It may be a romantic notion, but I honestly believe that your body can heal anything! Yes, ANYTHING!

But if it can't be fully healed... then at the very least you can do things to help mitigate the pain and have a better quality of life.
You are NOT your diagnosis! And you need to stop being treated as such.

Your body has a remarkable self-healing/self-repairing/self-generating mechanism that is constantly working. No matter how far along your disease or illness is... your body is still repairing at every moment. If it stopped repairing, you'd be dead in just a matter of days!
I believe that we need to help our body’s self-healing mechanisms by providing it the nourishment that it needs to move from a state of surviving to THRIVING!

It's not only possible... it's downright easy once you start to understand WHAT your body needs in order to continue to heal and repair itself.

When we give our body what it needs to function optimally!

FIRST: Fresh, local, and seasonal vegetables and fruits, quality sources of protein, and good, healthy fats as the foundation of health, it will have the fuel that it needs to start healing! (I mean, you don't buy a corvette and then put shitty gas in it!!)

SECOND: Herbs to help support you in getting to your health goals faster. No one has a dandelion deficiency... but we can have vitamin or mineral deficiencies and we look at FOOD sources first in order to get the most of what we need.

Then and ONLY then, would we add supplements to your routine if we have determined that you are deficient in something and not able to get yourself to sufficiency from diet alone.

Listen, I know.... (trust me, do I ever know), there's a lot of NOISE about what diet to be on, what supplements to take, what style of exercise program is best... yada yada yada. The noise and opinions are endless... and frustrating because I bet you that you've tried some things and yet, you are still struggling to get your health where
you want it to be. The noise and opinions are endless... and frustrating because I bet you that you've tried some things and yet, you are still struggling to get your health where you want it to be.

Take a moment, close your eyes, and ask your body what it needs right now.

Go on... I'll wait right here..... (insert some sort of pretend fancy elevator music ;)

If you got an answer, even if it feels like a crazy one (i.e. "I need some orange juice.") do your best to honor whatever came up. You might not be able to honor what came up this very second but do it as soon as you can. And after you do what your body asked you to do, close your eyes again and tap into how your body feels.

Now, if you didn't get an answer, did you actually close your eyes and ask your body what it needs?! Ok, just wanted to be sure you actually did it. If you didn't get an answer and are still confused about what you need to do to start your healing journey or to jump past the plateau that you have currently found yourself on, then I would be honored to assist you in moving forward.

Sometimes, when we are deep in confusion about what to do or how to proceed, it's best to get someone who is willing to walk through the healing journey with you.  Someone who is able to see you for where you are and where you want to go. Someone who has a bigger picture in mind and who can also see what little daily details need to be done in order to get you to where you want to go. Someone who not only cares about your health but is also trained in Holistic Health so that you can be advised of what may work best for you. It's time to take your health into your own hands and I would be honored to be your Sherpa on your healing journey!

Here is how I work with private clients in my clinic with Herbal/Nutrition Consultations:

Herbal/Nutrition Consultation sessions are available in person at the clinic or distant if not in the Morgantown, WV area (via phone/Zoom/Skype/WhatsApp).

When making your appointment online, please click the "+Add a Message" tab to leave us a note as to whether your appointment will be in person or distant.

Each session is completely tailored to you and your unique specific needs. In general, we will discuss topics such as:

• Food as medicine.
• Herbs to support you along the way.
• Supplementation to bolster your health and mostly to be used temporarily or intermittently (because health is NOT found at the bottom of a bottle)!
• Sleep as medicine.
• Movement as medicine.
• Mindfulness and stress management.
• Work-Life balance.
• Holistic approaches to improving your well-being overall, and/or specifically.
• You will receive tools to maintain practices long after our sessions are through.

