My Story

My dream is to empower all humans to become advocates for themselves and their health. In my early 20s, I found myself a victim of my own health circumstances—diagnosed with multiple autoimmune diseases and told to take medication for the rest of my life. When I sought deeper answers, I was dismissed. The medications only made me sicker, and that’s when I decided to take control of my own healing.

Since then, I’ve explored nearly every health therapy imaginable—including fecal microbial transplants (yes, I consumed “crapsules” and had a donor stool implanted in my colon!). My journey has been one of deep exploration, leading me to where I am today—helping others take charge of their health and heal on a deeper level, mind, body, and spirit.

I’m passionate about guiding both patients on their own healing journey and practitioners who want to help others do the same. Whether you're looking for answers to your own health challenges or seeking to expand your knowledge as a provider, I’m here to support, educate, and empower you every step of the way.

"After years of struggling with fatigue, brain fog, and weight gain, the Harmony Within program gave me real answers. The in-depth lab work and personalized plan helped me balance my hormones, and for the first time in years, I feel like myself again!"

- Emily R.

"I was tired of being told my symptoms were 'normal'. Working with Stephanie and her team changed everything. My labs uncovered what was really going on, and with the right support, my energy, mood, and cycles are finally back on track!"

- Sara M.

"This program was a game changer. The combination of lab testing, expert guidance, and integrative therapies helped me heal in ways I never thought possible. My hormones, digestion, and overall well-being have never been better!"

- Jessica L.

Why I Do What I do

I believe that true healing comes from addressing the root cause, not just managing symptoms. My passion for integrative medicine stems from my own journey of questioning traditional healthcare and seeing firsthand how a deeper, more personalized approach can transform lives.

As a mother, I want my daughter, Laney, to grow up in a world where health is proactive, not reactive—where she has access to care that empowers her to thrive.

As a partner, Alex and I share a vision of creating a movement that shifts how people experience healthcare, giving them the knowledge, tools, and confidence to take control of their well-being.

Every patient I work with is a reminder of why I started this journey: to help people feel heard, find answers, and achieve the vibrant health they deserve.
