The story behind Healthsteading
Founder of Healthsteading — Holistic Family Practitioner
I’m a wife, mother of three, and a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner with a background in conventional medicine and a passion for holistic healing. After earning my Master of Science in Nursing from Pace University in New York City, I spent several years working in fast-paced clinical settings — but over time, I began to sense that something was missing.
That realization deepened when my oldest child developed a complex autoimmune condition. Her journey became a turning point for our entire family. We tried many approaches along the way, but helminthic therapy - a natural approach that supports immune regulation - proved to be the most impactful step we’ve taken for her. Over time, we saw meaningful improvements — fewer flare-ups, better tolerance to foods and environments, and a calmer, more balanced immune response. Watching her gradual progress completely changed how I understand the immune system, the microbiome, and the body’s innate capacity to heal.
That experience became the seed of Healthsteading — a space built on the belief that families can take an active, confident role in their own health. Just as tending a garden or caring for a home requires consistency and understanding, so does building lasting wellness. My goal is to help others grow that same resilience and trust in their body’s capacity to heal — without feeling dependent on systems that overlook the individual.
Today, through Healthsteading, I support families and individuals using gentle, practical methods that encourage the body to restore balance and strengthen its natural defenses.
