About Me
​
​
Friend Functional Wellness was born from my personal journey and deep passion for helping others overcome their most challenging health struggles. I’m excited to share how it can transform your life.
My commitment to wellness is rooted in a very personal story. My daughter’s battle with multiple autoimmune conditions, seizures, and life-threatening anaphylaxis pushed me to search for answers when traditional medicine fell short. This journey opened my eyes to the incredible power of functional and holistic wellness. I learned that true healing begins by addressing the root causes of illness, not just masking the symptoms. This transformative experience shaped both my personal and professional mission: to guide others on their path to lasting wellness.
​
At Friend Functional Wellness, I specialize in personalized wellness plans, functional testing, and holistic approaches, with a focus on two key areas:
​
Supporting Children:
My heart is with children who, like my own daughter, face sudden, unexplained changes in behavior, mood, and health. These children deserve a healing approach that uncovers the underlying causes of their symptoms. I provide comprehensive assessments, functional testing, and customized wellness plans that empower parents to help their children thrive and regain their vitality.
As a mother who has navigated the exhaustion, uncertainty, and overwhelm of caring for a chronically ill child, I know exactly how challenging the journey can be. That’s why I’m dedicated to helping both the child and the parent. My holistic approach empowers moms to reduce their stress and anxiety, so they can support their child from a place of strength and resilience. Together, we’ll guide your family toward healing, balance, and renewed joy.
Empowering Women: I also specialize in helping women who struggle with chronic exhaustion, weight gain, brain fog, digestive discomfort, joint pain, and inflammation. Like many of my clients, I’ve been there myself, and I know how debilitating these symptoms can be. My mission is to take women from pain to power, using personalized wellness solutions that create long-term health and vitality.
At Friend Functional Wellness, my priority is making sure every woman and child feels heard, supported, and empowered throughout their health journey. Imagine living without the weight of chronic health issues, and your child’s health being truly understood and managed with care.
If traditional medicine has left you searching for answers for yourself or your child, a personalized, functional approach could be the solution you’ve been looking for. I’d love to connect and explore how we can work together to achieve optimal health for you and your family.
I look forward to helping you and your loved ones embrace a healthier, happier life.
With warmest regards,
