Addressing environmental toxin exposures + nutrition for improved health outcomes.
As a Certified Functional Nutrition Counselor and Environmental Toxins Educator, I started Lower Tox Living to help bridge the gaps that exist in conventional healthcare today. The most overlooked factor in chronic health issues is everyday environmental exposures and our body’s ability to clear these.
I help navigate the process of reducing daily exposures to environmental toxins (avoidance) while helping to maximize the body’s innate detox capabilities, and reduce inflammation, through better nutrition.
Combining environmental health with functional nutrition allows me to take a unique approach and focus on both the internal and external environments that are driving chronic health issues.
Could this be the missing link in your health journey?

What I Do
Holistic, Science-Informed Support for a Healthier Home + Healthier Body
I complement the work of your existing care team by working with individuals and families—from pre-conception through parenthood and beyond—to identify the hidden exposures and deficiencies that quietly impact health, hormones, fertility, and overall wellbeing.
My approach combines environmental health guidance, symptom-informed nutrition support, and practical lifestyle adjustments that fit real life.
Together, we take clear, manageable steps that help your body do what it’s designed to do: detoxify, balance, and thrive.
The Most Overlooked Factor in Chronic Health Issues
Everyday environmental exposures—through the foods we eat, what we put on our bodies, and the air we breathe—can have a powerful impact on how we feel. Add to that nutritional deficiencies, either due to diet or mal-absorption of nutrients, and many people begin experiencing chronic or confusing symptoms like:
Digestive issues (bloating, nausea, constipation, new sensitivities)
PMS, hormonal swings, irregular periods, fertility challenges, early or extreme peri-menopause symptoms
Thyroid concerns
Brain fog, chronic fatigue, headaches, migraines
Skin issues (acne, eczema, rosacea, rashes)
Chemical sensitivity + histamine issues
Anxiety, irritability, low mood
Hair loss
Chronic infections
Allergies + asthma
Poor sleep
Auto-immune issues & more!
These symptoms are often your body’s early warning signs that it’s in need of support.
The good news?
When addressed early, many of these symptoms can improve or resolve. Some of us simply need additional support due to modern exposures, genetics, diet, or chronic overwhelm.
Why Lower Tox Living Matters
Even though we’re living longer, our health outcomes tell a different story. Fertility challenges are rising, chronic illness is affecting people earlier, and developmental disorders in children are becoming increasingly common.
While genetics and lifestyle play a role, our environment has a profound impact on our bodies. Everyday products, air quality, and even our food and water supply can quietly introduce chemicals that accumulate over time. The founding president of Bastyr University put it simply: “Toxicity is the primary driver of disease.”
Looking at these stats, it’s easy to see why:
# of chemicals automatically presumed safe and grandfathered in when the Toxic Substances Control Act was passed
# of chemicals used in personal care products - the majority of which have never been evaluated for safety
years since the Safe Drinking Water Act was updated, even though many new contaminants in drinking water have been identified
# of man-made chemicals in our bodies, according to the CDC
the amount that sperm counts in Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand have declined since 1973
According to the EPA, indoor air can be 2-5 times and as much as 100 times worse than outdoor air, exposing us to chemicals in dust and air.
Why Work Together
If you’re experiencing mystery symptoms or fertility challenges, but unable to find answers, this may be the missing link in your health journey. Or maybe you’re trying to have a healthier home for your family, but feel overwhelmed with all of the conflicting health and nutrition advice out there. I get it…there’s so much mis-information and clean/greenwashing of products that it’s extremely hard to know what to believe.
You deserve guidance that’s clear, credible, and doable. My goal is to take the stress out of this process by giving you practical steps, science-backed recommendations, and simple, personalized solutions that work for real life and real families.
A healthier home (and body) is within reach
After working together, you will:
Feel more confident choosing cleaning, laundry, personal care, and household products
Improve the indoor air quality throughout your home
Understand how toxins can hide in food, packaging, cookware, and more
Know exactly which water contaminants affect your area — and the right filter to choose
Identify the biggest opportunities for reducing daily toxin exposures for your family
Gain clear guidance on how to adjust diet to address nutritional deficiencies and/or sensitivities + optimize detox pathways
Take meaningful steps to reduce your body burden, reduce inflammation, and support long-term wellness
While total avoidance isn’t possible, awareness and action make a tangible difference. Together we’ll simplify the process and bring more peace of mind to your home and health journey.
