What is Functional Medicine?
As noted by the Institute for Functional Medicine, “Functional medicine seeks to identify and address the root causes of disease, rather than just treating the symptoms.” As a Functional Medicine Practitioner, my goal is to address the root causes of your challenges and provide personalized, effective care for your needs. I offer an integrative approach highlighting the significance of nourishing the mind, body, and spirit.
“I cannot recommend Rachel enough! Her eagerness to improve my health is rare and her methods work! Rachel has guided me to miraculous results with my blood sugar. Having struggled with issues using insulin and weight gain for decades, I was at the end of my rope. Rachel listened carefully to determine a plan that addressed my health in body, mind and spirit. In 2 months I saw results I had never attained before. Thank you, Rachel! The results are improving every area of my health.”

Hi Friend,
I'm Rachel, a Registered Nurse, Board-Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner, wife, mom, and follower of Jesus. For over twenty years, I've had the privilege of caring for people in a variety of healthcare settings, but over the years I found myself increasingly frustrated with a system that often focuses on managing symptoms rather than uncovering the root cause of illness.
We've all seen it-a prescription is given to treat one symptom, then another medication is added to manage the side effects of the first, and the cycle continues. Meanwhile, the underlying issue that started it all often goes unaddressed.
Through my own health challenges, I discovered the power of looking beyond the symptoms to uncover the root causes of illness. I knew there had to be a better way. That journey led me to functional medicine- a root cause approach that seeks to restore health rather than simply suppress symptoms.
Today, I am passionate about helping women experience the same. If you're tired of being told everything looks "normal" while continuing to struggle with fatigue, hormone imbalances, weight loss resistance, digestive issues, mold illness, Lyme disease, or other chronic symptoms, I want to encourage you: there is a reason for what you are experiencing. Your symptoms are not random-they're the body's way of asking for help.
My approach combines evidence-informed functional medicine, lifestyle medicine, personalized wellness coaching, and faith-centered encouragement to address the whole person-mind, body, and spirit. It would be an honor to walk alongside you as you pursue restored health, renewed hope, and the abundant life God created you to live.
