As a Family Nurse Practitioner with over 20 years of experience, my passion lies in helping you achieve your best health. I've worked extensively in cardiology and observed that true health improvements come from lifestyle changes rather than just medical treatments. This inspired me to earn a doctorate in lifestyle medicine, focusing on managing conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and obesity. I firmly believe that health is not just about the body—it's about nurturing your mental and emotional well-being too. That's why I embrace the six pillars of a healthy lifestyle: eating plant-based foods, staying active, getting good sleep, building strong relationships, avoiding harmful substances, and managing stress. By weaving these habits into your life, we can work together to transform your health for the better. I created Unlayered Health and Wellness because I’ve walked the same path many of you are on. As a busy professional, wife, and mother, I know how easy it is to put yourself last—juggling endless responsibilities while stress and unhealthy habits quietly take their toll. I’ve felt the weight of exhaustion and the frustration of being stuck in a cycle that seemed impossible to break. But here’s what I learned: true health isn’t just about diet or exercise. It’s about peeling back the layers—addressing mindset, nutrition, mental well-being, and balance. With over 20 years of nursing experience and advanced credentials, including a Doctorate in Nursing Practice focused on Lifestyle Medicine, I’ve helped countless individuals transform their health. At Unlayered, my mission is to empower you with the tools and guidance to build sustainable habits, nurture your mental wellness, so you can grow into the best version of yourself. I am excited to walk alongside you in your path to wellness and vitality! Treatment philosophy Holistic approach: Working on the mind, body, and soul to promote a vibrant and healthy life. I am committed to guiding my patients in optimizing their health and achieving their weight loss goals. I incorporate the 6 pillars of lifestyle medicine into my framework, which includes embracing a healthy plant-based diet, engaging in regular physical activity, improving sleep quality, fostering healthy relationships, avoiding harmful substances, and managing stress in our daily routines. By doing so, we can achieve optimal health and transformation, preventing, managing, and even reversing lifestyle-related chronic diseases. My goal is to help my patients become the best and most authentic version of themselves.
