Over a decade ago, I found myself in a corporate job out of college when my body started to shut down. You name the health issue, I had it. You name the doctor, I saw them. I felt lost; I felt confused and most of all I felt like no one was on my team. I had to figure out how to be a team of one and heal my own life. I learned that I could not just settle and listen to one doctor – I had to take little bits of knowledge from all the doctors and experts I encountered and put together the pieces of my own puzzle.
The Beginning: I saw hundreds of doctors – the best rheumatologists, vascular surgeons, hematologists, immunologists, endocrinologists – was at patient at the Mayo Clinic, underwent two bone marrow biopsies, muscle biopsies and countless MRI’s, CT scans, thousands of vials of blood and so forth. No one could figure out what was wrong with me and no one knew what to do with me. All the doctors had guesses but no one had an answer, so they believed that the “cures” were painkillers, steroids and water pills, which turned out to only be Band-Aid solutions.
But there was something inside of me that knew pharmaceutical drugs were not the panacea. I had a burning desire to help myself feel better because I was still in so much pain. Little did I know, my life had to completely fall apart and I had to get in touch with myself on a deeper, more profound level before I could start my new, healthy life.
In my mid-20’s, I discovered a form of medicine that looked beyond Western medicine and to alternative ways to holistically heal the body. This field is known as Integrative/Functional Medicine, which gets to the root cause of health issues instead of putting a band-aid approach on the problem. I dove into this field of health and these doctors discovered a dozen issues that Western medicine failed to uncover: Lyme disease, PCOS, Candida, Leaky Gut, C-diff Colitis, Estrogen Dominance, Hypothyroidism, Epstein Bar….the list goes on and on and on. I was confused and perplexed. How did the best doctors in the country miss all of this and how many people are walking around with one (or more) of these health issues and they don’t even know it? That’s when I quit my corporate job, went back to school to learn more about Integrative Medicine, and set off on the journey to detox my body from all the toxins (mold, heavy metals, stress, conventional food, tap water, chemicals in our cleaning products, etc) that had caused my health issues. This may sound overwhelming and trust me, I know because I felt overwhelmed many years ago when I was at the fork in the road and embarked on my Integrative Medical journey.
Just as I was coming back out into the world in 2014, my doctor overdosed me on progesterone cream and my entire endocrine system shut down. This time, no doctor could help me. No one knew what to do. I have never been in more pain in my life and I felt less like myself – mentally and physically – than I ever had before. I didn’t even recognize myself because I gained 70 pounds in 5 days and my hair went from blonde to brown. Nightmare? I think so. I was terrified. Who was I supposed to turn to now? It was just me, myself and I.
I learned how to build myself from the inside out and stumbled across a handful of experts in fields I had never heard of who each helped me get to the next step of healing. I spent the last couple years healing my body on a deeper level that no one – Western or Integrative – ever addressed. No one. I was amazed. There was another layer of wellness that needed to be reached before, which is what I address with each of my clients one-on-one. This is how I am helping my clients go beyond treating the physical body and starting to treat the energetic layers that are traumatized and shut down in anyone who’s dealing with a health issue.
As traumatic as this experience was, it opened my eyes as to why SO many people aren’t getting better. You can’t just toss supplements and a super food and a workout into a body that’s energetically and emotionally shut down.
In my private practice, I guide my clients down the path to achieving wellness through techniques that I learned from healing myself and my professional training. I realized that most mainstream and alternative doctors give everyone the same protocol, supplements and advice on how to feel better but I always knew deep down that didn’t feel right. We each need a personalized plan because our bodies are all very different and what works for you may not work for someone else. That’s when I started to dive deeper into understanding the imbalances of the body to help my clients heal. To read more about my certifications, please read my About page. My services range from one-on-one individual sessions to scaling menus, recipes and food photography for food, beauty and lifestyle brands, hotels, resorts and spas. Every individual and company I work with reflects my integrative, clean living philosophy.
I would love to answer all of your questions by email, but due to the number of emails I receive, I am unable to answer personal health questions via email unless you are a client. Please choose from the below options to schedule time with me. Thank you, I look forward to booking a session with you.
These one-on-one or family/couple-to-one sessions can be in person in Manhattan, by computer over Skype or by telephone. Please note there is a 24 hour cancellation policy and there are no refunds if the client cancels the appointment in less than 24 hours before their scheduled appointment.

