Do you struggle to find ways to fuel your body and mind?

For years nutrition and food choices have both fascinated and plagued me. I have felt a struggle at between what my mind craves and what my body craves. Emotions and nostalgia drive me towards “comfort foods” of my family. Leading my body to feel heavy, my gut to feel distended, and exhaustion to set in.

I have learned that my food choices, supplements, and herbs can change that. As a Functional Nutrition Counselor I love to help others discover new ways to eat as well as supplements, vitamins, and herbs that can help them feel their very best.

I have worked hard to navigate the world of nutrition, supplements, and herbs and am happy to share what I’ve learned in the last twenty years.

In a world full of “quick fixes” I have struggled to find brands of herbs and supplements I can trust. I want to share those brands with you!

At Unfurl West, we are now carrying a limited number of supplements, vitamins, and herbs. You can also be guaranteed a pure and tested product by ordering directly from our Designs for Health store. (Get 20% off your entire 1st order with code: UNFURL2026)

Functional Nutritional Counseling

If you’re interested in discussing what foods, herbs, and supplements can help you on your healing journey, we are here for you.  

In 2021 I completed my Functional Nutrition Coaching certification with the Functional Nutrition Alliance. Currently, I am finishing my masters degree in Acupuncture and Herbal Nutrition from a Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective.


My journey with nutrition began in 2007. I attended a nutrition seminar that changed everything. The speaker (whose name I wish I could recall) told us, “After you eat, your body should feel fueled and ready to go. Food is fuel.” These words perplexed me, as my favorite post-meal activity was sitting on the couch. From that moment forward, I changed my perspective and began to search for the foods that fueled me.

I began studying nutrition, food choices, and herbal remedies in 2007. Over the years I read many books and personally tried many different ways of eating.

After many years of sharing my knowledge with massage clients and friends I decided to take a formal training with the Functional Nutrition Alliance. After a year of studying with Andrea Nakayama, in 2021 I graduated with a certification in Functional Nutrition Coaching.

In 2024 I began my MS in Acupuncture and Herbal Nutrition. I am currently finishing my final year of the program, and look forward to adding Chinese Herbs to my practice in 2027. During this training I have spent much time in my clinical mentorship once again looking at functional nutrition, supplements, and herbs with my mentor Michelle Meramour.

At this time I am not offering one-on-one nutrition coaching, but I weave nutrition and herbal recommendations into my current practice at Unfurl. Using Michelle’s Body Feedback Method we can ask your body what it wants and needs and refine what you are putting in it to get to a deeper level of healing. I look forward to offering these services alongside acupuncture beginning in late 2027.

For now, I’m happy to discuss your current supplements and to offer you access to high quality supplements through my Designs for Health Store below.
