Poor health is unlike most other problems. It affects every single element of life and you can’t ever get away from it. It follows you, day in and day out, reminding you that nothing seems to be working. At least that’s what it feels like—a constant reminder of where you’re falling short and a constant weight of worry and fear.

Not only that, but poor health brings with it that most evil of tricks—the roller coaster. Just when you think things are improving and you’re taking two steps forward, reality sends you ten steps back. You start to feel that it’s easier to stop trying than to see short-lived improvement.

We get it. We’ve been there and felt that. And we can promise you there is a way to achieve a healthy mind, body, and spirit that never goes away. We are on a mission to shift from the broken health-care system to a WellCare system that you control. 

Let Us Help You!

No matter how bad it is or how long you’ve tried to overcome your symptoms, you can get back into health.

We’re proof.

We tried all the recommended approaches, and they didn’t work for us.

That’s when we realized everything we thought we knew about getting healthy was wrong. The traditional approach focuses on isolated symptoms, missing the bigger picture of what it truly takes to transform your health.

We took matters into our own hands—learning, testing, and applying advanced strategies to regain our energy, vitality, and overall well-being. Through years of experience, we’ve developed a system that actually works.

Now, we’re here to guide you through the same process. Our approach isn’t about treating illness—it’s about helping you build a lifestyle that supports the healthiest, strongest version of yourself. No more guessing, no more dead ends—just real, lasting results.

We’ve done it. We’ve seen what’s possible. And we’re here to show you how to do it too.

Your second chance starts now. Are you ready?

This can be your second chance at the type of life you’ve always wanted to live.  

This is your chance to get the answers you need.

FxNC-2024

With our training and over 20 years of treating hundreds of clients, we specialize in helping professionals who want to live their best life but feel too lousy to show up for it to find their vitality and energy again, even if they’ve tried everything and nothing has worked.

Together we are the founders of the innovative new group practice model called the Functional Nutrition Collective which brings a group of functional medicine practitioners together to work on each client’s case to create greater wellness outcomes in shorter times.

This means you have a team of practitioners dedicated to figuring out your unique symptom puzzle. Each practitioner in the Functional Nutrition Collective (FxNC) has a desire and passion to meet you where you are, teach you how to understand the conversation your body is having with you through our proven SHAPES© system, and give you the tools and confidence you need to see sustainable changes.

“I have used the Wellness Strategy Sessions multiple times and have implemented the advice given with success! In fact, I am about to do a comprehensive dive into fully understanding my role in my wellness journey! This is a great addition to my current wellness team of physicians, therapists and my support system.”

“She worked in conjunction with my healthcare provider to provide nutritional support while healing through dietary choices and appropriate supplementation. I really value what she brings to the table and works with my current healthcare team to fill in the gaps where they just don't have the time to spend with me like I know they want to. The FxNC practitioners provide that support!”

Are You Ready to Break The Cycle?


At this point, you can follow one of two paths. First, you can move on without clicking the button below and continue doing what you’ve always done. And, chances are, you’ll continue getting what you’ve always gotten. You can continue to struggle with your health and face the challenges alone.

Or you can choose the second path.

You can choose to do something different, to stop trying to figure this out all by yourself and instead follow the lead of someone who has already figured out how to achieve the very things you want so badly. You know where you’ll be in a year if you choose to do nothing, but there’s no telling how far you’ll go in life with an expert by your side, guiding you every step of the way.

If you’re ready to turn your health around, We invite you to choose the second path, click the button below, and take the first step toward a bigger, brighter tomorrow.
