Hi, I’m Maureen!

Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP), Restorative Wellness Practitioner, and Certified Functional Medicine Health Consultant.

I help health-minded people fix their digestive issues and energy problems so they can get back to feeling well and living their best lives.

My experience with digestive problems, autoimmune diseases, pre-diabetes, and severe osteopenia showed me that the traditional medical system is not set up to support optimal health. It waits until you’re sick enough to be diagnosed and then gives you prescriptions to manage your disease.

My personal health challenges led me to functional nutrition.

When I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism my doctor gave me a prescription. He didn’t spend time explaining that my hypothyroidism was caused by Hashimoto's Thyroiditis — an autoimmune disease (AI). He didn’t tell me anything about what could have led to my AI disease, what could be done to reverse it, or that having one AI disease put me at greater risk for another — unless I did something to address the root cause of the first disease.

I dutifully took my medicine and didn't think much of my diagnosis until a DEXA Bone Scan years later revealed that I was also losing bone density and on the road to osteoporosis. Only then did I discover the underlying connections between these seemingly distinct diagnoses, as well as the IBS-type symptoms I experienced years earlier.

If you’re living in fear of breaking a hip or your spine, I know how that feels. I was there once, too.

Turns out there are MANY things you can do — besides or in addition to using medication — to prevent, reverse or minimize many chronic diseases.

The place to start is often food.

Beyond that, we also have to examine whether the body is processing and utilizing food properly. Becoming an NTP focused on functional nutrition armed me with the knowledge and skills I needed to rid myself of horrible stomach pain (the kind that makes you double over!), reverse my prediabetes, uncover the root cause of my bone loss, and support my thyroid health.

Are you battling with health symptoms and feeling gaslighted by the medical system? I can help.

I can help uncover and address nutritional imbalances and lifestyle practices that lie at the root of health problems.

Good health allows you to show up in the world as the best version of yourself.

It would be a pleasure to support you in making sustainable dietary and lifestyle changes so you, too, can bring your body back into balance and progress toward optimal wellness.

Let’s talk about putting my experiences and training to work for you!
