Thank you so much for visiting!

Until I learned about the Holistic Approach, I was unaware of how much our unique circumstances and life experience affect our overall health.”
The services I offer revolve around individualized care that recognizes you as a unique person, not just a set of symptoms or a health condition. Together we find ways to nurture your mind, body and spirit collectively to help you reach a balanced state, where you can manage your overall health.
“As someone who grew up without health insurance I developed a tendency to look to home remedies and natural methods, thanks to my Mom, which later led to my interest and career in Holistic Health.”
A new beginning…
I spent years searching for a solution to my chronic pain. Multiple encounters with dismissive health professionals who downplayed my symptoms led to a misdiagnosis. The misdiagnosis made it harder for me to get the care that I needed and caused me to be lost in the system for a decade.
A holistic approach to health, and personalized nutrition was what finally helped me resolve my symptoms. It was this experience along with witnessing very similar situations of loved ones admitted into the healthcare system, that propelled me into this work. I sat by frustrated with the process, with how much falls through the cracks.
“I felt a push to do something, find a way to fill in the cracks, and provide a supportive element that was outside of mainstream healthcare. It was from this desire The Nutrition Steward came to be and my new mission in life.”
There are many skilled, compassionate health professionals out there, but it can take a long time to find them and in most conventional healthcare settings, the necessary time needed to give one on one attention isn’t available. A holistic and conventional approach can work together beautifully, but the focus should always be on making each person feel seen, hopeful, heard, supported and encouraged when it comes to their health. Having someone on your healthcare team that can support you in the interim, apply a different approach and set of skills, will allow all aspects of your health to be considered. This will in turn make make you feel like you have more resources and ability to manage your health.
“One size fits all methods that are used across the board, do not honor each person’s unique biological circumstances and it can contribute to further health related issues.”
Medications and treatments may help mitigate symptoms but they can only go so far. When there is no attempt to uncover the source or origin of a health condition or symptom it keeps many in an endless cycle.
“I began to clearly see the difference between discovering the origin of symptoms versus simply treating and attempting to cover up symptoms; the latter seemed to be the most common in mainstream healthcare.”
My work is solely devoted to crafting personalized plans with nutrition and lifestyle recommendations that honor each person’s unique needs. If you feel a gentle, methodical, holistic approach to health would serve you well, I would love to support you.
