Hi, I'm Lauren
I know what it’s like to be a tired hygienist— because I’ve lived it.
Every day, we show up for our patients, our teams, and our families… often putting ourselves last.
Over time, we start to we start to normalize the whispers (and eventually the screams) from our bodies: fatigue, thyroid dysfunction, joint pain, back pain, and brain fog.
We push it aside and keep going — because that’s what we’ve been trained to do.
But there comes a point when "pushing through" just isn’t sustainable anymore.
I reached that point. And my healing journey led me to something I never expected: the power of functional medicine.
I wasn’t well. I was exhausted. My periods were irregular, and something just felt… off.
One doctor told me my ovaries were "riddled with cysts" and that I’d never be able to have children.
One doctor told me my ovaries were "riddled with cysts" and that I’d never be able to have children.
Another diagnosed me with Hashimoto’s. When I asked what I could do about it, he shrugged and said:
"Nothing. Eventually your thyroid will burn out, and we’ll put you on Synthroid."
Those weren’t the answers I was willing to accept.
I knew there had to be another way — something deeper, something more hopeful.
I knew there had to be another way — something deeper, something more hopeful.
That’s when I stepped beyond the limits of conventional care and started exploring other healing traditions.
I moved to India and trained in Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture, and eventually returned to the U.S. to study root-cause healing at the School of Applied Functional Medicine.
As I began to restore my energy, balance my hormones, and reconnect with my body, I realized this journey wasn’t just about me anymore.
It is about all of us — those who are told their symptoms are "normal," the ones pushing through burnout, the ones dismissed, misdiagnosed, or left without options.

Welcome!
I know what it’s like to be a tired hygienist — I’ve lived it.
Dental hygiene is one of the most rewarding professions, but also one of the most demanding — physically, energetically, and emotionally. Every day, we show up for our patients, our teams, and our families… often putting ourselves last.
Over time, we start to normalize the whispers (and then screams) of our bodies: the fatigue, the thyroid issues, the blood sugar crashes, the digestive bloating, the brain fog. We push them aside and keep going, because that’s what we’re trained to do.
But there comes a point when “pushing through” isn’t sustainable anymore. I reached that point — and my healing journey led me to the power of functional medicine.
As I began to restore my energy, rebalance my hormones, and reconnect with my own health, I realized something deeper: this wasn’t just about me anymore. It was about all of us.
Today, I help dental hygienists uncover the root causes behind their fatigue, thyroid dysfunction, and hormone imbalances. I use functional medicine principles to guide women like you back to balance — with practical, personalized, science-backed support.
Because when we feel better, we live better. And you deserve to thrive — not just survive.
Functional wellness coaching can help you reclaim control, rewrite the narrative of your health, and pave the way for vitality.
Together, let's embark on a transformative journey, where knowledge meets action, where empowerment transcends obstacles.
This isn't about a diagnosis; it's about rewriting the story of life health, one foundational step at a time.
HOW I CAN HELP YOU
If you are dealing with relentless fatigue, thyroid issues, inflammation, or digestive discomfort — you’re not alone. And you’re not just “getting older” or “too busy.” There are real, addressable root causes behind how you feel.
I offer a one on one coaching program that is geared specifically to your unique body. My foundational approach is designed to help you uncover why your body is out of balance — and what you can do to restore it. Together, we look at your body as an interconnected system, not a set of isolated symptoms.
WHAT WE WORK ON TOGETHER:
✅ Identifying Root Causes: We look beyond the diagnosis to uncover the WHY behind your symptoms-whether it is gut dysfunction, chronic stress, toxic exposures, blood sugar imbalances, or hidden infections.
✅ Fatigue & Burnout: Understand what’s draining your energy (hello adrenals, blood sugar, mitochondria) and learn how to replenish it.
✅ Supporting Thyroid Health: Whether you’ve been diagnosed with Hashimoto’s or feel like your thyroid’s underperforming, I help you understand the thyroid–immune connection and support it through nutrition, stress resilience, and targeted lifestyle shifts.
✅ Calming Systemic Inflammation: We use personalized food, lifestyle, and nervous system tools to cool chronic inflammation—reducing joint pain, headaches, skin flares, and brain fog.
✅ Healing The Gut-Immune Connection: Autoimmunity often starts in the gut. I help you identify food triggers, improve digestion, and strengthen your gut lining to reduce immune reactivity.
✅ Navigating Flare Triggers: We track your symptoms and patterns to identify what triggers your flares—helping you stay ahead of setbacks and feel more in control of your health.
✅ Building Daily Resilience: Through nervous system regulation, sleep optimization, and stress recovery, I help you build a foundation of resilience—so your body isn’t in constant fight-or-flight.
✅ Creating a Personalized Wellness Plan: No more guessing. Your plan is tailored to you—your labs, history, lifestyle, and goals—so you finally have a roadmap that makes sense and works with your life.
