This is for those who wish to know a little more about my story. Skipping straight to undergrad; I fell in love with environmental biology. Believe it or not. Some people just feel connected to nature in some special way. Some of us feel it taking a short walk or putting miles into a long hike. For others it’s snorkeling by some coral or snowboarding down a mountain side. Listening to that voice of the earth calling out makes some people light up and I’m one of them! There was something about the idea of spending my working adult life wading around in a marsh or off to a forest somewhere checking populations of different species that made me excited for what was next. I graduated university and felt ready to make my imprint on the world.

As fate would have it, I was offered a position at a private fertility practice immediately post-graduation and couldn’t resist such a fascinating field. It offered me the opportunity to help people directly and I got to work with my hands at a microscopic level. I have spent over 10 years as a senior embryologist creating thousands of children for loving parents. The procedures and technologies we used were state of the art and built to change lives in the most profound way. I don’t want to toot my own horn; but creating embryos takes finesse and expertise and I was damn good at it. I handpicked the best sperm to inject into eggs and create beautiful embryos that would later become beautiful children. I would perform biopsies where 3 to 7 cells could be removed from the embryos and sent for genetic screening. During my time as an embryologist I received my Master’s in Clinical Embryology and Andrology from Eastern Virginia Medical School while working full time. It is a wonderful job and I’ve worked with some amazing people whom I’ve grown to call family. Later there was another calling that weighed on my heart. I wanted to impact more people before medical intervention was required.

Working with patients I found it interesting that some just needed to be taught how to care for themselves and their whole body. If they shifted their focus to healing their whole body (something they could control) instead of dealing with the consequences of poor health, they could potentially regain the ability to produce life. I felt drawn to pursue a path where I could teach people how to awaken their own health and live more vibrantly. This is what led to my journey to discover how to support the systems of the body instead of focusing on the symptoms of the body. I began to see the importance of so many, often-overlooked health factors that are rarely considered in modern life. My relentless search brought me to the doorsteps of the Balance Protocol Institute where some of the world’s best doctors and health consultants are trained. The best way to describe the practices and knowledge this program has offered me would be “life changing”. Everything I thought I knew about health was taken, expanded upon and flipped on its head down to the very fundamentals. What everyone in the health world has been missing is that the individual’s personal story is the key to their own protocol. Combining the details that make a person different from their neighbor, with the effects of their personal environmental factors and the logical changes based on laboratory assessments nets a synergistic result that has better outcomes than anything or anyone I am aware of. The body is intelligently created and what it needs is the right medley of interventions and it takes care of the rest.

I could talk about what creates a healthy body all day but what I really want to convey is I love teaching people how to care for themselves in a sustainable way so they can enjoy vibrant health for years to come. I always say, “I want to show people just how much they can surprise themselves with what they can achieve”. My driving force is a deep desire to make a lasting positive difference in this world and to change lives. This little intro was meant to give you an idea of why I do what I do. Rest assured; I have a lot of well-founded strategies to improve your health that are often different than the many niche pickers in the health space. The first step is for us to develop a relationship and to learn your personal story.
