You’re not crazy, and it’s not all in your head.
If you’ve been told your labs are “normal” while you still feel exhausted, bloated, off, or just not like yourself — you’re in the right place. I help you find the root cause of your symptoms and build a real path back to feeling well.

Does This Sound Like You?


You’ve done the appointments and the tests. Conventional medicine is a gift for acute care — but it isn’t built to spend hours tracing the why behind everyday symptoms that don’t show up on a standard lab. That’s the space I work in. Whether you are striking out on your own or have a medical team you love, I meet you where you are

  • Bloating & gut issues

    Bloating, discomfort, gas, heartburn, or foods that just don’t sit right anymore.

  • Exhausted, foggy & told you’re “fine”

    Bone-deep tired, brain fog, and thyroid concerns like Hashimoto’s — even when your labs come back “normal.”

  • Weight that won’t budge

    When the scale won’t move no matter what you try, because stubborn weight is often a sign of something deeper — thyroid, hormones, or blood sugar.

  • Skin that flares from the inside out

    Because what shows up on your skin usually starts somewhere within.

  • Cycles, mood & hormone shifts for men and women

    Women ~ PMS, perimenopause, irregular cycles, and feeling ruled by your hormones. Men ~ Lack of motivation that just wasn’t there before.

  • Nourished through pregnancy & beyond

    Whether you’re dreaming of a baby or already expecting — pre-conception, every trimester, and into postpartum. Supporting couples at every stage

Nourished Through Every Trimester


Pregnancy changes everything — and what you eat is quite literally building a whole new person. Whether you’re queasy and wiped out in the first trimester, focused on growing a strong, healthy baby, or getting your body ready for birth and breastfeeding, I’m here to walk with you at every stage and into postpartum.

As a Registered Dietitian and Perinatal Childbirth Educator who is Bradley Birth Trained and currently works in a major health care agency, I care for the whole journey — mom, baby, and birth — body, mind, and heart.

How We Restore Your Health

As Functional Nutrition Practitioners, we’re dedicated to restoring your health through three steps:

1. Prioritize — There’s an order to healing.
2. Discover — Identify what’s causing your body to be imbalanced.
3. Customize — A protocol tailored to you.

Diving a little deeper into each step:

1. Prioritize. We honor the body’s priority to heal. There’s an order to healing — and your body has an innate ability, and desire, to rebound, renew, and rebuild.

2. Discover. We identify what’s causing the imbalance and confusing your immune system — what’s preventing or blocking you from healing? We look at the whole picture: objective data, your symptoms, and your life and emotional landscape.

3. Customize. A protocol tailored to you, using the core tools of diet, lifestyle, and — if needed — supplements. Because you are what you can absorb and process.

Hi! I’m Sara

I’m a nature girl and a health crisis survivor — a quiet, peaceful surfer, mountain lover, and desert wildflower finder. I know how it feels to be unwell and unheard, because I walked that road and found my own way back. Now I help others do the same.

Conventional medicine and functional nutrition each do something different — and you get to decide how they fit together for you. I help fill the gap between your symptoms and their root cause, working alongside you.