6 Month Program

This program provides the largest container of time necessary to make the biggest change. Healing is not a linear process. Deep healing takes time. This program is a deep dive into the finer details of the 3 Tiers of Herbal and Nutrition Mastery. Other programs and practitioners don’t offer the depth of the detail that we will uncover during our time together. This program is the key to unlock your greatest healing. This program would be ideal for:

• if you are experiencing health issues that have occurred in the past 12 months
• you are ready to heal the root causes of your health issues
• you are frustrated because no matter what you’ve done you still don’t have the results you are looking for
• you are ready to take control to become the master of your own health
• you want to add a Holistic Health Practitioner to your wellness team

This program is tailored to your unique health needs because we take time to go above and beyond your symptoms and/or diagnosis to find the root causes of your health issues. There is no one protocol or one diet that fits all. You are unique and so should be your wellness plan. Includes:

• 75 minute Holistic Intake Session to take a deep dive into your health history and discuss your personal goals.
• 60 minute Herbal/Nutritional Counseling Session scheduled a week after your Holistic Intake Session to discuss details of your health and make recommendations for immediate next steps in alignment with your goals.
• twelve 60 minute Follow Up Session scheduled two weeks after your Counseling Session and continuing every other week to discuss your progress, celebrate your wins, and support any challenges that came up with continued customization to your plan.
• includes two HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis) tests with results interpreted.
• Personalized Herbal Formulas to support your progress during our time together. Refills of your Herbal Formulas can be purchased at a discount after this package ends so that you can continue to support your health and wellbeing.

• Unlimited email support and accountability during the duration of our time together.
• Bespoke gifts, handouts, and trusted resources that support you on your journey.
• Free access to Holy SHIfT – my signature 13 week online course that happens once a year. This course teaches you the EXACT techniques that I used to MANIFEST my dream husband, my dream career, and my dream house!!

A: Short answer is a big fat NO! I practice functionally not allopathically, meaning 'X herb for Y symptom.' I don't bypass the initial consultation or give advice on the street, at the yoga studio, or even in the grocery stores for that matter because I would be doing you a huge disservice!! And... likely harm. I need to see the whole picture of you. I need to know your background, genetics, diet, exercise routine, what symptoms you have, what makes them better or worse, as well as any recent blood work that you've had done, and much more! This way I can gain all of the information that I need to help get to the root causes of your symptoms and work on addressing the terrain of the soil that those roots (root causes) are growing in. From there, diet and lifestyle modifications can be made with the assistance of herbs and possibly supplements to regain health and vitality once more! A: Yes! We are very different beings that respond to very different things and there is no 'one diet' that will serve everyone. I take a realistic, non-dogmatic approach to diet. Everyone will not get the same recommendations as your Herbal/Nutrition plan will be customized to you and your specific needs. These recommendations will likely evolve as you evolve into better health. A: NO! I don't expect you to count anything! We are going for practical and sustainability... not crash diets!! Fad diets have been proven to fail again & again. Why you ask?! Because they aren't sustainable for most folks! A: NO! I wouldn't ask you to do anything your body isn't ready for! At some point, we will talk about movement as medicine but I will offer you sustainable recommendations for where you are right now! A: Hell NO! In fact, I don't sell any supplements here at my clinic as I see that as a conflict of interest. My only concern is for your health and wellbeing... not to line my pocketbook with money from recommending you supplements that you don't need. I do NOT believe in "a pill for every ill" whether it be pharmaceutical medicine or supplements. I do NOT believe that health will be found at the bottom of a supplement or medicine bottle. I do believe that these things can help you move from deficiency to sufficiency if necessary. A: I have to answer your question with a question... "How do you eat an elephant?" The answer is one bite at a time! This is an ongoing journey. This is more like an ultra-marathon and we aren't going to conquer this in one session. We need to set expectations that we are embarking on a quest and if you stick to the quest you are going to heal. You have to trust along the way because there will be bad days, there will be good days, and there will be setbacks. The general direction that I want to see is a direction of improvement. Which sometimes in the beginning of a quest such as this may seem trivial or insignificant, but even small improvements are improvements that will lead to larger and larger improvements over time. And as much as I would love to be able to just fix this for you, I can't... and no one else can either. You have to be willing to put in the work on your healing journey. You can heal!! And I would be honored to be your Sherpa on your healing journey! A: Breathe... seriously, take 10 deep breaths right now. I promise if you do this you will feel a little better.
