I’m a retired pharmacist turned functional medicine provider and like many midlife women, I was blindsided by perimenopause.

At 41, as I swapped out my winter sweaters for summer clothes, I tried on a pair of crop pants that suddenly wouldn’t zip. I stepped on the scale and realized I had gained 20 pounds seemingly overnight. It was like my body changed without warning. I tried eating less and exercising more but nothing worked. The old tricks no longer applied.

One night, exhausted and frustrated, I realized I hadn’t even tried the very program I had created for others: the Living Light Metabolic Reset. I committed to following it myself, and everything started to shift. The stubborn belly fat melted, my energy came back, I started sleeping through the night, and for the first time in a long time, I felt like me again.

But this journey started long before that.

As a hospital pharmacist, I worked in the oncology unit alongside oncologists to manage chemotherapy regimens and reduce side effects. It opened my eyes to how much suffering could be prevented with the right support and lifestyle. I became passionate about disease prevention, root-cause healing, and giving people the tools to thrive, not just survive.

After enduring three surgeries postpartum, I also experienced firsthand how nutrition, mindset, and lifestyle choices play a critical role in recovery and vitality.

Today, I run the Living Light Metabolic Reset, a 10-week lifestyle transformation program for midlife women who want to lose weight, balance hormones, sleep better, and feel more energized, clear, and confident in their bodies again. I believe you are not broken. Your body just needs a new approach. And I’m here to help you find it.
