About

What is Rising Tide to you? 

Rising Tide Wellness is more than a practice. It’s a community centered around healing, connection, and transformation. It’s a place where you are welcomed as you are and supported in becoming who you’re meant to be. Here, healing goes beyond symptoms and into every aspect of life, creating space for true, lasting change.

Tell us about your education and training

My background is in Integrative Nutrition and Health Coaching. For the past six years, I’ve worked closely with clients to improve all aspects of their health. I take a holistic approach—looking beyond what’s on the plate to also address movement, sleep, stress, and relationships. My goal is to help bridge the gap between where individuals are and where they want to be, so they can experience true, lasting fulfillment.

How do you take care of yourself?
Taking care of myself is non-negotiable so I can show up fully for both my life and my clients. I start each day with gratitude and devotional time to set a positive tone. I love moving my body through running, strength training, yoga, and long walks. I also enjoy reading, listening to podcasts, prioritizing sleep (I’m a big fan of a 9 p.m. bedtime), and cooking nourishing meals for myself and the people I love.

What areas in your life do you see opportunities for growth?
I believe there is always room for growth in every area of life. Growth is a lifelong commitment, and currently, I’ve been especially focused on deepening my relationships and fostering meaningful connections. As Mark Hyman says, “What makes life meaningful is our relationships, our family, and our community.”

Why Functional Medicine?

Functional Medicine is a natural fit for me. Not only did it transform my own health, but I’ve also witnessed its profound impact on individuals who previously felt let down by conventional approaches. By identifying root causes and addressing key lifestyle factors, Functional Medicine creates meaningful, lasting change.

Your family

I’m not married yet, but I have an amazing partner who feels like family. I’m also incredibly close with my friends and siblings, and I adore my niece and nephew – who I spoil as if they were my own. I look forward to building a family of my own one day!
