Hi, I’m Rose!
It’s nice to meet you! I’m glad you’re here.
For over 16 years I struggled with chronic health issues ranging from brain fog, chronic inflammation, anxiety, HPA axis dysregulation (adrenal fatigue), PTSD, hormonal imbalances, and hair loss, just to name a few. I was exhausted on the cellular level, and after many blood tests and countless doctor appointments, I still had no answers. I kept hearing that “all the tests came back normal.” I knew everything I was experiencing was “not normal.” I knew I needed to get to the root cause of my long list of ailments. I knew I didn’t want to continue going to doctors and hearing there was nothing wrong with me. I felt awful, and my energy levels were so low that I had a hard time being a mom to my two young, active boys who needed an equally active mother.
My healing journey began when I discovered the Medical Medium protocols. I learned how the right foods could heal my body and restore my energy to the point where I was even able to get myself off of anxiety medication.
Working as a certified massage therapist for 12+ years, I’ve had the privilege to help many clients become pain-free and more comfortable in their bodies through different healing modalities, mainly by holding nurturing space for their bodies to unwind and reset. With my own journey and the journeys I’ve witnessed with my clients, I see that given the space, patience, doing the work, and a little TLC, the body will heal and thrive. The body is truly an amazing machine. After sharing some of my nutritional success with my clients, I soon saw that bringing nutritional knowledge into their lives helped them heal even quicker!
That led me to the Functional Nutrition Alliance. Now, as a Certified Functional Nutrition Counselor, I want to help you with your health journey to develop physical and mental resilience using the science of functional nutrition. A natural, gentle, and sustainable way forward exists. I use a holistic integrative approach in my work, meaning as a team we will look at the big picture of your entire health story. We will uncover the root causes of your conditions and, together, find solutions to invite greater health and healing relief.
If you’ve been in a state of chronic dis-ease, feeling frustrated, lost, confused, or hopeless because you’re not getting to the root cause of your health issues, know that there is a safe space for you here to learn practical tools to optimize your body’s function to feel your best. We’ll explore the interconnections of your symptoms to uncover their story and what they may be revealing. I will guide you with an open heart as we bring balance to all your body systems, lower your inflammation and pain symptoms, increase your energy, harmonize your hormones, increase your energy, improve your mood and outlook, and so much more!

“Working with Rose for the last 10 months has been such a positive experience for me. She really listens and makes positive suggestions about meal planning, vitamin supplements, and stretching to motivate me to move forward with my healing. 9 months now without any Motrin when I used to take 4-6 pills a day! Rose is very supportive and she wants to share the knowledge and education she gained through her own healing process. I recommend Rose to anyone looking for a warm, caring, educated person to work with on the journey to a healthier, happier life!”

“Rose cares, she’s real, loves to educate about healthy foods and their benefits to our body…always there to help, and is easy to talk and work with…makes me want to succeed.”
Debra S.
“Working with Rose over the past 3 years has literally changed my life. She helped me focus my attention to what I was feeling in my body and helped me relate the inflammatory responses that I was feeling to what food I was putting into my body. She taught me not only about the nutrition content but the healing properties that are also associated with each piece of food.
My results are still changing every day. I have lost 20 lbs and kept it off for 2 years. I have softer skin, a trimmer waist, brighter eyes, a renewed sense of myself, firmer thighs, better periods, balanced hormones, more energy, and I have learned how to fine-tune my diet for myself and listen to what my body is trying to communicate to me. Rose is a blessing, and if you trust her and honestly take a loving look at yourself, you can be empowered to change your life for the better.”
