I live in Berlin, MA but I'm originally from the North Shore. I moved to central MA when I met my husband in 2016.

I created Intricate Wellness with a mission to help women feel vibrant and well daily. I struggled with many health problems including fatigue for as long as I can remember and was constantly told my primary care providers that I was ``fine`` because my lab work looked fine. I discovered functional medicine in 2020 and it has completely changed my life. I realized that there were, in fact, biochemical imbalances causing my fatigue and many other issues that could be corrected through optimizing nutrition and targeted supplementation and without prescription medications. I now want to pass along my knowledge and empower women to not settle and continue to deal with not feeling their best daily!

Success is being able to help a client overcome their health issues and feel amazing daily.

Having the self confidence to put myself out there has been my biggest challenge.

Seeing other successful business women has really inspired me to move forward with my business and has given me confidence that I can also be a successful business woman.

Finishing my Applied Functional Medicine Certification was a huge moment in my career. I found this area of medicine that I was extremely passionate about and I worked extremely hard completing this program while working at a busy clinic and having 2 young children. Completing this certification really proved to myself that I had the knowledge to be able to help people who were struggling with ongoing health issues and could make a difference.

I am a wife and mom to 2 girls ages 4 and 6. I love to travel to places with warm weather and beautiful beaches. My 2 daily acts of self care in my little free time are exercising and reading.

I think having integrity is something that has really set me apart as a nurse practitioner. I feel like I have always practiced differently than my peers. I have always been honest with my patients in telling them what is going on with their bodies or causing them symptoms and have never been one to quickly prescribed medications for illness (essentially I was practicing root cause medicine before I really knew what it was). With my functional medicine practice I have tried every supplement and used every functional lab test on myself prior to recommending them for my patients. I think it is important to know and understand how things work prior to advising others on them.
