About me

I am an herbalist, nutritionist, and functional medicine healer based in New York City. Working within the time-tested wisdom of herbal medicine and the cutting edge of research-based practice, I help my clients integrate their layered stories and discover their personal paths to vibrant health.

I came to this work through my own chronic health challenges, when oversimplified diagnoses and cookie-cutter solutions fell flat. By weaving together my scattered health story, I found a path that took me from fearing food to embracing life.

I am a licensed nutritionist in New York and Minnesota, and hold an M.S. in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine from University of Western States. On the side, I write evidence-based courses and articles with microbiome researcher Lucy Mailing PhD. In addition to the healing arts, I am a certified Deep Listening instructor and a lifelong musician and dancer.

My approach

I begin by listening. Nobody knows you better than you, and if we listen together we might learn even more. I work across knowledge systems––biochemistry, microbiome science, herbalism, energetics––and body systems to inform personalized approaches for promoting our natural ability to heal. This typically involves combinations of herbs, foods, diet, nutrients, and/or lifestyle interventions, unique for you.

I practice in the domain of Functional Medicine, a contemporary name for a timeless philosophy: support the whole person, honor the interconnectedness of the body (and all things), seek balance, and pursue health as a positive vitality.

Ready to make an investment in your health? Schedule a free 15-minute call to explore what we can do together:


All clients begin with an initial consultation, where we work to assemble your health story. This is the longest session, typically 75 minutes. I’ll ask you to share about your life history, health goals, eating patterns, and symptoms, and we'll discuss the body-mind-spirit narrative that emerges. I will provide you with my initial personalized recommendations—a combination of food, herbs, nutrients, and/or lifestyle strategies unique for you, as well as any additional inquiries that will help our work together (lab tests, food journals, etc). Everything will be outlined in detail in the protocol I send after the visit.

We will also make a plan for next steps. I offer tiered memberships to support a mutual investment in your health. Every therapeutic protocol is designed to evolve, to meet the conditions of your life and nurture your body through its every phase of healing. My ultimate goal is not just to help you find a more vibrant health, but to empower you with the tools you need to make it last. Deep healing takes time, and its fruits will endure far longer.

A note on insurance and cost:

Taking the step into natural healing is an investment, one I hope will pay dividends for life. Insurance companies do not typically cover in-depth, personalized nutrition care. However, I am happy to write a superbill in case your insurance company is able to reimburse you.

In my recommendations, budget-flexible options are always possible. Most lab tests I recommend can be covered by insurance. Many herbs and supplements I recommend, as well as any additional testing (always optional), can be purchased with HSA/FSA funds through my providers.

Writings

I strive to be a diligent student of science, as just one of humankind’s many rigorous knowledge systems for health. In the articles and other content below, I share the fruits of some research deep-dives to distill practical tips for the curious and dispel popular, misleading narratives about health. I hope you enjoy!
