That’s a fair question. Most of my clients have already tried a long list of things—from supplements to specialists to DIY—and still feel like something’s missing.

I help people understand what’s really going on inside their body so making healthy choices stops feeling so hard.

When you know why you’re tired, bloated, anxious, or craving certain foods, it’s a lot easier to take care of yourself in ways that actually work. We use functional testing, nutrition strategy, and nervous system support to help you reconnect with your body’s cues rebuild trust in your own process.

I totally get why you’d ask. I used to do that for about a year, but I realized pretty quickly that it’s just not my philosophy.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ll absolutely teach you how to nourish your body through food and lifestyle choices, but simply telling you what to eat or when to eat misses the point.

Once you understand the why, the choices start to feel natural instead of forced…and it won’t leave you feeling like quitting 2 weeks in.

Sometimes! I don’t believe in ordering everything under the sun—we only use testing when it brings clarity and helps us take more intentional action.

The most common functional labs I use are the DUTCH test (for hormones + cortisol patterns), the GI-MAP (for gut health + microbiome insights), + the OAT test (for nutrient status + metabolic function). I’ll also review routine bloodwork from your doctor so we’re working with what you already have.

Many clients see meaningful shifts just from the first few changes we make based on their story alone—testing simply helps us go deeper when it makes sense.

Totally normal! Most people aren’t sure where to start. Each service meets you at a different point in your journey, and we can figure out what fits best together.

If you’re unsure which direction to go, book a Discovery Call here. It’s a quick, no-pressure chat where we talk through your goals, symptoms, and what kind of support will serve you best. You don’t have to have it all figured out before reaching out—that’s exactly what the call is for!

I don’t work with insurance, but HSA/FSA funds are accepted (at the discretion of provides your benefits.) I also offer flexible payment options—just ask before booking and we’ll find what works best.

Yes! Functional medicine sessions can be done entirely online. You’ll still get the same level of depth and support. The Restorative Unwind and Ripple Reset, however, is in-person only since it’s hands-on work.

You can absolutely book a one-time session if you just want clarity or direction—that’s always an option. But where the secret sauce + real progress happens is in the monthly follow-ups: that’s where we get to see how your body responds
+ make those small, meaningful tweaks that keep the momentum going.

Healing takes time, and most clients work with me for about 4–6 months as we track, adjust, and fine-tune along the way. Every body has its own pace—some people need less time, while others (especially in more complex cases) might stay closer to a year.

You’re not failing—you’ve probably just been approaching in a way that is not sustainable for you and your nervous system. Most of the people I work with have tried diets, rules, and “shoulds” that end up feeling restrictive and exhausting.

At Ripple, we focus on expansion rather than restriction. We avoid diet culture and Instagram influencers, and instead help you unpack what “healthy” truly means for you—for your digestion, energy, hormones, stress, and lifestyle.

Once you have that clarity, making choices that actually support you stops feeling like a battle. Health becomes something you move toward naturally, instead of something you have to force.

I don’t treat conditions, I work with people.

That said, many of my clients come in with things like fatigue, gut issues, hormone imbalance, burnout, or chronic pain. The goal isn’t just to name what’s wrong, but to understand how everything connects and support your system back toward balance.
