Over a decade ago, I found myself in a corporate job out of college when my body started to shut down. You name it, 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 over 500 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.
At the age of 25, 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.
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 workout into a body that’s energetically and emotionally shut down.
I guide my clients down the path to achieving wellness through techniques that I learned from healing myself and my professional training.

These sessions are for clients that are looking for support and guidance with these health issues:
I have seen over 500 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.

I work individually with my clients in their homes all over the country to create an individualized package for her personal chef offerings.

I will help you detox your pantry, fridge and freezer with clean, anti-inflammatory whole foods. I will come to your kitchen and help you toss the inflammatory foods and restock them with anti-inflammatory clean foods that nourish your body. This session can be done via Skype or in person.
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 most of us are in. 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 work directly with brands on marketing and branding strategies based on my business education and work in the corporate world prior to starting The Healthy Apple LLC. I have worked at VOGUE Magazine, Ralph Lauren corporate and the N.B.A, and use the skills I acquired in these settings to accelerate brands to the next level. In addition to branding and consulting, I create recipes and menus for resorts, spas, restaurants, weddings and parties.I also consult on menu offerings and can help to bring a ‘clean eating’ approach to these outlets. I focus on fresh, whole, one-ingredient foods to create maximum flavor without using processed, inflammatory ingredients.
I take all the photography on TheHealthyApple.com and I do my own food styling and photo editing. My Press Page (below) showcases some of my photography that has appeared across the web in magazines, food brands websites, wellness websites and on food packaging. Learn More
