Functional Medicine with Shining Light Wellness
Personalized, Evidence-Based Care
Are you tired of quick fixes, conflicting advice, and feeling dismissed by conventional medicine?
You deserve a comprehensive, holistic approach that addresses the root cause of your symptoms—not just putting a band-aid on the symptoms.
Functional medicine is a modern, systems-based approach that looks at the body as a whole. Rather than treating isolated issues, we identify the underlying imbalances driving your symptoms by exploring all aspects of your health: hormones, gut function, detoxification, blood sugar, sleep, movement, mindset, relationships, and more. Every piece matters, and everything is connected.
Balance Your Hormones, Balance Your Life
Your health journey is unique, and I’m here to guide and support you every step of the way. Let’s work together to restore balance, vitality, and radiant health.
Why Functional
Medicine Works
Unlike the standard medical model that often waits for disease to develop before taking action, functional medicine focuses on prevention, resolution, and health optimization. We don’t guess—we test. Advanced lab testing gives us detailed insight into how your body is truly functioning. These aren’t the basic blood panels you get from your GP or hospital. Functional labs dig deeper—assessing things like hormone metabolites, nutrient levels, gut microbiome balance, cortisol rhythm, inflammatory markers, and more.
This data helps us create a targeted, effective plan tailored specifically to you.
What Makes This Different?
This isn’t a one-size-fits-all plan, or a quick supplement hack. It’s a structured, supported healing journey built around:
A comprehensive intake that explores your full health story—body, mind, and lifestyle
Advanced Functional Lab testing to uncover the root causes of your symptoms
A Custom Wellness plan with step-by-step guidance tailored to your labs, goals, and life
Targeted support through therapeutic nutrition, Chinese herbal medicine, and supplements
Ongoing Coaching and Accountability so you're never navigating this alone
Evidence-Based Protocols grounded in clinical research and whole-person healing
Evidence-Based, Heart-centered
While this work is rooted in the most up-to-date science and lab testing, it’s also deeply aligned with the wisdom of ancient traditions. Drawing on principles from Chinese medicine, we honor your body’s innate rhythms and natural intelligence. You’ll learn how to nourish your body through each phase of your cycle and life.

Frequently asked questions
How are appointments conducted?
All appointments are conducted online over Zoom within Practice Better. This platform is HIPPA compliant and encrypted, protecting your identity and private health information.
Can I pay for appointments as I go?
We do not offer a pay-as-you go, single appointment model. If you want to try functional medicine out, I offer a Health Harmony Strategy Session to see if we’re the right fit. The only exception is for nutrigenetic genetic testing - this is a stand alone appointment.
Healing takes time and commitment, which is why I work with a package model. That way, we are both committed to your success. No wasted money or time, no starting and not following through. It also gest some skin in the game on your part, which I have found motivates clients to keep going.
Can I use Insurance?
At this time, most insurance does not cover the broader range of advanced functional tests or the consultations. However, many clients are able to pay with their FSA/HSA.
Are labs extra?
Two advanced labs are included in the 5-month package. That is usually enough to have plenty of data to start with to inform your plan. For those enrolled in the 5-month Align & Thrive Method, additional labs can be ordered at a discounted price.
Do you offer a payment plan?
Yes, monthly payment plans are available. We can discuss this in the Health Harmony Strategy Session.
Will I have to buy herbs or supplements?
Most patients receive some kind of herb or supplement recommendation. I provide discounts with Designs for Health and Standard Process for those enrolled in a program or package. You can shop around yourself - however I almost exclusively recommend these companies because of the quality and research-backed blends. I only provide the highest, therapeutic quality herbs and supplements that lab testes and guaranteed to be free from fillers, pesticides, heavy metals or any other adulterants. Typically the more effort that is put into the meal plans and lifestyle, the less supplementation is needed. We can work within your budget and how much you realistically are willing to take.
