Labs done in your home/Labcorp. Coaching all done virtually. Hi there!

Wise Living supports women & families struggling with gut issues, picky eating, mood struggles, and postpartum challenges through functional lab testing and holistic, personalized care. I'm a wife, mother, occupational therapist and functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner. I have personally overcome illness with IBS, SIBO, mold illness, autoimmune Raynaud's, chronic dermatitis, chronic back pain and more using all natural methods. Because of my personal journey as well as friend & family member's journeys, I’m passionate about empowering and educating others in root causes and holistic healthcare. My goal is to give people hope and help them feel heard by educating them on their unique body's issues, providing detailed problem-solving through functional lab testing, nutrient therapy, and guiding them through lifestyle changes to enhance their health and overall quality of life.

Is it really ADHD… or is your child’s body struggling to keep up?

I can’t ignore what I’m seeing. More and more kids are struggling with attention, impulse control, emotional regulation, and focus. And while medication is often the first thing offered, many parents don’t realize there are root causes that can mimic—or worsen—ADHD symptoms.

Here are some of the most common patterns I see in my clinical work:

Possible Root Causes of Focus & Behavior Challenges
• Poor methylation → trouble making neurotransmitters
• Copper/Zinc imbalance → contributes to anxiety, irritability & mood swings
• Candida or high oxalates → can impact behavior, sensory needs, & attention
• Blood sugar crashes → afternoon meltdowns, hyperactivity, poor focus

Diet is a HUGE piece that often gets overlooked.
Removing artificial dyes, cutting down highly processed foods, and stabilizing blood sugar can make a dramatic difference for many kids.

Functional Tests I Use to Get Answers:
• HTMA (minerals + stress patterns)
• OAT (methylation, candida, oxalates)
• Metabolic panel (blood sugar, inflammation, nutrient markers)
• GI-MAP (gut-brain connection + digestion)

Parents deserve more than “he’s just hyper” or “let’s try a medication.”
You deserve clarity. Your child deserves support that looks at the whole picture.

ADHD isn’t always just a brain issue—
sometimes it’s a body issue that’s asking for help.

If you’re a mama wanting answers, support, and a plan that looks beyond symptoms, I’m here. 💛

Send me a DM with FOCUS and I’ll share how I help guide families in their journey.

The first 1,000 days of life shape everything—metabolism, immunity, brain development, emotional regulation and even a child’s long-term risk for conditions like eczema.

The Infant Restore randomized control trial 100% supports why I do what I do at Wise Living. Because when infants received personalized microbiome support—even for just 6 months—their odds of developing eczema dropped by 83%.

That’s not “alternative.”
That’s biology.
That’s prevention.
That’s what happens when we honor the way the body was designed to heal.

And this is exactly why Wise Living exists—
To help families get answers before symptoms escalate. To support the gut-brain connection.
To offer root-cause, evidence-based guidance that prevents unnecessary suffering and gives kids the healthiest foundation possible.

You don’t have to wait until something is “wrong.”
You don’t have to guess.
You don’t have to navigate this alone.

✨ If you want to understand your child’s gut-brain health and start building that strong foundation now, comment “READY” below!

🙌🏼 Early support changes outcomes—and you deserve clarity, confidence, and a plan.

We’re living in a time where symptoms show up long before diagnoses & parents feel dismissed before they feel supported.

I’ve worked in hospitals, homes, nursing homes, clinics, schools and now functional health, and here’s the truth:

Healthcare has shifted & it’s more important than ever to be a strong self-advocate for you & your child’s health.

Catching something early is never a mistake.
Missing something early often is.

You know your body.
You know your child.

When something feels off, that’s not anxiety, it’s wisdom.And your intuition deserves to be taken seriously.

This is why I believe so deeply in prevention and early intervention, not a “wait and see” approach.

Because your health isn’t something to gamble with, and your child’s development isn’t something to postpone hope over.

If you’re feeling unheard…
If you’ve been told “everything is normal” but nothing feels normal…
If your gut is whispering that you need answers…
you’re allowed to get a second opinion. You’re allowed to dig deeper. You’re allowed to advocate for the quality of life you & your little one deserve. 💛

Inside Wise Living, I help women and children get to the root of gut, mood, and behavioral concerns using functional lab testing + holistic assessment. No guesswork. All mind-body correlation.

If you’re craving clarity or want to understand what early intervention + prevention could look like for your family, DM me “ADVOCATE” and I’ll send you my free Gut-Brain starter quiz + next steps.

You don’t have to wait for someone else to take your concerns seriously. You get to take the lead. 💚

Most moms rely on pouches because they’re convenient… and listen, I get it. As a busy mom of 2, I grab & go often! But if your child is a picky eater or struggling with texture, variety, or mealtime stress, pouches can actually hold them back.

Here’s why ⤵️

✨ 1. They skip sight + touch
Kids become comfortable with food by looking at it, touching it, squishing it, and exploring it.
Pouches remove all of that sensory exposure , which is the exact exposure picky eaters need more of.

✨ 2. They bypass self-feeding skills-
Scooping, bringing a spoon to the mouth, holding a fork…
These are motor skills that build confidence, independence, and curiosity with food.

✨ 3. They remove the oral-motor “work”
Biting, chewing, lateralizing the tongue, moving food around the mouth…
These are the muscles and patterns that help kids tolerate more textures and progress past the “stuck” stage.

Pouches let kids suck only — which is much easier but doesn’t strengthen the foundations of eating.

✨ 4. These foundations matter!
When kids don’t practice these sensory + motor skills, they’re more likely to stay picky, avoid textures, gag easily, or refuse new foods.

So if you’re working on picky eating, I recommend using pouches sparingly and leaning into foods your child can see, touch, smell, and actually interact with.

💛Want help figuring out where your child is getting stuck — and how to build healthier, braver eating skills?

As an experienced behavior therapist & pediatric occupational therapist, I wish I could go back and share so much more with the families I worked with, now having the lens of a holistic health & nutrition practitioner.

Because here’s the truth:
The gut directly impacts the brain, behavior, skin, sleep, immunity, mood, and more.

And so often the signs we label as behavior challenges are really a child’s body saying:
✨ “I’m inflamed.”
✨ “I’m not absorbing nutrients.”
✨ “My nervous system is overwhelmed.”
✨ “Something in my gut is off.”

Some of the biggest clues I see in kids:
• Picky eating & limited food variety
• Big emotions + quick meltdowns
• Restless sleep or frequent night waking
• Anxiety, hyperactivity, or sensory overload
• Skin issues like eczema or unexplained rashes
• Stomachaches, constipation, or bloating

You’re not imagining it, and you’re doing the best with the tools you have.

You’re watching your child struggle and trying to connect the dots, but that can be so overwhelming alone.

If you want a simple, free quiz to understand your child’s gut-brain imbalance and next steps, just comment QUIZ and I’ll send it over 💛

Follow for root-cause tools, empowerment & answers that finally make sense.

Most people wait until they feel terrible before taking action. But research shows that certain gut overgrowths can predict autoimmune & inflammatory diseases years before diagnosis. This gives us back the power to stop disease before it starts!

➡️RA, MS, Parkinson’s, Celiac, IBD, neuroinflammatory conditions like autism & more…all linked to certain gut patterning.

✨Prevention is so powerful, but you have to be an active participant.

💛 Ready to stop diseases in their tracks with a total gut-reset? DM me “GUT” to learn how to test your microbiome & take control of your health before symptoms ever start!
