Hi! I’m Sara.
I’m a nutrition counselor and health coach with expertise in cognitive health and gut microbiome restoration across the lifespan.
In my private practice, I work with clients in managing cognitive and mental health needs, autoimmune disease, hormonal imbalances, and multiple food allergies and sensitivities using nutrition as the primary therapeutic tool. I also work in tandem with physicians as a functional medicine certified health coach.
My Approach
Partnership
I believe that everyone in the patient care model benefits from collaboration. By combining evidence-based functional medicine, nutrition counseling, and positive psychology principles, I work with both individuals and healthcare practitioners to deliver impactful results by connecting key players and closing the gap in patient care. My work focuses on restoring microbial diversity through a nutrient-dense, colorful diet and lasting lifestyle change.
Efficiency
I’m especially passionate about supporting healthcare practitioners and coaches in streamlining their business models through group coaching programs that generate recurring revenue, prevent burnout, and improve patient outcomes. By integrating health coaching into practices, I help create efficient systems that bring sustainable success to healthcare providers and greatly improve the patient experience.
As a lifelong learner, I enjoy incorporating the latest cutting edge research in longevity science into my work. My latest interests range from restoring circadian rhythms and gut-brain axis-related conditions to improving maternal outcomes and mental health through nutrition, movement, mindset, sleep, and lifestyle.
