Hi, I’m Sara.
In 2001, my life took an unexpected turn when my son was diagnosed with autism. This diagnosis brought with it many challenges, but it was just the beginning. Two years later, he began to experience severe gastrointestinal issues, leaving us on a quest for answers that seemed impossible to find. We saw countless specialists and performed numerous tests — from colonoscopies and endoscopies to allergy panels and blood work. Despite all of this, doctors couldn’t identify the underlying cause of his suffering.
Frustrated but determined, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I discharged my son from the hospital and started with an elimination diet, carefully monitoring how each food impacted his body. It was a painstaking process of trial and error, but eventually, I began to piece together what his body could and could not tolerate. This personal experience opened my eyes to the profound connection between the gut and overall health.
Motivated to deepen my understanding and help others in similar situations, I pursued formal education in nutrition. I became certified by the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and later graduated from the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy (FMCA). These programs equipped me with the tools and knowledge to guide others in their health journeys, particularly those struggling with complex gut issues.
During the early part of my career, I worked with families of non-verbal children with autism, many of whom were battling the same gut-related issues my son faced. Over time, my practice grew, and I expanded my services to support a broader population. Today, I specialize in gut health, but my work extends beyond that. I partner with clients from all over the world, helping them optimize their health and well-being.
My primary goal is to empower my clients to take charge of their health. I believe in a personalized, holistic approach to wellness, guiding each individual to uncover the root causes of their health challenges and equipping them with the knowledge and tools to achieve lasting improvement. Together, we work to create sustainable changes that promote balance and vitality, so that each person can thrive and live their best life.
