Hi, I'm Katie.

I learned the holistic way to restore hormone balance, and now I help other women do the same.

I know what it's like to feel far from yourself, tired, uncomfortable in your own skin, and unsure why nothing seems to help. If that's where you are right now, you're not alone, and there's a real way through it.

Let Me Tell You My Story

In my early 20s, I was dealing with acne, digestive issues, and a menstrual cycle that never worked the way it was supposed to. I went through the usual rounds of doctors and tests, and the only real intervention I was offered was birth control to manage heavy periods and anemia - nothing that actually explained why my body felt the way it did.

A work injury eventually forced me to slow down, and that pause was the first real chance I had to actually look at what was happening in my body instead of pushing through it. I started researching my own symptoms and found the connections no one had told me about: chronic stress and undiagnosed food sensitivities to dairy and gluten were behind the bloating, gas, constipation, and ulcers I'd been living with, and hormone imbalance was tangled up in the rest.

I stopped relying on convenience food and started actually nourishing my body with what it needed, while identifying and removing the foods that were working against me. Within a few weeks, my skin started clearing, my digestion settled, and I was sleeping better than I had in years.

That experience is what led me to become a functional nutrition counselor on top of my medical esthetics background. I never want another woman to be told her symptoms are normal when they're not.

I know you feel alone, scared, and frustrated, but you’re not alone! I also want to tell you that there IS hope to get better!

I know this because I’ve been exactly where you are right now!

Why I Work This Way

Your body doesn't operate in separate departments. Skin, gut, hormones, and stress are constantly in conversation with each other, so an imbalance in one area rarely stays contained to that one area.

Your skin is a two-sided organ. It doesn't only react to what you put on it; it reflects what's happening underneath: your digestion, your stress levels, your hormones, your sleep. That's why a breakout can show up the same week as a stressful deadline, or why gut issues and skin flares so often arrive together. They're not two separate problems; they're two symptoms of the same system asking for support.

The Gut-Skin Connection

This is why I don't just treat what's showing up on the surface: a spot treatment here, a supplement there. I look at the whole picture: what your skin is telling you, what your gut is telling you, what your hormones are telling you, and how they connect, so the changes we make actually address what's driving the problem instead of just managing what you can see.

Everything is connected. Once you start treating your body that way instead of one issue at a time, things finally start to make sense, and the changes actually hold.

That's exactly what the ROOT Method does. Reset the foundation. Optimize daily function. Overcome what's keeping you stuck. Build habits that actually last. It's the framework behind everything I do, whether we're working on your skin, your gut, or your hormones first.

A New Found Purpose...

My experience changed my life in wonderful ways, and now, I’m on a path to helping others! I want to help you enjoy the skin, gut, and hormone health I discovered so you can live a life of joy, energy, and vibrancy.

That experience gave me a deeper understanding of skin, gut, and hormone health, and it's what shaped how I work with clients today

I trained at Stenberg College, the Functional Nutrition Lab, Beyond Nourished, and the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, studying skin health, root-cause approaches, and practical lifestyle coaching. Most recently, I became a Certified Women's Hormone Health Coach at the end of 2024, deepening my focus on the hormone piece of this work specifically. That training, combined with what I lived through myself, is what lets us build a plan together that's actually suited to your body, not a generic protocol pulled off a shelf.

Working with you isn't just about your skin or your food choices in isolation. We'll look at the fuller picture, including stress and the other parts of life that affect your health, so the changes we make are ones you can actually sustain.
