Work With Me 

Support for Children, Families, and Individuals Navigating Complex Health Pattern

When health challenges become complex or persistent, families often feel like they are constantly searching for answers.

​

You may have already tried many approaches, spoken with multiple providers, and still feel like something important is missing.

​

My work is designed to bring clarity, structure, and thoughtful support to that process.

​

Rather than chasing isolated symptoms, we explore the patterns that may be contributing to the bigger picture and support the body step-by-step.

How We Begin

Every client begins in the same place.

 

Phoenix Clinical Path Assessment

 

This initial consultation helps determine how your system is currently functioning and what level of support may be most appropriate.

 

During this assessment we explore:

• symptom history and patterns
• nervous system stress load
• metabolic resilience
• immune and inflammatory patterns
• sensitivity and reactivity history
• previous treatments or interventions

 

From there, we determine which care path will provide the most supportive starting point.

The Phoenix Care Paths

The Phoenix Care Pathways are different levels of guidance through the same clinical framework, allowing each individual & family to move at a pace that fits their needs.

Phoenix Jumpstart Path

Stabilize the Terrain

 

This is the starting point for many families.

The focus is on calming the system and strengthening foundational physiology before deeper investigation begins.

 

Areas of support may include:

• nervous system regulation
• lifestyle and environmental foundations
• blood sugar and metabolic stability
• mineral balance
• foundational digestive support

 

This path is especially helpful for:

• highly sensitive systems
• families new to functional wellness
• situations where the body needs stabilization first

 

​Typical duration:
6-8 weeks

Phoenix Discovery Path

Investigate Root Patterns

 

For families ready to look deeper into what may be driving symptoms.

This level often includes functional testing and more personalized guidance.

 

We begin identifying root patterns such as:

• digestive imbalances
• inflammatory drivers
• metabolic dysfunction
• immune stress patterns
• environmental influences

 

The goal is to build a clearer understanding of what the body may need next.

Typical Duration: 8 months 

Phoenix Complete Care Path 

Comprehensive Support for Complex Cases

 

This path is designed for families navigating layered or persistent health challenges who want structured long-term support.

It allows us to work through multiple stages of the Phoenix Clinical framework with careful sequencing.

 

Areas we may explore include:

• deeper root cause investigation
• targeted therapeutic strategies
• environmental optimization
• metabolic and immune monitoring
• long-term stabilization and resilience

 

This level provides the most comprehensive guidance through the full healing process.

Typical Duration: 12 -18 months
