About Me
A Calling Rooted in Faith
Healing, to me, has always been both practical and sacred. I’ve long believed that everything we need for optimal health has already been provided by our Creator—and that the body, when supported with the right tools, knows exactly how to heal. This belief ultimately led me to pursue naturopathic medicine and dedicate my life to helping others heal through holistic, evidence-based care.
A Passion for Nutrition and Transformation
I completed my training at the Boucher Institute of Naturopathic Medicine in British Columbia and have been vegan for over 20 years. Nutrition has always played a central role in my personal and professional life. However, I also saw how challenging it was for many people to implement lasting diet and lifestyle changes on their own.
As a result, I was inspired to create immersive retreat experiences and accessible at-home programs. These offerings are designed not only to educate but also to help people embody sustainable habits that truly support long-term healing.
Training and Clinical Approach
My clinical foundation includes advanced training in medically supervised water fasting from the True North Health Center in California. Since then, I’ve developed an integrative approach that includes:
-
Therapeutic fasting coaching
-
Functional nutrition and lifestyle medicine
-
Personalized detox programs
- Semaglutide Injections for weight loss
-
NAD+ IV medical detox
-
IV therapy for energy, immunity, and recovery
Together, these tools allow me to support each patient in a personalized way—whether they’re transitioning off medications, managing chronic illness, or simply looking to reclaim their energy and clarity.
What I Want Every Patient to Know
When someone walks into my office or joins one of my programs, I want them to feel truly heard. More importantly, I want them to walk away with hope—and with confidence in their body’s God-given wisdom and ability to heal.
Life Outside the Clinic
Outside of my clinical work, I’m grounded by a daily prayer practice, long walks with my sweet old dog Kale, and a steady rotation of podcasts—health, theology, and everything in between. I also share life with my husband and four amazing stepchildren who keep me joyfully busy and always growing.
Today, I feel blessed to serve others as a naturopathic doctor in Kailua-Kona, where I offer personalized care that honors the design of the body and the wisdom of its Creator.
My Values & Beliefs
The Power of Nature to Heal
I believe that the body, when given the right conditions, has an incredible capacity to heal itself. Through natural therapies, fasting, and whole foods, we can unlock this innate ability and restore balance.
