what people are saying
My health story is a long one, but suffice to say, that for over a decade, I have been suffering from digestive issues, which have led to increasingly more and more food sensitivities. Most of my symptoms started to appear about six months after my daughter was born.
I have tested positive multiple times for h. Pylori, which causes stomach ulcers and stomach pain. After many years of working with regular doctors and a whole slew of alternative health practitioners (including another functional medicine practitioner/nutritionist), I was fortunate enough to find Grace, and she has truly been a form of divine "grace" indeed.
I began working with Grace about two years ago. We first addressed the h. Pylori and then my overall health, both physically and mentally. Gut issues are closely tied to depression and lack of energy, which I suffered from for years.
Grace is just incredible in EVERY way. She began my healing process with a very in-depth question and answer format, and her ability to really listen is extraordinary. She then had me take a few tests (stool, food sensitivities, and

eventually adrenals/hormones) to determine my exact gut/health issues. She is brilliant at analyzing all of the test results and applying the information to a well thought out and comprehensive plan.
Her knowledge of how the digestive system works and its relationship to all the other systems of the body is incredible. I am constantly amazed at how quickly and precisely she can answer any of my questions, and if she's not 100 percent sure of the answer, she will spend hours of her own time researching every source imaginable to find a satisfactory answer.
Within six months of Grace's protocol, I began to feel incredibly different, especially my mood and energy level. WOW! It is a slow process to heal one's gut, especially if the issue has been around for years such as mine, but working with Grace gave me all the confidence I needed to stay committed and follow through on the various regimens and lifestyle changes.
The most extraordinary thing about working with Grace is that she is sincerely concerned about my well being. She is not just trying to help because it's her job or for financial reward, but because in the depth of her heart, she loves the individual she is working with and wants them to be pain-free, happy, and thriving in life. What better qualities to have in a healer than those.
My only regret is that I didn't know Grace while I was pregnant. Because of the hidden digestive issues during my pregnancy I was not able to digest my food properly and I am sure this contributed to my having pre-eclampsia. I delivered a healthy baby girl, but my own health began deteriorating within months of the birth.
Grace is a true healer, one who assesses the whole person with love, compassion, and knowledge. I am forever grateful for her healing magic.
When I first met Grace I was experiencing really bad postpartum anxiety, depression, and rage. Grace is such an amazing woman and I don't know how my daughter and I would have made it through without her help. She offered 24/7 support and guidance on so many things, from management of anxiety and depression through breathing and vagus nerve stimulation, as well as visualization, to supplement recommendations that significantly improved my fatigue. I was so fatigued and exhausted every day from lack of sleep and stress when I tried to sleep that I was always worried. Grace has a very keen sense of intuition and was able to identify a lot of underlying health problems that were contributing to some chronic health conditions that I'd struggled with. If there's one thing I wish I could tell everyone it's that you can recover your health. It takes time and discipline, and guidance from someone as amazing as Grace. She cares so much about her clients and she never gives up. Even if she doesn't have an answer she keeps persisting until she finds it. We love her!

“I worked with Grace for almost a year and a half. It has been a journey with many ups and downs. Ultimately I am in a much healthier and stable place (in terms of my gut health, fatigue, brain fog, and anxiety) because of the work we did together. I am floored with where I am at with my health right now and I attribute that to being in Grace's care. The process of functional nutrition–particularly the supplements–was challenging for me, though I can see that it has been critical to my healing. I chose to put my trust in Grace and the process of functional nutrition because I was ready to give this healing journey my all, and it was incredibly worthwhile. From this new level of wellness, I decided to transition back to TCM to continue my healing process.
Grace is deeply attentive and I have felt so safe in her care. I thank her for her commitment to addressing health at the root (and for not compromising on that). For asking me to be fully dedicated to the process. And for teaching me so much about how to be with my body and be in the world in a more wild way. Her support and wisdom has meant the world to me.”
