Our Offerings
PERINATAL CARE
Before there were hormones, there were minerals. Minerals are the spark plugs of the body — the foundational elements that drive every system: fertility, digestion, detoxification, mental health, and beyond. They help regulate the nervous system, stabilize blood sugar, fuel the thyroid, support progesterone production, and even influence the microbiome. In other words — without minerals, nothing else in the body works the way it should.
During preconception, your mineral status plays a direct role in your ability to ovulate regularly, maintain balanced hormones, and create a nutrient-rich environment for new life. Mineral imbalances like low magnesium, copper overload, or depleted potassium are often hidden root causes behind infertility, early miscarriages, PCOS symptoms, and irregular cycles. They don’t always show up on conventional labs — but they show up in the symptoms that get ignored.
In pregnancy, your baby draws from your mineral stores to develop their bones, brain, and nervous system — often leaving you depleted if you weren’t fully nourished beforehand. Common symptoms like fatigue, anxiety, insomnia, depression, hair loss, and postpartum rage aren’t “just hormones” — they’re often rooted in minerals that were never restored. Most prenatals can’t fix this, especially if your body isn’t absorbing or utilizing them properly due to deeper imbalances.
And in the postpartum period — when your body is healing from birth, managing new hormonal shifts, and regulating the emotional load of motherhood — minerals are essential for both physical recovery and mental stability. This is a time of intense output: breastfeeding, disrupted sleep, emotional stress, and navigating identity shifts. Your nervous system needs minerals like sodium, magnesium, calcium, and potassium to remain stable, grounded, and resilient.

As a naturopath and doula, I’m here to guide you back to the healing that was always available — the kind that starts in your cells but reaches your soul.
My approach is rooted in faith in Jesus, belief in the body’s innate wisdom, and a deep respect for the rhythms of nature that God designed for our restoration: light, rest, movement, nourishment, breath, and joy. I believe we were made to heal — but we live in a world that has pulled us out of sync with our original design. My job is to help you remember how to listen again.
Whether you’re preparing your body to conceive, supporting your baby’s development, or trying to feel whole again after birth, I meet you at the root. With compassion, with clarity, and with confidence that healing isn’t just possible — it’s promised.
KIDS + TEENS SUPPORT
When a child is struggling — whether it’s tantrums, anxiety, ADHD, tics, rage episodes, obsessive thoughts, eczema, or a diagnosis like PANS/PANDAS or autism — the first thing most parents are told is: “It’s behavioral” or “It’s genetic.”
But what if it’s biochemical?
Minerals are not just nutrients — they’re the foundation of a child’s brain, nervous system, hormones, digestion, and immune function. They’re the body’s electrical system, helping cells communicate and regulate. And when those minerals are out of balance, it doesn’t just affect energy or sleep — it affects the way a child feels, thinks, and responds to the world around them.
When we test a child's minerals through HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis), we’re not just collecting data — we’re uncovering a story. A story of nervous system stress, burnout, hidden inflammation, digestive dysfunction, or heavy metal burden… often before the body can even put it into words.
​
I created Lively Rooted to help families uncover the why behind their child’s symptoms. Using mineral testing, functional labs, and a nervous system-based lens, I offer more than just protocols — I offer peace of mind. Because when we balance the body's biochemistry, we begin to see the child underneath the symptoms.
I believe your child isn’t broken. They’re biologically overwhelmed. And I believe healing is possible — through real data, targeted support, a faith-led approach, and a deep respect for the body’s God-designed intelligence.
Because when we support the child, we support the whole family.
ADULT CARE
If you’ve been told your labs are “normal” but your body still feels off… you’re not alone.
Many adults come to me feeling exhausted, anxious, inflamed, bloated, disconnected, or burnt out — often after being passed around from doctor to doctor, prescription to prescription, without lasting answers. Maybe you’ve been told it’s just anxiety. Or your hormones. Or age. Or worse… that it’s all in your head.
But here’s what most conventional approaches miss: your mineral system is the foundation of your health — and no one’s testing it.
Minerals are your body's electrical system. They’re responsible for hormone production, thyroid function, energy creation, neurotransmitter balance, detoxification, gut motility, blood sugar regulation, and more. When your minerals are depleted or imbalanced, symptoms start showing up — often in confusing or overlapping ways. These imbalances often go undetected in bloodwork but are clearly revealed on an HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis) — one of the most underutilized tools in functional medicine.
Instead of asking why the body is struggling, many providers offer symptom management through medication — and while prescriptions can have a time and place, many of them actually deplete the very minerals your body needs to function and heal.
Antidepressants can deplete magnesium, sodium, and B vitamins. Birth control depletes zinc, magnesium, selenium, and B6. Antacids lower stomach acid and block mineral absorption altogether. The result? A cycle of deeper depletion… and often, worsening symptoms.
​
My mission is to help you step off the hamster wheel of symptom-chasing and start rebuilding from the inside out. Through testing, personalized protocols, nervous system support, and faith-based guidance, we work together to restore your body’s foundation — so that you can stop managing and start healing.
Because you don’t need another pill.
You need someone to listen, look deeper, and remind you that your body was made to heal.
