For more than four decades, my life’s work has centered around one calling, helping

people heal in a way that honors the whole person-mind, body, and spirit. My journey

began at the bedside, first as a nursing aide in the mid 1080’s, learning the power of

compassion and presence. From there, I became a registered Nurse at Columbia

Presbyterian Medical Center, caring for patients in high-acuity orthopedic and medical-

surgical units before being promoted to Clinical preceptor to the new hires and later to

head nurse. Those early years taught me how resilient the human body is and how

deeply it responds to the environment we create for it.

Over time, I found myself drawn to more integrative and patient-centered approaches.

My work expanded into pediatrics, chronic illness, school nursing, and community

health, where I became a trusted advocate for families and vulnerable populations. For

more than twenty years in the public school system – eventually as Head Nurse fro an

entire district – I supported thousands of children and families in navigating their health

needs with care. Steadiness, and an unwavering belief in what is possible.

But something in my heart kept calling me deeper.

I wanted to understand the “why” behind people’s symptoms. I wanted to go beyond

band-aids and help people change the trajectory of their wellbeing. I wanted to practice

medicine the way I knew it could be practiced: root-cause, relational, empowering, and

profoundly human.

That calling led me to return to school and earn several advanced degrees and

certifications, including Certified Homeopath, Family Nurse Practitioner, Doctor of

Naturopathy, Certified Functional Nutritionist, and Certified Metabolic Terrain Specialist.

The last two – Functional Nutritionist and Metabolic Terrain approach – opened a

completely new world. They integrated everything I had witnessed in my 40+ years of

nursing: how nutrition, toxicity, stress, hormones, sleep, immunity, and lifestyle shape

the body’s function more powerfully than age ever could.

For the past decade at Best Care Wellness Center, I have practiced integrative

medicine, bringing together traditional medical training, naturopathy, homeopathy, and

functional health science in a way that helps people truly transform, not manage chronic

conditions.

What I’ve learned over all these years is this:

Healing is not about your age. Healing is about your metabolic health. And your

metabolism can always shift toward vitality and youthfulness. I’ve watched patients in

their 70s reverse metabolic patterns that had burdened them for decades. And people

regain energy, clarity, strength, hope, and jou simply by understanding how to work with

their biology rather than against it. I’ve watched metabolic age – how old the body

behaves – drop dramatically when people are given the right tools, the right support,

and the right map.

This is why I created the 10 -Week Metabolic Health Program. This course is the

culmination of my entire career. T brings together everything I have studied, practiced,

taught, and witnessed across hospitals, schools, clinics, and integrative health settings.

The Metabolic Terrain model is powerful because it is not about quick fixes. It is about

teaching you how your body works at its deepest levels – your hormones, your

inflammation pathways, your immune function, your microbiome, your energy systems

and giving you weekly tools that help your body begin functioning like a younger,

healthier version of itself.

What you will learn in these ten weeks can change your metabolic age, your mindset,

your energy, and your long-term health.

This program was designed for people who are ready to:

Reclaim their vitality

Get to the root of symptoms

Nourish their body instead of fighting it

Awaken their healing potential

And rewrite the story of their health – no matter their current age

If you feel called to step into a brighter, more vibrant version of yourself, this journey is

for you!
