My Story
Surrounded by sports growing up, I always felt like I had a healthy lifestyle. We ate most
meals at home, and no one in my family had any big health issues. When I was diagnosed
with Lyme Disease my senior year of high school, my mindset shifted. I lost 15 pounds in a
week, suffered from daily migraines, and lacked focus and any type of energy.
​
I took the course of antibiotics and felt better, but still not like my true self. The revelation
occurred while pursuing a pharmacy degree in college, where I delved into the intricacies
of disease etiology. The allure of preventative medicine, with its emphasis on addressing
root causes, captivated me. It seemed like every disease state we were taught, it was
recommended to start with diet and lifestyle modifications. However, I did not have a clue
what that actually looked like.
When I traveled to NH to see Kristen, she knew within a
matter of minutes that I had suffered from Lyme Disease (without me even telling her!)
From chatting with Kristen, I so badly wanted to do what she did. I felt like the work she
was doing was helping and made so much sense. I knew I needed Kristen’s knowledge to be
able to provide well rounded care to future patients.
​
Somewhere along the line, I married my high school sweetheart, Tyler and we live with our
two goldens, Lincoln and Hudson in Wilkes County, NC. We live in >100 year old home that
we renovated, and we enjoy CrossFit and the community that we have the privilege to be
part of.
I am now a licensed pharmacist in the state of North Carolina as well as a Nutritional
Therapy Practitioner through the Nutritional Therapy Association. I envision a world
where we honor Mother Earth and the fruit She bears to feed our families, heal our
illnesses, soothe our souls, and enrich communities. I am thrilled to be a part of this team
and I am excited to blend these two worlds of mine together!
