Co-Founder & Supervising Wellness Advisor

"True wellness is about balance in your body, mind, and environment. My role is to help make that balance accessible."

About Me

With over 15 years of experience in healthcare, my journey has taken me from the military to functional medicine, but my focus has always remained the same: helping people optimize their health. I began my career as a U.S. Navy corpsman, later working as a medical-surgical nurse and IV infusion manager in functional medicine before becoming an Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner. Over time, I was drawn to a more integrative, root-cause approach to wellness.

At Healing Masters, I work alongside Sarah as a Supervising Wellness Advisor, ensuring she has the ability to offer functional lab testing and high-quality practitioner-grade supplements to clients. While I stay behind the scenes, I provide functional blood chemistry analysis insights as needed, helping uncover patterns in lab work that guide personalized wellness strategies.

My personal health journey and experiences supporting Sarah through complex health challenges—including Lyme disease, mold illness, and environmental toxicities—have shaped my understanding of wellness beyond conventional medicine. I've seen firsthand the power of detoxification, low-toxin living, and holistic approaches in restoring balance and expanding one’s healing potential.

Now, my role is to bridge the gap between functional medicine and holistic health, ensuring Sarah has the tools and resources she needs to provide comprehensive, integrative wellness support to clients. While I may not work directly with clients right now, I make sure you have access to advanced lab testing and professional-grade wellness solutions that go beyond symptom management, and support Sarah to deliver the best possible coaching experiences.
