Hi, I'm Jackie!
I am a Registered Dietitian and Integrative and Functional Nutrition Certified Practitioner. I am deeply committed to empowering women to reclaim control over their well-being through functional nutrition.
​
In today's world, it is common for symptoms to be brushed off or to be told things like fatigue, brain fog, or heavy periods are all "normal" parts of aging, motherhood, or simply being a woman.
It can be frustrating to go to your doctor for symptom resolution only to be offered a "wait and see" approach or medication to cover up symptoms. I know because I've been there...

For years I dealt with "mystery symptoms" that were often dismissed or normalized by health care providers. I was told over and over again "your labs look great, see you next time!"
I kept going to my doctors for help and was told repeatedly that nothing was wrong.
​
Eventually, I developed and was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. It took a diagnosed condition for my health providers to take actionable steps toward improving my health. This did not sit well with me, especially once I learned that for many people it can take years to receive an autoimmune diagnosis and that close to 80% of people with autoimmunity are women.
​
​
Absence of a diagnosed condition does not equal health. Conventional medicine provided me with a diagnosis and limited treatment options, but it couldn't tell me why my condition developed in the first place.
I invested in my health and began working with a functional medicine practitioner. By taking a holistic, root cause approach - I was able to improve my autoimmune condition and all of those seemingly unrelated symptoms I had been struggling with for years.
​
I understand the frustration many women face, where symptoms are often treated in isolation rather than as part of a larger, interconnected system. My mission is to bridge this gap by providing personalized, evidence-based care that addresses the unique needs of each individual, taking into account their health history, lifestyle, and environment.
