When I was eight years old, living in Germany, my kidneys began to fail.
It started as recurring kidney and bladder infections. For over a year I was on round after round of antibiotics until my body grew resistant to nearly all of them. By the time I was nine, the doctors had run out of options. They scheduled surgery to remove my kidneys and put me on dialysis, and they gave me a prognosis I still find hard to say out loud: about ten years to live.
I wouldn't have seen my twentieth birthday.
My mother refused to accept that. She began searching for another way, and she found a homeopathic doctor who saw my body differently, not as a set of failing parts to remove, but as a whole system that could be supported back to health. She began gently detoxing my body and rebuilding my immunity and organ function.
Within six months, I was off all medication.
By the age of ten, I was a healthy, ordinary girl again.
I'm in my late 40's now. My kidneys are healthy. I simply stay mindful about staying well hydrated and giving my body the nutrients it needs...a small daily practice in exchange for a life I was told I wouldn't have.
That experience didn't just save my life. It shaped it. I grew up knowing, in my body and not just my mind, that the conventional path isn't the only path — and that healing is possible when we understand and support the body rather than fight it.
It's why I became a homeopath myself. And it's the foundation of everything I do today.

That childhood healing planted a seed that never left me. I knew I wanted to help others find what my mother had fought so hard to find for me.
So I did it the long way. While working full-time as a software trainer during the day, I studied at night — for over seven years — eventually earning my certificate in live and dried blood analysis and my diploma in homeopathy and Heilkunst from the Hahnemann College for Heilkunst.
That was the beginning of what is now more than 17 years in practice. Over those years I've added Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis, deepened my work in gut and hormone health, and spent years working with herbal remedies and essential oils.
But underneath all the training, the through-line has always been the same: look at the whole person, find the root, and support the body's own capacity to heal.
Today I live on a mountain farm in the Boundary region of British Columbia with my three children and our animals: five horses (two of them wild foals I adopted), a herd of goats, and heritage chickens.
We grow our own food. We make our own remedies. I've raised my children naturally, drawing on everything I've learned. We live as closely to the land as we can, not because it's trendy, but because it's where I feel most well, and most myself.
For me, health was never just about the absence of symptoms. It's about the whole of life: what we eat, how we move, the stress we carry, the peace we make room for, and the way we choose to live. That's the lens I bring to every person I work with.

You'd think someone who'd spent decades in natural health would have it all figured out. But in my early 40s, I found myself facing a new and frustrating challenge of my own.
I was eating well, staying active, doing everything "right" ...and I was bloated almost every day. My energy had become unpredictable. My clothes fit differently. Weight was creeping on for no reason I could identify. I felt, once again, like my body was operating by rules I no longer understood.
It was Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis that finally showed me the truth: adrenal fatigue, a sluggish thyroid, and hidden copper toxicity. Patterns that no standard test had caught, quietly driving everything I was experiencing.
When I addressed them, at the root and in the right order, the bloating that had been stealing my confidence finally lifted.
That experience is why I understand the women I work with so deeply. I know what it feels like to do everything right and still not feel right. And I know what becomes possible when you finally understand what your body is actually asking for.

I look at your body as a whole, not a list of symptoms to manage.
Everything is connected. Your hormones, your minerals, your gut, your thyroid, your stress patterns, your digestion, your detox pathways; these don't operate in isolation. When one system shifts, the others respond. That cascade is what creates so much of the bloating, fatigue, and unpredictability women experience in midlife.
Most approaches try to solve one piece of the puzzle. My work addresses the whole picture, and critically, in the right order.
Because sequencing matters.
Trying to rebalance your gut before supporting your minerals is like renovating a house before fixing the foundation.
My role is to help you understand what's shifting in your body, and to guide you through resetting it, gently and step by step.
Deep Listening
You won't be rushed, and you won't be dismissed. I take time to understand your full experience, because everything you share gives us clues to what's really happening underneath.
Functional Insight Through Testing
HTMA and blood analysis let us see what your body has been coping with beneath the surface, often for years. This is why people finally get answers here after feeling stuck for so long.
A Gentle, Sequenced Method
Your body doesn't need aggressive cleanses or harsh protocols. It needs the right support, in the right order, at the right pace. That's what creates lasting change and not a temporary fix that collapses the moment life gets busy.
Personalized, High-Touch Support
Your body is unique. Your history is unique. Your care should be too. Every recommendation is built around you specifically: your results, your symptoms, where you are right now.

Many of the women who find me are in their 40s and 50s. They are health-conscious, motivated, and tired of being told their labs are "normal" while they clearly don't feel well. They've tried the diets, read the books, done the research. They're not looking for generic advice. They want someone who can finally explain why their body is responding the way it is.
But I also work with people of all ages and backgrounds — often by referral — who simply want a deeper, root-cause understanding of their health, whatever their concern. Functional testing like HTMA and blood analysis can offer insight for almost anyone willing to look beneath the surface.
If you've been searching for someone who looks deeper and who genuinely believes your body has the capacity to heal, you're in the right place.
If persistent bloating is what brought you here, the best place to begin is the free Bloat-Relief Clarity Test: a 10-minute self-assessment that reveals which root-cause patterns may be driving your symptoms
Here for something else — HTMA, blood analysis, or a private consultation?
