About Me

Hi, I'm Cory

I'm a Certified Functional Nutrition Counselor and Integrative Health Coach dedicated to helping women with chronic health challenges find their path to lasting wellness.

I believe you deserve more than generic advice. You deserve someone who will truly listen, look at the whole picture, and help you understand YOUR unique body.

My Story

I know what it feels like to be dismissed. To be told "your labs look fine" when you know something is wrong. To feel like you're doing everything right but still feel terrible.

For years, I struggled with hormonal imbalances and autoimmune challenges that conventional medicine couldn't fully explain or resolve. I dealt with fatigue, digestive issues, brain fog, and a body that just didn't feel like my own. I was young, I was "healthy on paper"—but I knew something wasn't right.

The turning point came when I discovered that my symptoms had led to bone loss—something that should never happen to a woman my age. It was a wake-up call. I realized that if I'd had the right support earlier, so much of this could have been prevented.

"If I'd had someone who looked at the whole picture—my symptoms, my lifestyle, my unique body—things could have been different. That's the support I wanted. And now, it's the support I provide."

I dove deep into functional nutrition and integrative health. I learned how interconnected our body systems are—how hormones affect digestion, how stress affects hormones, how food can be medicine when it's personalized to your needs.

Through this journey, I was able to put my PCOS into remission. I transformed my energy, my digestion, my relationship with my body. And I became passionate about helping other women do the same.

Today, I work with women who are tired of feeling stuck, confused, and dismissed. Women who are ready to stop guessing and start understanding what their unique body truly needs.

My Approach

How I Work

My approach is integrative, compassionate, and deeply personalized. Here's what that looks like in practice.

Personalized & Compassionate

No cookie-cutter plans. I get to know YOU—your symptoms, your story, your life—and create a plan that actually fits.

Functional Nutrition

I look at root causes, not just symptoms. We address the underlying imbalances that are keeping you stuck.

Nervous System Support

Healing happens when your body feels safe. We work on calming the nervous system alongside nutrition.

Gentle Herbalism

When appropriate, I incorporate gentle, supportive herbs that have been used for centuries to support women's health.

Mindful Eating

It's not just what you eat—it's how. We cultivate presence and pleasure in nourishing your body.

Accountability & Support

Change is hard. I'm here to support you between sessions, answer questions, and keep you on track.
