Hi, I’m Sara,
Functional Nutritionist
Board Certified Holistic Health Practitioner
Functional Hormone + Blood Chemistry Specialist
I specialize in reproductive, hormone & holistic health, and identifying root causes- with a passion for fertility, preconception, pregnancy, and postpartum.
I believe health begins in the home. I help educate and empower women & couples on how to best support their body and their family in a sustainable way.
My philosophy is simple. Every system in the body is connected; when something is disconnected it shows up as symptoms. Ultimately, “infertility” is a symptom. Understanding what the body is communicating to us through those symptoms and addressing the root causes, versus simply masking it with a bandaid approach, is viewing our health through a long-term lens. It means learning how to work with our body to create resiliency, so it can do what it was designed to do.
When we are in good connection, we feel more vibrant, energized, clear headed, and confident. Our mood, focus, digestion, skin, sleep, and weight improves. It can allow us to truly enjoy life, especially while growing life.
Our bodies are always trying to heal and thrive, and I trust that by supporting it intentionally through holistic nutrition and lifestyle, it can do just that.
My Story
My journey into health began gradually many years ago but truly solidified when I became pregnant with my son. I was surprised to learn that nutritional counseling was not a standard part of prenatal care outside the realm of taking a basic prenatal multivitamin. Any “common” pregnancy symptom is either shrugged off as normal or masked with an over-the-counter “bandaid” usually filled with toxins and chemicals. I was more interested in understanding what the messages were that my body was sending and how to support my body, and baby, holistically.
The more women I connected with, the more I learned how little support and education are given to new moms that can truly make a difference; especially with nutrient status, mindset, proper breastfeeding support and how this can all can impact our experience, healing and recovery. I realized that our current healthcare system does not prepare, educate or prioritize the importance of understanding our health status and addressing root causes prior to conception at all. The current model is more of a “good luck and come back in a year if you still can’t get pregnant” or there’s another problem.
This is when I knew I had to become part of the change.
