Earth and Body began long before I ever planned to become a practitioner. In my teens, my life was shaped by chronic pain, fatigue and symptoms that never seemed to add up. School became inconsistent. My social world slowly faded. Most days were about managing discomfort and finding ways to get through tasks that used to be effortless. It was a time marked by confusion and isolation because nothing I was feeling matched the answers I was given.

I spent years in and out of appointments where the tests were normal and the explanations felt incomplete. My body kept communicating something that no one could translate. When an orthopaedic surgeon finally identified the connective tissue disorder I live with during my first surgery, the real shift came from having a coherent explanation for the complicated pattern I had been carrying for so long. Someone had finally connected the physiological dots. That moment changed the way I understood both my own body and what effective healthcare could look like.

Those early experiences shaped the way I practice now. They showed me how easily complex symptoms can be brushed aside or broken into separate parts that never form a complete picture. They also taught me how deeply someone’s life can be affected when they are left without clarity or direction.

My clinical work today is grounded in the belief that the body functions as an interconnected system rather than a series of unrelated problems. I am particularly interested in the relationships between nervous system regulation, connective tissue integrity, immune and inflammatory responses, digestive function, energy production and hormonal rhythm. Chronic symptoms often arise when these systems lose their usual coordination. My focus is on understanding how these mechanisms interact in your specific case so that your treatment plan is based on physiology rather than guesswork.

In consultations, I take the time to explore your history in full. This means paying attention to patterns, pacing, triggers and the ways your body has adapted over months or years. Treatment is built on evidence informed herbal and nutritional medicine, lifestyle adjustments and nervous system support. Every recommendation is designed to be both clinically effective and achievable within your current capacity. The process is collaborative and responsive. We regularly review progress, refine strategies and build toward steady and meaningful improvement rather than temporary relief.

Education is central to how I work. You deserve to understand what is happening in your body and why your symptoms behave the way they do. Clear reasoning helps you feel more grounded and gives you the confidence to take part in your own care. This approach builds long term partnership where the goal is not quick fixes but genuine change in how your body functions.

Earth and Body exists for people who have lived with chronic, confusing or long standing symptoms and have not been able to find a clear explanation. It is a space for those who have been told everything looks fine while knowing they do not feel fine. Here your complexity is not a problem to be simplified. It is information that helps us understand the whole picture. Your symptoms are taken seriously. Your experience is valid. And you do not have to navigate any of it alone.

My intention is to help you understand your body with clarity, identify what is driving your symptoms and support you in creating sustainable, evidence informed change over time. This is thoughtful, collaborative and clinically grounded care that sees the full person rather than isolated fragments of their health.
