welcome
“Healing is not about becoming someone new - it’s about returning to who you were meant to be.”
Aloe Vera and Garlic cure everything! My mother held this belief deeply and instilled in me the first rumblings of holistic health curiosity. When I witnessed first-hand in High School how aloe vera took away a wart on my knee, I was hooked. I remember studying her health books like novels and experimenting with herbs here and there. By college, I threw it all out the window in favor of more conventional approaches to health.
By age 20, I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease that resulted in the loss of my thyroid. This personal challenge, coupled with navigating other health conditions led me right back to the deeper exploration of holistic health and food as medicine.
I know what it feels like to be devastated with fatigue, pain, anxiety; to be told your immune system is attacking itself. I know the sheer heartbreak when the Dr. reviews your labs and tells you all looks “good” but you feel terrible every day. I know what many nights plagued with insomnia look like. I know the devastation of navigating fertility.
Your body is not working against you. It is communicating with you
I have healed POTS, heart palpitations, chronic fatigue, MCAS, body burning and pain, autoimmune challenges, insomnia, fibromyalgia, hormone imbalances, mystery depression, brain fog, anxiety and cleared my body of an overload of toxic heavy metals.
I have led trauma support groups and understand intimately how trauma can alter our health; how the deeply buried wounds of our past can influence our present. Opening up space for the trauma to be released by supporting cellular health and gut health through food and herbal medicine is integral to a balanced, healthy body.
You are here because you are sick and tired of being sick and tired.
Case Studies & Success Stories
Alma saved my life, literally!
I was diagnosed with cancer. It was a complete shock to me and my family. I was someone who ate healthy, did not drink, or anything like that. I focused on fresh foods and tons of veggies, and yet, here I was. I was only 43 when I was diagnosed.
I was scared. I didn’t know what to do. I am not someone who has a history of taking pharmaceutical drugs, and I don’t take any medications. I knew I wanted to explore how I could approach this in a more natural way. I believed my body could be supported with all the natural remedies that nature has to offer but I didn’t know where to start. I was completely overwhelmed.
A trusted friend reminded me of her work with Alma. She had been helped tremendously with her own chronic illness while working with her. I reached out immediately.
Alma walked every step of this journey with me. She is gracious, kind, and compassionate. She knows all the right questions to ask and the right ways to support. Alma has overcome so many health challenges herself, and her level of compassion is truly genuine. She is a pure light force!
She doesn’t just guide your physical health—she also helps guide your emotional health. She knows how to be present for you. She checked in on me in between sessions and was always thoughtful, organized, and incredibly knowledgeable.
Thank you, Alma. I am forever grateful.

Thanks to Alma, I’ve improved more than my health, but my quality of life. Alma has served as my nutritional guide for over a decade.
Under her thoughtful and analytical guidance, I’ve seen my health improve exponentially. As someone who has moved a great deal in the last ten years, Alma has remained a constant advisor, who understands me better than any PCP. When ailments arise, it’s usually Alma who provides medicinal and holistic guidance to fight/ward off whatever is attacking my immune system in that moment.
In a world of overprescribing antibiotics, she meets my body where it is. She asks the thorough questions with which to better realign my overall health.
One of my favorite things about Alma: she respects and understands that every BODY is different — she not only tailors a program to me as an individual, but observes and addresses the external stressors present in my life. She consistently helps me figure out how to prioritize overall health into a demanding schedule and at an incremental rate that suits my routine, profession, and lifestyle.
Addressing one’s health isn’t easy work, it requires time, dedication, and education. And even when I’ve wavered in my routine, I come back to Alma for the words of encouragement reminding me to put health first.

I was feeling fatigued, burnt out, not sleeping, not laughing; just feeling tired.
I saw my doctor. She did a bunch of tests and said everything looked fine. They basically dismissed me and chalked it up to stress. I tried to push through and drink more coffee, but nothing was helping. It seemed like I was getting worse as time went on. A year later, I went back to my doctor only to have them diagnose me with a thyroid problem. At this point, I knew I needed help. I didn’t want to take meds. A friend recommended me to Alma.
We addressed the root cause, and through lifestyle, diet, and the right supplements for me, I feel like myself again.

Connection
Healing happens through connection. To ourselves. To others. To nature. To meaning.
We are not separate from life around us — we are deeply interconnected with it.
Movement
Movement is communication with the body. It supports circulation, energy production, detoxification, and resilience.
When we move, we activate the systems that allow the body to heal, adapt, and thrive.
My Formula
Root Cause Medicine = The Methodology
Nourishment + Connection + Movement = Your Biology
Nourishment
Food is information for the body. What we consume shapes our energy, hormones, resilience, and long-term vitality.
The mind requires nourishment too. Every thought, emotion, and internal narrative influences the chemistry of the body.
