Hello!

I'm Jen, and I'm so glad you are here!

I was born and raised in Metro Detroit, Michigan and earned my Bachelors of Science in Nursing from Oakland University. 

I obtained my Masters of Nursing as a Family Nurse Practitioner from South University in 2016. 

As early as 4 years old I knew that I wanted pursue medicine to help people. My healthcare journey started 22 years ago as a pharmacy technician, to ER nurse, to family nurse practitioner, then to corporate healthcare executive. I practiced in orthopedics, spine, pain management, surgery, and regenerative medicine. I loved what  did and was always looking for ways to have a greater impact helping more people.

Just a couple of years ago, I found myself at the peak of my professional career, yet my personal health was plummeting. As someone who had always been labeled a "high achiever," I was so busy ticking all the boxes that I had neglected the most critical one—my own health.

Like many of you, I was silently battling low energy, brain fog, troublesome gut issues, hormonal imbalances, and the heavy weight of depression. It felt like I was drowning in a sea of symptoms, struggling to stay afloat. When I went to see my doctor, the solution offered was pills, long-term medications to merely manage the symptoms.

Then my son, once a high school athlete and honor student, was suddenly confined to his bed by daily, excruciating migraines, dizziness, and relentless fatigue. After multiple hospital visits and tests, a parade of specialists, countless prescription medications, and still, we were left with more questions than answers. It was a nightmare.

Desperate for a glimmer of hope, I turned to holistic and functional healthcare methods. We consulted with a few functional medicine providers, each offering their own cookie-cutter solutions in the form of elimination diets or supplements. But there was still a void, a missing piece of the puzzle that we so desperately needed.

And so, I embarked on a quest for answers. I immersed myself in research. I earned certifications in functional nutrition, functional medicine, and achieved the status of a Level 2 Restorative Wellness Practitioner.

This journey wasn't just about my own transformation; it was a deep dive into the realm of healing, driven by a mother's love and the determination to find answers not only for myself but for my son as well.
