My journey
THE SHINE LAB is the result of my own personal journey with health and wellness. I know first hand the struggles with weight, fatigue, and overall poor health. I am proud of how far I have come in my own life and am passionate about using my personal experiences along with the tools and knowledge that I have gained over the years in helping others to create their shining best lives.
I work hard and I play hard and I understand trying to "have it all" or to "make it all work". I also understand what the reality looks like. I have taken an interesting and winding path on this journey to self discovery so that I can best help others, and I am excited to have the opportunity to work with you.

I have spent the last 8 years studying and and gaining clinical real world experience in mutliple modalities to help provide the most holistic approach to help my clients the best way possible.
I keep up in the latest clinical and evidence based studies as well as tap into industry resources as a proud Professional Member of some of the trail blazing organizations who are bringing the Functional Medicine and Holistic Nutrition services to the forefront to increase the legal scope of practice: The National Association of Nutrition Professionals, The American Nutrition Association, and The Institute for Functional Medicine.
But what does that mean to you?
We need to honor the totality of your life. This is not about me, it is always about you. You are not just the food on your plate and neither is working with me. We will employ different modalities ranging from meditation to orthopedic exercises when appropriate, and explore alternatives far off the plate to ensure your success!
I look at functional health through the Food + Spirit lens, helping my clients to create a shining life filled with energy and a connection to their whole self. As a functional nutritionist, I value my clients time and story and honor the path that they are on as individuals. There is no one size fits all approach to wellness, and at The Shine Lab, I hope to create a virtual space that allows for total transformation of mind, body and spirit!

- I work with people who suffer from any number of symptoms, and I help to uncover the root cause by taking the time needed to ask questions, listen, research, and find connections. I DO NOT DIAGNOSE.
- I provide ongoing support and adjustments as we look to address the root cause, understanding that the body has many physiological connections and the framework will be fluid as we see the body responding. I DO NOT TREAT.
- I look at your health history, habits, signs and symptoms, and lifestyle to provide individual advice that’s right for your body – because no two people are alike. I DO NOT PRESCRIBE.
- I believe in ongoing care, because one appointment does not allow us to get the full picture. I take the time needed to gather information and put the connections together, while using regular follow-ups to make adjustments based on your body’s response. Addressing the root cause takes time and I’m willing to give it that – but you have to be willing to also.
- I take a holistic approach to healing (because your body isn’t built on food alone!) by addressing lifestyle, diet, and fitness. I recommend testing and supplements when needed, but they are always optional.
- I can work with your current medial care professional to make sure that any interventions or suggestions are not contra-indicated and are in full support of your total health. This is a huge benefit about working with a Functional Nutritionist, we are partners in your health care team!
