It started with a girl and a pool. No but really.

I swam competitively through high school (and by swam I mean lived and breathed chlorine) — and thus earned a full-ride scholarship to NC State University. It was there I led my team, broke multiple school records (some still standing, hey!), and became a 5-time NCAA All-American. I also was a member of the U.S. National Team, both in the pool and for Open Water. I traveled the world competing in 10km racing (which is also known as “Marathon Swimming”)— just barely missing out on qualifying for the Olympic Team in 2020, but going on to receive a World Championship medal in the 5k in South Korea in 2019 (and discovered my love of fermented foods). One of my proudest moments and the pinnacle of my endurance swimming career.

But here's what no medal could teach me: discipline alone doesn’t equal vitality. Oof.
Swimming definitely forged my inner masculine. I was all grit, power, drive. But it took me years after this to learn that -healing? Healing demanded that I reclaim the feminine. I had to unlearn so much. I lacked the soft, the cyclical, the earthy, the restorative.

That’s when everything shifted.

I earned my Bachelor’s in Human Nutrition and went on to complete a Master’s in Human Physiology at NC State while I was still swimming. But I knew the real education wouldn’t come from textbooks, it would come from nature.

So I began my doctoral studies in natural medicine, where I received my ND degree in 2025 from the National University of Natural Medicine in Portland, Oregon. This included four long years of classroom and clinical education, and many grueling hours later, I find myself here with you. And even now, with years of “science” behind me, I still feel like I have so much to learn. The decentralized and esoteric schools of thought I found along the way really shaped my vast interest in learning about energy beyond what modern medicine teaches us. And now I take a Venusian approach to healing: detoxifying what dulls the radiance, nourishing what wants to rise.

I believe we heal when we realign with nature. Sunlight before screens, real raw foods over medications (not medical advice, okay, this is just my blog post from the heart!! You get my point)

And I’m still deep in it. Still going inward. Still peeling back the layers. The work isn’t linear. I don’t think I’ll ever stop learning. That’s why working with me will probably always look DIFFERENT. Because I’m always learning and you’re a unique story coming to me in a different season all the time.

I pull from a wild, inspired toolkit: vitalism, quantum biology, herbalism, terrain theory, homeopathy, esotericism, the teachings of Rudolf Steiner, planetary medicine, and somatic dialogue with the soul. I see the body as a vessel for spirit, the symptoms as messages, and nature as the original physician.

I’m not here to “fix” you.
I’m here to help you remember.

Come walk with me.
