WORK WITH ME
You might be thinking, this is just the way life is in this season. You maybe went to the doctor but they told you everything looked good. You KNOW something is off, but you cannot pinpoint what it is or what to do about it.
My Road to Functional Nutrition
I get it. This was me after having two kids and trying to get back into a regular running and fitness routine. I was determined to get back to my “old self” at any cost, and didn’t realize the symptoms I was experiencing was more than just normal motherhood fatigue. When I finally DID realize something was off, I had to search out numerous doctors before one could see what was going on. And even then, I ended up having to be my own advocate, do my own research, and order my own tests to get them to see what was going on.
Health exists on a spectrum.
It’s not that your doctor is ignoring you. It’s that conventional healthcare is set up to cure disease, and in this model, there is a black and white line between health and sick. In reality, health exists on a spectrum. You can feel tired and bloated and moody, and at the same time there is something you can do about it! You do not have to accept things as they are until they get to the point of disease, medication, autoimmunity, and lifelong struggles.
It’s not that you need to have a diagnosis before you can feel better. It’s that you need someone to listen, to truly hear what is going on, and to help you craft a plan to get to where you want to be.
That may involve functional lab tests, including minerals, micronutrients, stool, and hormone testing to get to the root cause of what is causing your symptoms.
This is how you finally start to get answers and feel better.
This is how you live a life that is vibrant, full, and joyful. Through having your truth heard, shifting your mindset about healing, getting physical answers from testing, and working little by little to create the life you want.

BLOOM.
A mind-body approach to healing your hormones and iron imbalances.
Conquer Hormone and Iron Imbalances for a Life Full of Energy, Balance, and Confidence.
You might be thinking…
“Maybe it’s just part of getting older.”
“I probably just need a new diet, workout routine, or supplement.”
“Maybe I’m just tired because of stress – I just need to push through it.”
These are common thoughts, and it’s easy to believe that fatigue, mood swings, or erratic cycles are just part of the journey. But these symptoms are your body’s way of telling you that something deeper is happening, something that quick fixes and surface-level solutions can’t address.
Guess what?
It’s not that you’re just getting older or that this is normal, it’s that you need a real understanding of what’s going on with your hormones, iron levels, and how your body responds to daily choices.
It’s not that you’re stuck with low energy or hormonal issues because you’re busy or a mom, it’s that you need a personalized approach that digs into the root of your body’s unique needs.
It’s not that you’re out of options or that you just need to push through the symptoms, it’s that you need a clear, sustainable plan to balance and support your body’s natural rhythms.
Clients that have gone through BLOOM have:
- gone from unfunctioning on the couch to pain free periods that don’t impact their day
- regulated their cycles so they are consistent and predictable every single month
- improved endometriosis, PCOS, PMDD and peri menopause symptoms
- regulated ferritin levels without iron supplements or infusions
- cleared up cystic acne
- increased energy levels without relying on coffee or sugar at 3 pm
DUTCH Hormonal and HTMA testing allow for us to see current hormone and iron storage and utilization patterns in your body.
It allows insight into how much hormones you’re making, how they’re metabolized, implications of hormones on iron levels (and vice versa) as well as cascading effects of hormone and iron imbalances on brain health, thyroid function, cortisol levels, blood sugar, digestion, and bile flow.
This personalized data plus the education provided in BLOOM will set you on the path to long term symptom relief, healing, and goal chasing.
BLOOM includes:
- 1 DUTCH Hormone Panel test kit mailed to your home
- 1 Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) test kit mailed to your home
- Assessment of results by a trained and credentialed dietitian
- A custom protocol of next steps to support your goals

“I have been struggling nutritionally through Candida and trying to fuel my body for workouts and daily life. I knew I needed help! I was excited to do the HTMA so I could have a plan in place. I’ve been on a struggle bus for far too long. I’m excited to try something different and get my body back.” – Jessica
“I was flagged by my endocrinologist as being “iron deficient” due to low ferritin levels in my routine blood work. An appointment with a hematologist and four iron infusions later, supposedly I was good to go. Except I wasn’t.
Stephanie recommended that I do HMTA testing to see what was actually going on in my body. I had an iron dysregulation problem. Since that discovery, I’m not exaggerating when I say my skin was settled and back to normal within a month. My energy is back up again too, and my hair is not falling out in chunks anymore.
I wanted to share this so that others know that there’s hope! I strongly believe that every athlete needs a coach AND a dietitian. They are not the same thing, and they are both crucial for overall health and optimal performance. Stephanie is a diamond because she’s a dietitian who is an athlete.” – Megan
“I know how to maintain my well-being now: what to eat, what to avoid, how to protect my sleep, how to manage stress, and how to be kind to my body.
Stephanie accomplished what rheumatologists, physical therapists, and acupuncturists couldn’t. She gave me a holistic nutritional and fitness makeover. She’s knowledgeable and, most importantly, she really cares.” – Monica
