Years ago, I was told my symptoms had no clear cause and that nutrition wouldn’t make a difference. I went from being active and thriving to being wheelchair-bound, unable to care for myself, and suffering from relentless symptoms that no doctor could explain. Test after test came back “normal,” yet my body was shutting down. Some doctors told me it was all in my head. Others prescribed medications that only masked my symptoms. I felt unheard, dismissed, and desperate for answers.

After years of frustration, my family and I refused to give up. We searched beyond traditional medicine, and that’s when I discovered the transformative power of integrative and functional medicine. Through targeted dietary changes, gut healing, and a root-cause approach, I slowly began to regain my strength, reduce my symptoms, and take back control of my health.

I soon realized that my journey wasn’t unique—countless others were struggling with unexplained symptoms, misdiagnoses, and a system that only treated surface-level issues. That realization fueled my passion to help others find answers when they’ve been told there are none. As a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, I founded Balance Blue Collective to provide the education, personalization, and support needed to heal from within.

I believe nutrition belongs at the center of healthcare, and I am committed to helping you uncover the root causes of your symptoms and find sustainable solutions through a science-backed, integrative approach—so you can stop chasing temporary relief and start truly thriving. Your body was designed to heal, and I’m here to help you make that happen.
