Hormonal Health
&
Wellness Coaching
An Integrative Approach to Hormones, Nutrition & Whole-Person Health
Rooted in Functional Medicine, Eastern Asian medicine, Somatic Experience, and Trauma-Informed Care.
When you don’t feel like yourself, there’s rarely just one piece of the puzzle.
Hormonal changes can affect energy, mood, sleep, metabolism, digestion, inflammation, stress tolerance, and overall well-being.
My approach looks at how these systems work together — and helps you make sense of what your body may be telling you.
Rooted in functional medicine, health coaching, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and nervous system regulation, this work combines education, personalized support, and sustainable lifestyle change to help you move toward greater balance and well-being.
The Body Map Journey
Your symptoms don’t exist in isolation. Using a functional medicine and whole-person approach, the Body Map Journey looks at the patterns and connections between hormones, nutrition, metabolism, digestion, inflammation, stress, sleep, and nervous system health.
Rather than focusing on a single symptom, we look at the bigger picture — your health history, current symptoms, lifestyle, nutrition, stress patterns, and other factors that may be influencing how you feel.
Together, we identify areas that may need additional support and create a personalized path forward that feels realistic and sustainable for your life.
Nervous System & Stress Physiology
Regulating the nervous system is the foundation. We explore stress patterns, safety, fight-flight-freeze responses, and how your body responds to pressure—so healing can begin from a place of steadiness.
Hormones & Cycle Transitions
Perimenopause, menopause, and cycle changes affect mood, sleep, temperature, libido, and emotional resilience. We support hormonal rhythms within the context of nervous system health—not in isolation.
Gut, Detox & Inflammation
Digestion, detoxification, and immune balance are deeply connected to hormones and stress. We look at gut patterns, inflammation, and detox pathways that influence energy, mood, and resilience.
Sleep, Energy & Restoration
Sleep disruption, fatigue, and burnout are signs the system needs restoration. We support circadian rhythm, adrenal recovery, and the body’s ability to truly rest and repair.
Nutrition and Metabolic Support
Nutrition support is individualized based on your symptoms, health history, lifestyle, and readiness for change. When appropriate, I incorporate elimination and reintroduction strategies based on functional medicine and Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) principles to help identify potential food triggers and better understand how nutrition may be influencing symptoms — with the goal of creating a sustainable approach rather than long-term restriction.
Metabolism, Weight Changes & Blood Sugar
Weight gain or resistance to weight loss is often a stress and hormonal signal. We address metabolism, inflammation, cravings, and blood sugar regulation in ways that support your body rather than fight it.
Once we understand where your body is asking for support, we build care around what matters most—layer by layer, at a pace your system can sustain.
How the Process Works
Assessment & Mapping
Health history, symptoms, nutrition, lifestyle, stress, hormonal patterns, available labs, and other relevant factors.
Personalized Wellness Plan
Identify priorities and develop an individualized plan that may include nutrition, AIP-informed elimination/reintroduction, lifestyle changes, herbs/supplements, and nervous-system support as appropriate.
Coaching & Implementation
This is where your NBC-HWC work really matters—education, motivational interviewing, working through barriers, building intrinsic motivation, and helping the person actually implement the recommendations.
Reassessment & Refinement
Track symptoms and progress, identify what's working, adjust what's not, and gradually refine the approach based on the person's response.

The Path We Follow
Hormonal Support is for You IF...
-
You feel like a stranger in your own body—emotionally reactive, anxious, irritable, or low in a way that doesn’t feel like “you.”
-
PMS-type symptoms seems to last half the month, your emotions feel harder or impossible to regulate, and you don’t recognize how you’re responding anymore.
-
You are deeply exhausted—bone tired—with brain fog, forgetfulness, or memory changes that make daily life feel harder than it should.
-
Weight gain, sweating, joint pain, muscle aches, or other unfamiliar symptoms have appeared, and nothing you try seems to help.
-
You crash in the afternoon, feel wired but tired, or struggle to get restorative sleep.
-
You’ve been told this is “just perimenopause or menopause,” or that nothing is wrong—leaving you to believe you simply have to endure it.
-
You sense that stress or past emotional experiences may be affecting your body now, even if no one has helped you connect those dots.
Perimenopause and menopause are not meant to be endured in silence. These changes are invitations—not failures—and with the right support, you can feel good in your body again.
Stabilize
Reduce overwhelm and bring the body back into a baseline of safety.
Rebuild
Nourish what’s depleted—sleep, digestion, minerals, adrenal reserves.
Rebalance
Support hormones, metabolism, and stress physiology together
Sustain
Turn this into a way of life—embodied habits, resilience, restoration.
