Health is a matter of trust.
Rebuilding trust that connects us to our food, our soil, ourselves and each other.
I’m a nutrition practitioner, mom of three, and founder of DEAP ®
My foundation was built in functional health—an approach that asked better questions, looked beyond symptoms, and offered hope where conventional care often fell short. It was a critical step in expanding the conversation around chronic illness.
But over time, I saw how even the most well-intentioned models can start to mirror the systems they were meant to disrupt: complex, expensive, and provider-centered. And while the language shifted, the power dynamics often didn’t. That realization changed everything.
The way we eat shapes our future.
Let's embark on a mission together
We need a different approach
Instead of doubling down on more testing, more protocols, or more expert opinions, I chose to reimagine what support could look like—one that puts you at the center, not the practitioner. With a background in nutrition, lifestyle medicine, behavior change, and public health, I’ve returned to the method I first created 16 years ago—with sharper clarity and a deeper respect for the wisdom you carry about your own bodies. Living with chronic illness doesn’t mean you need more information—you need tools to navigate complex decisions, agency to advocate for what matters, and a model that respects your capacity to collaborate with your healthcare team.
“Rooted in personal experience and two decades of work in chronic illness, I believe true change happens when you are seen as the most powerful agent of your own care.
The DEAP® Approach is the framework designed to help you reclaim clarity, build confidence, and make sense of your own story—so you can lead the way in your care. This isn’t about handing over your power.
It’s about returning it to where it belongs—with you.
By focusing on the whole person behind the chronic disease and the challenges with overwhelm, we help you lead—bringing out the best in everyone.
An Integrative Path
We know that lifestyle factors—like nutrition, sleep, movement, stress, and relationships—play a major role in the development and progression of chronic disease. There are also opportunities. With many rare diseases persisting as chronic conditions, we must learn to weave healing and care into the fabric of everyday life.
Integrative strategies to improve health outcomes
Integrative health services are helping public health shift from treating disease to creating health and resilience — empowering individuals, improving outcomes, and making care more sustainable and inclusive.
