Your journey home...
I've been where you sit.
Confused, lost, believing in something better but not yet seeing it.
Oppression, however subtle or overt, looks like becoming detached from our bodies, then losing touch with the very thing that makes life meaningful: our heart.
Operating from this place is a grey, numb experience. Every day the same as we find ways to escape and attempt to avoid facing how far off track we feel. We look at ourselves, and wonder:
"Wasn't it all supposed to be more beautiful than this?"
-Glennon Doyle, Untamed
If you relate... it's time to reclaim the life you were made for.
Your passions... your desires; the things that make your heart feel like it could burst and your womb space light up with joy... those are all clues about the path awaiting you.

Hormonoscope Founder & Certified WHHHP
The story is yours to write.
But there's no extra reward in going it alone.
I sat in my doctor's office year after year, seeking answers, but never getting any.
I know how crushing it feels to be told you're fine when you're definitely not fine.
I had a dream of healing my hormones. What I did not know was that it would change my entire life, my relationship to my body, and initiate me in to my most purposeful life.
Are you ready to walk YOUR path?
I offer myself in service to support your journey.
Our work together starts at identifying imbalance.
We will...
-
Discuss and take stock of your past and current health picture far deeper than you are used to at your routine OBGYN visits, then discuss any potential markers of imbalance.
-
Go in depth into areas of sleep, stress, mindset, movement, and diet to assess where to focus.
-
Set goals and create a lifestyle action plan to achieve better, lasting health.
As a certified Women's Holistic Hormone Health Practitioner, I have the knowledge to walk you through an assessment; we'll use a Holistic lens to see where the root of imbalance may lie.
We will move forward with the connections made to create a customized Holistic wellness plan, using lifestyle medicine and incremental habit shift techniques.
I specialize in caring for women who are making the shift off of hormonal birth control, and are seeking options to manage or enhance their fertility.
"I'm accepting the challenge to approach my life as the greatest art I will ever create.
My thoughts and words are the paint, and my feelings and actions are the brush.
-Toni Jones, Affirmation Artist

I incorporate wisdom learned from master life coaches, herbalists, doctors, functional medicine experts, yogic intimacy, Ayurveda, entrepreneurship, my relationship to God and Goddess, and my lived experience with walking this path.
At the core, our goal is creating a mindset of self-trust, and self-love. Only then can we truly bring the body out of dis-ease.
I know this work is life-changing because I've lived it, and I am currently living it.

Cyclical Eating Experience
A support option for women in all walks of life
This is where it's time to examine your relationship to food.
How are you already eating?
What fuels you, and brings you joy?
I will teach you a valuable skill; how to prepare hormonally supportive and seasonally appropriate meals you can recreate over and over.
In 2030, diabetes is predicted to be the 7th leading cause of death in the US.
The weight-loss industry promises results...to the tune of being valued at over $$$190 billion dollars in 2019...
Anxiety and depression grow more common than ever and yet... there is hope

Food. It is either medicine, or poison, depending on how you use it.
These days, it is not uncommon for us to have forgotten the ancestral skills of preparing our own foods.
It's almost certain that you were never taught about how to support your hormones with food. I want to bridge that gap together.
I have eliminated my own Pre-Menstrual Symptoms and enjoy pain-free cycles. I am healing my body through the foods I eat each day, and I know this is possible for you too.
Thanks to the practice of Cycle Syncing, I have been able to support my body post long term birth control and reverse a Menstrual Disorder post-copper IUD.
Again, our aim is to promote balance.
In a balanced state, the body releases weight without restriction or fear.
Together, we will break out of negative patterns with a positive mindset shift; not a diet, or fad.
During our time together, I will show you how to make beautiful meals you enjoy that are full of clean ingredients that boost your overall wellness. Once our experience ends, you will walk away with a deeper understanding of cyclical eating and meeting your body's needs for each season.
