I have followed a very strict gluten-free diet since 2006 to manage Celiac Disease. Since this shifted my life, I became a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist in 2014, and a Monash FODMAP trained Dietitian in 2021. I also completed the SIBO Roadmap course for Dietitians to understand the complex dietary, supplement, and lifestyle management of SIBO (and have managed it twice myself!). I became a Certified Mental Health and Emotional Eating Specialist through Institute of Transformational Nutrition in 2024, a Certified Gastrointestinal Nutritionist through SIBO Academy in 2024 and a Plant-Based Coach through the Food Revolution Network in 2025. I am also a professional member of several organizations that offer continuing guidance and updates to manage health and wellness of more complex GI conditions like when someone has Diabetes, Gastroparesis, and Diverticulitis., or EDS-hypermobile with POTS and food allergies. Now I am expanding my ability to offer enhanced health and wellness guidance to those who need a little more support than just doing it on their own. I have created Heart Spirit Nutrition to offer a safe space for people of all physical sizes and bodies, all gender identities and all lifestyles to find hope, insights, and reconnect with their life-purpose not in spite of, but including, their gastrointestinal issues.

I’m a traditional naturopath and founder of Silver Lining Detox, where I help people use whole food, plant-based nutrition to support their health naturally. I work with individuals dealing with chronic illness, histamine intolerance, and complex sensitivities, creating gentle, personalized plans that meet them where they are. My approach blends practical nutrition, natural support, and emotional safety so that healing feels clear and doable—not overwhelming.

My work is rooted on my family’s century-old farm in rural Virginia, where caring for the land has shaped how I care for people. I focus on simple, sustainable steps that bring real comfort and lasting results. Whether you’re looking to ease sensitivities, improve your energy, or find a clear path forward, I’m here to help make the journey feel supportive and hopeful.

It brings me great joy that you are here and interested in a plant-based provider for your journey. I myself have always had a love of science so I obtained a B.S. in Biology. Since then, my passion for health and wellness has blossomed and continues to evolve with time.
Having encountered my own chronic health conditions, I found healing in a plant-based lifestyle accompanied with lifestyle modification.
I embarked on this journey to heal myself and now my mission and passion is to help share this information with others. As a 35 year old mother of two, I know what it’s like to lose your health but also what it is like to regain one’s quality of life. My goal is to help you improve your life and to help you give your body the support it needs to heal!

I take a holistic approach and incorporate health and wellness coaching, nutrition, and movement into my practice and my signature program. These are available on an a la carte basis but I truly believe the best approach to disease prevention and healing is a comprehensive one.

I am a licensed naturopathic physician in Arizona, California, and Vermont. I received my doctorate of naturopathic medicine from Sonoran University of Health Sciences, formerly SCNM. Born and raised in Arizona, I received a bachelor’s degree in nutritional sciences from University of Arizona in 2010. Upon graduation from Sonoran University in 2014, I completed three years of residency; two years in naturopathic family practice at Sonoran University Medical Center, followed by a one-year, highly competitive specialty residency in homeopathic medicine. After completing my residencies, I served as adjunct faculty at Sonoran University until 2021, and am now a guest lecturer there. In 2022, I earned my diplomate status in Hahnemannian homeopathy (DHANP). I also serve on the boards of the American Board of Homeopathic Medicine (ABHM) and the Homeopathic Academy of Naturopathic Physicians (HANP).

My passion lies in empowering patients to help them become the best possible version of themselves. I have a special interest in working with adults who are struggling with thyroid disorders, metabolic syndrome, anxiety, depression, and digestive disorders. I prioritize an individualized and patient-centered approach to treatment and emphasize natural therapies that stimulate the body’s innate ability to heal. I believe that this gentle, yet profound approach allows for recovery, along with a lowered predisposition to future illness. I maintain a private practice at Nourish Natural Medical Center in Phoenix, AZ, and look forward to working with you.

As a registered dietitian and a diabetes education and care specialist, I combine eastern and western principles to treat diabetes, heart diseases, weight loss and digestive health conditions. I provide culturally adapted nutrition focused recommendations focusing on cultural and traditional beliefs and practices (for example, Asian Indian, African, Spanish, East Asian, Middle Eastern,   My goal is to help YOU have:   Abundant energy Peaceful sleep Free of pain, headaches, migraines Lower blood glucose, blood pressure Lose pounds and inches So YOU can..   Spend time with your kids Be productive at work Get organized at home and work Pursue hobby Go on vacation …..without feeling guilty!
