FEM is for Women taking radical responsibility for their health & embodied wellness through learning and tending their unique terrain.

FEM Package is an in depth exploration of your unique terrain that honors the complex relationship between the body’s hormone and mineral ecology.

We’ve come a long way in Women’s health, but I believe the fertility, hormone, energy and mental health struggles so many women face, though common, are not normal… The health of our inner soils can give clues where support is needed long before symptoms arise downstream. I truly believe if basic mineral and hormone testing was included in annual physical exams, we’d be looking at a much different picture.

What does it mean to deliver female- bodied informed care? I’ve come to appreciate that a truly feminine-bodied approach to functional nutrition, mineral balancing and hormone coaching is an approach that honors this complex web in its totality. Why? Because minerals affect hormones, hormones affect minerals and our gut terrain reflects both. That’s why I created FEM Package, to offer women a truly holistic approach to mapping and nourishing their unique terrain.

Through understanding your biochemical and mineral ecology, we create a personalized protocol that ->

  • Shifts your body from survival to abundance and creative fertility.

  • Balances your gut, mineral and hormonal landscape to optimize resiliency and lifespan health.

  • Supports your mental and emotional health and energy levels during lifespan hormone inflection points.

  • Optimizes your epigenetic expression by supporting phenoytypical expressions of genetic SNPs.

  • Supports your energy levels and healthy aging.

  • Dials in thyroid / liver/ gut health to support these processes.

This terrain approach to stewarding your body is a powerful tool in for those who are…

  • Proactively preparing the body for pregnancy, struggling with fertility, or looking to rebalance themselves postpartum.

  • Seeking to optimize perimenopause, beginning in their 30s

  • Experiencing painful or irregular periods, PMDD, estrogen dominance, or PCOS

  • Seeking support for anxiety, depression, fatigue, burn-out, and chronic stress.

  • Feeling disconnected from their feminine essence and vitality, operating from a place of masculine overdrive.

  • Looking for support to birth a creative vision.

  • Generally looking for the best ways to support their health and well-being from a feminine-focused lens.

I want to help every Woman understand and support her body’s baseline.

Shortly after turning 40 I began having crippling abdominal pain and received a shocking stage 4 endometriosis diagnosis after a lifetime of easeful cycling. Had functional medicine testing been a part of my life much earlier, I believe I could have caught the warning signs. I have many similar stories from women in my life who didn’t realize there was a problem until there was a problem. This is the legacy of our sick- care system, and we don’t have to keep living this story.

  • I am happy to create an individualized package for you, minus my cost for any tests you won’t need to purchase through me. Please reach out to discuss.

  • Yes, I am happy as part of your initial onboarding, to receive and consider lab work you think would be helpful to understanding your overall clinical picture.

  • You will receive instructions on taking and submitting your HTMA test upon purchase of this package. You will also receive a DUTCH test order form, which usually ships between 1-2 business days. When we receive results largely depends on where you are in your cycle as relates to when you will be taking a DUTCH test. Once all initial lab data is processed, you will receive an invitation to book your first consultation.

  • Yes! Please reach out. Through ovulation tracking and learning your rhythm we do our best to capture your mid-luteal peak.

The DUTCH test is an amazing tool, here are some of my favorite biomarkers:

  • The estrogen detox pathways! By measuring your 4-OH, 6- OH and 16- OH pathways, we get an idea of how your body metabolizes estrogen, and if you are at risk for estrogen based cancers. This awareness is perhaps THE early screening tool for disease vulnerability, allowing us to support your body in optimizing detoxification pathways and gene expression early on.

  • Did you know the DUTCH Test is one of the best ways to assess how much dopamine you are making? By measuring its metabolite Hemovalient, we can learn how to best support healthy neurotransmitter levels.

  • Have you gone back and forth about getting a GI MAP test? The Indican marker on the DUTCH test gives us a window into gut dysbiosis indicating the need for more thorough testing and microbiome support.

  • By measuring hormone metabolites, the DUTCH test gives us critical insights into how important genes such as MTHFR and COMT are working, which impacts everything from how we make energy, balance hormones, create neurotransmitters and more.

  • The DUTCH test offers the best measure we have to assess HPA axis function through the cortisol awakening response, which can give important insights into stress patterning and hormone balance.

  • The cycle mapping test option gives women a monthly overview of their hormone pattern, to uncover where and how imbalances are occurring.
