Welcome to Intentional Wellness, Inc.!

A Personalized Approach to Functional Medicine & Holistic Health

My Approach to Health and Healing

I believe in looking at the bigger picture when it comes to health. Instead of focusing on symptoms, I dig deeper to understand the root causes of imbalance. With a mix of functional medicine strategies and holistic health coaching, I guide you toward sustainable wellness and a thriving life.

The Process: How It Works

Each person’s wellness journey is different. That’s why I take a tailored, step-by-step approach to get you feeling your best.

The First Visit
The first visit is a 1 hour session done over Zoom. Before this session I spend time reviewing your intake form and any labs, information about current supplements, medications, and current diagnoses.  
 
When we meet for our first session, I ask some followup questions to get information I was unclear about or had questions about when reviewing your information.  Then, I review with you what I have puzzled out in terms of the underlying dynamics that are likely causing the symptoms that you want to address.  
 
This is a broad overview of what is going on with you – so that you can see the forest for the trees, as it were.  Most people find themselves chasing symptoms – often reading a blog and trying a supplement or two to see if they get better.  This usually leads to a pile of supplements with no real overall plan for health.
 
What I will outline for you in our first session will paint the big picture of why you, for example, may have insomnia, constipation, reflux, headaches, exhaustion, etc. and how those things are interconnected.
 
It is after this first session that you can decide if you think what I said makes sense and if you would like to pursue coaching with me. 
 
Coaching Sessions
In the coaching sessions, we meet twice a month in order to begin making changes to address your major complaints as well as follow up on how you are doing with the suggested changes.  If something isn’t working for you, we figure out a different approach that will work better for you based on your feedback.
 
The coaching program is a minimum of 4 months, which may sound like a long time, but in terms of making changes in ways that work for you as an individual and are sustainable that you can continue on your own takes time.  If we decide to order labs, then those have to arrive, you must get your sample, send it off, and then we have to wait for the results.  Likewise, if we add or subtract supplements, they don’t work overnight, so we need some time to allow for those changes to have effect.
 

More About What the Coaching Is Like 

 

Rebuild Your Foundation for Vibrant Health

The journey to glowing, thriving health begins with a solid foundation. By strengthening your base, you set the stage for lasting wellness.

We’ll focus on nourishing your body with wholesome, delicious foods that support your well-being while reducing those that may trigger inflammation or discomfort – and we will do this in a step-wise fashion that won’t mean going from eating fast food burgers to salmon and broccoli all at once.  Those types of changes are rarely something that people can do overnight, and this is why people often give up when trying to eat in a healthier way.  Instead, we work at a manageable pace to change unhealthy eating patterns, meanwhile, working to ensure that we:

  • Understand and dismantle cravings.
  • Explore energizing, nutrient-rich foods that fuel your body.
  • Uncover what works best for your unique health needs.
  • Recognize emotional eating patterns and find nourishing alternatives.

It’s time to build a sustainable, joyful approach to health—one that truly supports you!

 

Reset & Recharge Your Body

In this phase of your journey, we’ll clear up the confusion surrounding nutrition and find what truly works for you.

There’s no one-size-fits-all approach—your body is unique, and the key is discovering which foods fuel you best.

Think of this as a fresh start, a chance to reboot your body with renewed energy, clarity, and focus.

  • Craft a personalized eating plan tailored to your needs.
  • Experiment with new recipes and build confidence in your kitchen.
  • Explore targeted supplements with a customized approach.
  • Break free from brain fog and fatigue, stepping into a more vibrant you.

This is your time to reset and thrive!

 

Trust Yourself & Thrive

Creating a healthy eating plan isn’t about restriction—it’s about discovering foods you love and enjoy effortlessly. Together, we’ll explore new recipes, shopping strategies, and exciting ways to make nourishing choices feel natural and enjoyable.

You’ll gain confidence in your food decisions, knowing exactly what works best for your body and lifestyle.

No more struggling to “eat right”—healthy living should be fun, fulfilling, and energizing! As we move forward, making supportive choices will feel easier and more intuitive.

  • Navigate healthy eating with ease, whether at home or dining out.
  • Identify potential food sensitivities that may be affecting your health.
  • Wake up refreshed, sleep better, and feel more energized throughout the day.
  • Understand which foods and lifestyle habits truly help you thrive.

It’s time to trust yourself, embrace wellness, and enjoy the journey!

 

Revitalize & Nourish Your Wellbeing

Being healthy is not about perfection. It is about listening to your body, getting in touch with your own intuition, and making healthier choices for your body out of love, experience, and knowledge – never out of force.

As you get in touch with your body’s internal clues, and discover which foods help you thrive, you will set lifestyle practices in place that are nourishing to your entire being. You will feel vibrant, awake, alive, and balanced.

  • Heal your gut: Get rid of stomach aches, bloating, and digestive issues once and for all!
  • Reduce stress levels.
  • Reach your ideal weight without feeling at war with your body.
  • Glow from the inside out: Healthier hair, skin, and nails.
