Helping families uncover what’s driving their child’s eczema - and the symptoms happening alongside it.

Eczema rarely shows up alone.

Constipation. Food sensitivities or allergies. Sleep struggles. Picky eating. Frequent illness. Mood and behavior changes.

When symptoms keep stacking up, treating them one by one can miss the bigger picture.

I help parents connect the dots and investigate what may be happening underneath - starting with the gut.

But… why are we looking at the gut when the problem is eczema?

Because the skin may be where you see the problem. That doesn’t mean it’s where the problem started.

Eczema doesn’t always show up alone. Maybe there’s also constipation. Food sensitivities or allergies. Poor sleep. Frequent illness. Picky eating. Big emotions or behavior changes.

When symptoms start stacking up across different systems, I want to know what connects them.

That’s where the gut comes in.

Your gut communicates with your immune system, skin, brain, and nervous - is why my approach looks beyond the rash and asks a bigger question:

What is keeping this child’s system out of balance?

Get Started

My approach is intentional

I look at the full picture. Every piece of your puzzle. And the pieces I can’t figure out… that’s where functional lab testing comes in. I use health history, symptoms, and results of functional lab testing to create a personalized plan forward to find balance.

How I Help

  • Full In Depth History

    Symptoms rarely occur in isolation, so I like to explore:

    • Early Life Factors

    • Digestive Health

    • Immune & Skin Health

    • Lifestyle & Environment

    • Medical History

  • Foundations First

    Healing doesn’t start with supplements- it starts with the foundations:

    • Nutrition

    • Sleep

    • Nervous System Support

    • Movement

    • Daily Habits and Environment

  • Functional Testing

    Symptoms tell us something is happening. Functional testing helps us uncover potential imbalances in the gut, nutrient status, metabolism, and overall health. Some tests include:

    • GI- MAP + Zonulin

    • Tiny Health

    • OAT

    • HTMA + more

  • Education & Empowerment

    After reviewing the results, I create a personalized plan moving forward and make sure to educate you throughout our journey together! I want you to understand why we’re doing what we’re doing so you can confidently support your child’s long term health.
