Why I’m Here to Help
From Daily Struggle to
Joy-Filled Childhood
My Daughter’s Healing Story
These aren’t just photos — they’re proof of what’s possible.
My daughter went from living with debilitating symptoms—seizures, anxiety, rage episodes, restricted eating, and more from PANS, PANDAS, MCAS, POTS, and hEDS—to vibrant health, emotional balance, and a life full of laughter.
We didn’t get here through quick fixes or “wait and see.”
We got here by uncovering the root causes, creating a clear functional wellness plan, and taking one doable step at a time.
​
If you’ve been told there’s nothing else to try…
If you feel like you’re running out of options…
You’re not alone—and there is a path forward.
Your child’s transformation starts here.

About Me
Friend Functional Wellness was born from my personal journey of navigating both my daughter’s chronic health challenges—including autoimmune conditions, seizures, and life-threatening anaphylaxis—and my own health journey. When traditional medicine fell short, I discovered the power of functional wellness to uncover root causes and create lasting healing.
Now, I specialize in helping children with sudden, unexplained health changes and women struggling with chronic symptoms like exhaustion, brain fog, and inflammation.
Through personalized wellness plans, functional testing, and holistic approaches, I empower families to find clarity, balance, and renewed vitality.
