HELPING YOU SOLVE YOUR HEALTH PUZZLE.
When you're drowning in a sea of symptoms, the 7 minutes and a prescription for something that masks symptoms instead of solving them simply doesn't cut it.
I've opted out of that model, because it doesn't work. Women are (wonderfully) complex creatures, and our body chemistry *literally* looks different every.single.day. All systems need to be GO for us to be the vibrant, clear-eyed, energetic passion players we were designed to be.
Me? I'm part health private investigator (I LOVE to start lining up health clues like a good mystery novel), part pitbull (I seriously will.not.let.go of a challenge), part ultimate health & happiness partner (I'm super committed to walking with my clients every step of the way).
If you're fed up with the status quo, and ready to go brass tacks with some investigation, tenacity, and partnership, let's chat. I promise to take the time to actually LISTEN.
CLIENT STORIES
“I came to Christine exhausted from overwork and eating badly--living off of baked goods and coffee because I didn't have time to cook, and feeling tired all the time because of a lack of nutrition. Christine took the time to understand exactly what I could handle, and she has given me amazing advice on how to eat well under time constraints. My body was clearly craving this change. Now I wake up every morning singing a little happy song and I have at least twice as much energy as sad-overcaffeinated me had before.”

SPECIALTIES
THYROID DISORDERS
Conventional thyroid assessment is woefully inadequate. Whether you've had the typical single-marker analysis done and been told that everything is "normal"--but you still feel like things are off--or you've been diagnosed with a specific condition like hypothyroidism or Hashimoto's, or you just have a feeling it might be your thyroid and want to find out how to get a comprehensive analysis and rebalancing plan, I've got you. Let's talk!
WOMEN'S HORMONAL IMBALANCES
Hormonal imbalance can present in a LOT of different ways. Some common ones are:
Exhaustion
Brain fog
Menstual irregularities (super short or super long cycles, heavy bleeding or clotting, pain with ovulation)
Irritability
PMS with or without cramps
PCOS or non-PCOS ovarian cysts
Tender or fibrous breast tissue
Fibroids
Infertility
Endometriosis
Stubborn weight gain
Urinary issues
The conventional approach is to slap the birth control pill on most of these, sometimes with a sidecar of an anti-depressant. These approaches MAY reduce symptoms (though often they do not), but they don't resolve the root causes of imbalance, and could make things worse in the long-term. Holistic hormone balancing resolves at the root for long-term, permanent success.
DIGESTIVE DISTURBANCES AND INFLAMMATORY DISORDERS
Did you know that our digestive systems are regulated by their very own set of hormones? Everything from hunger and fullness to how fast food moves (or doesn't move) through your digestive tract has a hormonal component, because hormones are chemical messengers directing the activity of almost every system in the body.
If you've been experiencing gas, bloating, heartburn/reflux, constipation, IBS, painful digestion, or even conditions like Crohn's and Celiac, functional lab assessement and holistic healing strategies are proven to be effective in resolving the root cause of imbalance and allowing your body to heal.

HAPPY CLIENTS
“This wasn't just a "eat this" type of course. It was really about your whole wellness and shifting ideas around food. I needed this so badly. After struggling for what feels like forever to eat well and bombarding myself with information, Christine's approach of FINDING WHAT WORKS FOR YOUR BODY felt so simple, yet profound. It used to feel like a punishment to eat healthy - something I had to do but didn't really enjoy all the time. I'm so happy to be thinking of things with excitement towards how well I can nourish myself, instead. She is amazingly knowledgeable and really wants to help people heal. I wish I'd found her a long, long time ago.”