These sessions are for clients that are looking for support and guidance with these health issues:
I have seen hundreds of doctors in 10 years and have extensive knowledge in safe detoxification, chelation, Lyme disease, PCOS, hypothyroidism, adrenal fatigue, IBS, hormone imbalances, Leaky Gut, chronic fatigue, arthritis, bloating/gas, acne, insomnia, stress, heavy metal accumulation, mold toxicity, MTHFR, mercury filling removal process, energy medicine and more. I work with people all over the world to navigate their health problems by reviewing their blood work, urine tests and other lab results because subtle things such as elevated liver enzymes (which I had for a decade) are caused by a catalyst that doctors don’t address.
In my case it was Candida – yeast in my gut – that was causing my skyrocketed liver enzymes levels and seasonal allergies/sinus problems. No doctor ever mentioned Candida, thought to look for it or thought that it may in some way relate to my elevated liver enzymes or sinus problems. Doctors who are allopathically trained typically do not use approach because it wasn’t in their manual. It’s not their fault, they just are not taught to move beyond the surface layer of healing.
Health issues and symptoms in the body are not isolated events, but rather expressions of imbalances in your body. Everything in your body – from your nutrient levels, to your gut bacteria, to your brain, to your bones etc., – is connected. People come to me tired, depleted and drained not just from their health problems, but from the exhaustion that comes with navigating the world of doctors and knowing who to trust. I can help you to put together the pieces of your puzzle by looking at your entire body, as well as past traumas, the energetics of the body and the subconscious mind. These aspects contribute to healing on a deeper level, which in turn allows the body to heal itself. The body is very smart and knows how to heal itself, but we often complicate things and toss unnecessary treatments and pills into our body hoping that will reboot it. I went down this path for many years, but was unsuccessful.
I will steer you in the direction of the specialists you need to work with, as well as recommending specific experts that I know personally. I also suggest specific Functional/Integrative testing for your symptoms that previous tests and lab work may have missed or may have resulted in false negatives (certain labs can be trusted while others cannot – sad but very true).
This is your safe space to speak with me about your health and where you are hitting a wall. In a calming, peaceful, and relaxing environment. You must be ready to take your health into your own hands and overcome your health problems by making time for yourself, and learning how to efficiently and effectively get results. Our session concludes with a set of tools that you can use to create your clean, beautiful and healthy life.
These sessions are for clients who are looking for support and guidance with:
I will help you find clarity around whatever is knocking you out of balance and will help you jumpstart your way to living a better and healthier life. I will also address your health history and any unwanted symptoms you may be facing. I will be able to help you seek the treatments and lifestyle changes that you need based on your symptoms and overall health status. This session concludes with a set of tools that you can take out into the world to create your clean, beautiful and healthy life.

We will then move on to your bathroom and laundry room and toss the toxic products that are filled with harmful chemicals that disrupt our body’s natural state of health. We will replace these products with non-toxic alternatives that are safe. This session can be done via Skype or in person in the Tri-State area.

These gentle flow sessions are to help you get back into your body. One of the biggest issues for me when I was trying to heal was that I was only focused on healing my physical body with food and supplements and I soon realized that wasn’t enough. Tapping into the energetic level of the body is incredibly important to allow the body to communicate and get back into it’s rest-relaxation mode and out of fight-flight mode, which is sadly where most of us are living every day. I offer these sessions in NYC and worldwide one-on-one or if you prefer to have a private group session in your home.
I am a certified Kundalini Yoga and meditation teacher and I’ve studied breath work, movement and dance with some of the greatest teachers in the world. This is open to all levels; you do not need to have any prior experience for these sessions.
In this session, as a certified meditation teacher I work one-on-one with you to understand what’s going on in your life and how I can help you balance your nervous system through the use of your unconscious mind, visualization and meditation. After our session, I will send you a personal meditation that I record just for you that you can listen to. The audio meditation that I send you will not expire and will be locked and private so you, and only you can see it and listen to it. You can keep this meditation on your phone and your computer forever so that you can easily listen to it daily or whenever you’d like.
This session makes a lovely gift, as well.

Amie,
I'm in a new relationship! Very new, actually. We dated previously for a minute but now are at three months. And I've made a few of your recipes for him and they've passed the "man" test! He's a Texas boy who grew up on a cattle farm so that says a lot for him to not just like but ask me to make some of your brilliant recipes for him! You are a genius! Helping even a Texas cattleman get a taste of what healthy can do. (That could totally be one of your taglines!!!! LOL!
I have to take this opportunity to say thank you again for being awesome and having the courage to be vulnerable enough to share your struggles and your ability to turn negative seeming circumstances into something positive that influences and helps other people. You are an inspiration to me to keep going on the pathway to good health.
I hope this email finds you at the exact moment when you need some encouragement! Yours to me did! :) I am always telling myself and my friends that everything happens exactly the way it's supposed at exactly the right time.
