my career researching ways to help my patients reduce the number of medications without compromising acute current health condition, avoiding serious side effects and significant drug interactions, and improving medication-nutrition depletion. From a young age, I dreamed of becoming
a pharmacist so I could provide "magic" medications for my family that we could never afford when I was growing up. I experienced what it was like to have a mother with severe health problems and I, too, eventually went through many of my own health challenges over the years, including endometriosis, infertility, anxiety, PCOS, hormonal issues, and much more. But when I finally found extreme relief was when I cleaned up my diet, changed my lifestyle, and learned how to boost my immune system with optimal nutrition, rest, and other natural methods. I became passionate about helping others find options and relief for their own health struggles and this led me to become an expert in Nutrigenomics and Functional Medicine. As a hospital pharmacist for more than 20 years, I have seen many patients admitted to the hospital with medication-related problems like adverse drug effects, drug-drug interaction, drug-food interaction – all of which CAN be prevented. I felt the need to step out of the acute care setting, so I could really help patients to get well again. Now, I work with clients who are motivated to regain their vitality and maximize longevity to discover WHY they are not feeling well versus just managing and masking symptoms with medications. I teach and empower them to support their health with natural methods and optimal nutrition for their unique body so that they can eventually get OFF the vicious cycle of medications. I have found a way to utilize my extensive clinical experience and combine it with expertise in Nutrigenomics and Functional Medicine to work with clients who are ready to break through to lasting healing and reach optimal health, so they can get off the endless loop of endless medications and side-effects and start living their best lives.
