My struggles began as a teenager, about six years into my circus training (yes, I started young!) I had no idea what to eat or how to fuel my body properly. On top of this, I developed an eating disorder which I struggled with in silence for seven years. In my twenties I slowly but surely shifted my mindset and recovered, but began to have chronic hives and GI symptoms. When I was 25 I was doing an intensive circus training program in NYC. Still struggling, I was inspired to go back to college for a second bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science, and completed my master’s degree in 2023 in Functional Medicine and Human Nutrition. Through everything I learned, I was able to heal and restore my body. It was a long journey, but the knowledge, depth, wisdom and understanding I gained are immeasurable. Through functional medicine and evidence-based practice, in tandem with the wisdom that comes from first hand experience, I aim to guide others towards restored health and optimal wellness.
