My Journey To Integrative Wellness

For more than 16 years, I've had the privilege of caring for people as a Registered Nurse across emergency medicine, intensive care, orthopedics, medical-surgical nursing, tribal health, primary care, and addiction medicine. Those experiences gave me a deep appreciation for evidence-based medicine, compassionate care, and the resilience of the human spirit.

At the same time, they also revealed something I couldn't ignore: many people continued to struggle with fatigue, hormone imbalances, digestive concerns, chronic stress, and other symptoms—even when they were told everything looked "normal."

Then, life brought me my own lessons.

Experiencing burnout, navigating my own health challenges, infertility, and recovering from Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever changed the way I viewed health and healing. I felt unseen and unheard often during those health crises.

Those experiences challenged me to ask deeper questions, explore functional and integrative approaches, and discover the profound impact that nutrition, mineral balance, nervous system regulation, lifestyle, and the environment can have on our overall well-being.

Looking back, I'm incredibly grateful for that season because it led me to the work I feel called to do today.

I shifted to holistic nursing in 2018, became certified as a Nurse Coach, went on to learn Reiki and other energy modalities and started a coaching business, Inner Peace Wellness Coaching in 2020.

A Dream That Continued to Evolve

In 2022, I founded Inner Peace Hydrate, originally as a mobile IV hydration practice. What began with a passion for bringing supportive therapies directly to clients quickly grew into something much bigger than I ever imagined.

Over time, Inner Peace Hydrate evolved into Inner Peace Wellness Co. a brick-and-mortar wellness center where I had the privilege of offering IV therapy, red light therapy, wellness consultations, health coaching, reiki and collaborating with an incredible community of practitioners. It was a dream come true and a season of tremendous growth, learning, and connection.

By 2026, however, another dream was calling.

As a wife and mother to two amazing boys, I realized that this season of life was inviting me to slow down and return to what mattered most. I made the difficult—but deeply meaningful—decision to close the wellness center so I could spend more time with my family, homeschool my children, and refocus my practice on the work that brings me the greatest joy: walking alongside clients in a more personal and intentional way.

That decision ultimately gave birth to Root + Restore Wellness Co.

Today, my passion lies in one-on-one partnerships, Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA), functional medicine, wellness coaching, healthy home assessments, group programs, workshops, retreats, and creating meaningful educational experiences that empower people to better understand their bodies and build lasting health.

My Approach

I believe our bodies are constantly communicating with us.

Symptoms are often invitations to pause, become curious, and look beneath the surface.

By integrating my nursing background with functional wellness, Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA), trauma-informed care, nervous system support, Reiki, and other holistic healing modalities, my goal is to help you connect the dots, strengthen your foundations, and move toward greater resilience and vitality.

Healing isn't about perfection.

It isn't about finding one magic supplement or one perfect lab result.

It's about creating the conditions in which your body can do what it was designed to do.

Beyond the Office

Home is a small farm just outside Asheville, North Carolina, where I live with my husband, Simon, our two wonderful sons, Liam and Jagger, a mini horse, mini donkey, goats, rescue dogs, and cats.

When I'm not working with clients, you'll usually find me exploring the Blue Ridge Mountains, spending time in nature, tending to our little farm, or dreaming up new ways to bring people together through workshops, retreats, and community.

Nature has become one of my greatest teachers, reminding me that healing is rarely rushed—it unfolds one step, one season, and one foundation at a time. turn.
