Functional Diagnostic Nutrition PRactitioner (FDNP)

You know that feeling of looking completely capable on the outside — while internally feeling wired, bloated, exhausted, and one stressful week away from crashing?

I know it intimately.

Twenty years ago, anxiety ran my life. I remember standing outside a store, heart racing, convincing myself I could just walk in — and then turning around and going back to my car. I battled severe eczema, IBS, heavy cycles, and sleep disruption. But my labs were “normal.” I was told to reduce stress. Eat less. Try harder.

So I did.

Nothing changed.

When I finally ran comprehensive functional labs, the story shifted. My body wasn’t broken — it was under-resourced. As I rebuilt foundational physiology, my anxiety softened, my skin cleared, and my system stabilized.

For the first time, I felt steady.

Years later, after a cross-country move and multiple family medical crises, my nervous system collapsed into survival mode again. I was still functioning. But I was disappearing.

That’s when I realized:

I wasn’t a hard case. I was an overloaded system being pushed through protocols I didn’t have the capacity to tolerate.

No protocol works in a dysregulated body.

That realization became my framework.
And that framework became The RISE Method™ — a regulation-first approach that rebuilds biological resilience before chasing symptoms.Today, I help high-performing women restore the stability, clarity, and resilience their ambition requires.

This isn’t about becoming someone new.
It’s about restoring the woman you know you are — when your body is steady.

Functional Diagnostic Nutrition is referred to as an “opt in model of self care”. That means that I am not a licensed health professional. I don’t diagnose, treat, or prescribe. I’m a teacher and a guide, and I can teach you how to know your body so well that you can confidently become your own health practitioner.
