My Services
Unlike conventional or even “natural” approaches to health, functional nutrition addresses health issues by finding root causes and building from there. There is no “one-size-fits-all” – it’s all about you and what it best for your body. There are generally five steps to this process and is customized for you. Contact me for options best suited for you.

More of my story...
My journey into natural health was a very gradual one that began while I was in the Air Force. I was pregnant and my first prenatal appointment at the military hospital was the worst experience I’d had with the medical community up to that point. I won’t go into details, but I left there and went straight home and looked up “Midwife” in the Yellow Pages. In 1985 I had the most amazing pregnancy and birthing experience, so much so that I became a Natural Childbirth Educator and Birth Attendant.
Hanging around that community gave me my first insight into natural remedies for pain, nausea and many women’s issues. Healthy nutrition was the clarion call as we started out working with newly expectant parents.
Many years later I became familiar with the wonderful world of holistic chiropractic care. Around this time, I also observed a good friend reverse her and her daughter’s thyroid issues with homeopathy and essential oils. I began to learn the amazing benefits of essential oils and am a proponent of them to this day.
Shortly after this my mother came to live with us. She was on nine different prescriptions! Within 4-6 months, using nutrition, supplements, and essential oils, she was down to three meds and was a new woman! She had more energy, major improvement in her short-term memory, less pain, and was a much happier person. The change was so dramatic that I made the decision to make natural health care a focus after my retirement in some way.
In 2016 my mom died of radiation poisoning –- a medical treatment given her to shrink metastatic brain cancer. It was supposed to extend her life by months but instead took it in six weeks. That solidified my decision as I spent many months focused on researching safer and more effective cancer treatments.
Following retirement from a full-time corporate leadership role and a move to Southern Oregon, I was diagnosed with pre-diabetes (which I later learned was brought on by years of taking beta-blockers for what I was told was genetic hypertension). My integrative doctor recommended a vegan diet. Not only did it not lower my A1C, but it also made me miserable cooking separate meals! In a few months I was in the diabetic range. I learned about a local clinic through a friend who offered a program through which she reversed her diabetes. I went through that program at Rosa Transformational Health and reversed my hypertension within the first month. Once I weaned myself off that Rx, my blood sugar also began to lower. Within two months my A1C was completely within normal range, and I learned SO much more about nutrition, supplementation, and natural hormone therapy.
A year later I accepted a position at that Rosa as a Program Health Coach. During that time, I worked with many clients who experienced the same amazing results as I did, and much more! After a year with the clinic and experiencing tremendous joy in this new role, as well as helping friends and family, I entered into a Mastery Certification with Functional Nutrition Alliance’s Full Body Systems program, from which I graduated in the Fall of 2021. Due to the impact of restrictions on businesses implemented to allegedly combat the CCP virus, Rosa experienced a significant downsizing in 2020 as we went completely virtual. A number of format changes in the ensuing months resulted in a new direction of creating online content that would allow a far greater audience to learn and implement the practices that have been so very successful in the face-to-face setting. This online program launched in January 2022.
There are SO many aspects of natural health and so much to learn! I believe in life-long learning and that we should never stop growing in knowledge. I look forward to learning more and to helping others learn. I also firmly believe that there is no “one-size-fits-all” –- God created each and every one of us to be unique and reflect different facets of His character. Learning about what works for us nutritionally is a personal journey, and while some things are common to all, not all things are best for all. So, here’s to YOUR journey to learn what’s best for YOU, what amazing things God has made you to do, and positive changes made in physical, mental and spiritual wellness that result in greater health and joy!
