Welcome friend!

In my practice I specialize in root-cause healing, specifically around gut health, hormone imbalances and metabolic conditions.

My Story…

My passion for digestive health, hormonal, and metabolic conditions stems from my experience with chronic health issues starting 15+ years ago. 

How it started…

I found myself in my early twenties experiencing a long list of health issues - fatigue, low thyroid, digestive distress, PMS, poor sleep, skin issues, brain fog - you name it! After hearing the same thing from doctors over and over, “your lab results came back normal”, I knew I had to take matters into my own hands… which is how I found my way to functional medicine.

My turning point…

Through functional lab testing and other functional healing methods, I was able to reverse all of my symptoms naturally and truly find freedom and happiness within my body. Seeing the power functional medicine had on my body and learning through the process made me realize that this is what I was put on this earth to do - to educate, empower & support others through functional medicine. 

I now serve women like YOU who are struggling to find answers to their health. I encourage you to tackle your health struggles from a functional perspective utilizing the right labs and techniques to help heal and support your body. It will be the best investment you will make in your life!

“I know firsthand what it’s like to not feel well and know that something’s not right and to be told, “Your labs are perfect, everything’s fine!”

  • “This has been a wonderful experience of self discovery. When I first started my journey I was frustrated because I felt bloated, sick and everything I was eating including all the good veggies and grains would hurt my stomach and lead to diarrhea. It was super helpful to have someone take charge and ask you the questions that get you in tune with how your body feels after eating certain foods. She is not judgemental or pushy, but will help you celebrate even the small wins. I am thankful that I found Cecily and I can move forward and not have food control me. This has been life changing!!!”

    Renee D.

  • “Within a month of working with Cecily, my hormonal issues resolved, my bloating and stomach pains decreased, and my overall well being significantly improved. Something that stood out about Cecily was her dedication to get to the root of the problem. She spent time to understand when and why I had spikes in symptoms. Her nutrition plan was easy to understand, included recommended recipes, and aligned with things I already had in my kitchen. If you are considering discussing your situation with a health professional, Cecily is your woman!”

    Kelsey W.

  • “I absolutely loved working with Cecily. I did her 6 month program and it helped SO much with my energy, bloating and PMS. She did lab testing and talked me through all the imbalances I’ve been struggling with for years and how to best address each of them. I’ve been feeling more energetic, my skin is clearer and my periods are less painful. She is also super kind and supportive, and was really thoughtful about coming up with a plan that worked for me and met my needs. Can’t recommend her enough!”

    Arianne M.

  • “I cannot speak more highly of the positive impact Cecily has had on my overall health! I had tried everything for my stomach issues, and started to think I would have to live with them forever. I am so glad I gave her coaching a shot! Not only have my stomach issues resolved, but my overall energy is amazing. I can't remember a time feeling this great both physically and mentally!! Thank you SO much Cecily!!”

    Natasha E.

  • “I reached out to Cecily to help me figure out my bloating, indigestion and various stomach issues. Whenever I ate a meal I felt bloated, and got indigestion. It did not matter what I ate (tried gluten free, low carb you name it!), I always was very bloated and uncomfortable after every meal.

    Cecily put together a very thorough protocol for me to follow. Four months of treatment and I can proudly say that I feel like a new person. My stomach issues have seemingly all gone away. Indigestion is non existent, bloating is gone. I am so happy that I contacted Cecily and got my stomach in order. She really knows her stuff.”

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Functional nutrition is a personalized, root-cause approach to healing that focuses on understanding and addressing the underlying factors contributing to your health symptoms. Unlike conventional nutrition, which often looks at treating symptoms alone, functional nutrition digs deeper into your unique body chemistry, lifestyle, and environment.

    I use functional nutrition to help you understand why you're experiencing issues like bloating, constipation, fatigue, etc. We look at how your body is functioning at a deeper level, using tools like functional lab testing (GI MAP, HTMA, bloodwork, etc.) to uncover any imbalances, deficiencies, or hidden stressors.

    The goal is not just symptom relief, but long-term healing and sustainable changes.

  • A root-cause approach is all about getting to the bottom of why you’re experiencing symptoms like bloating, constipation or fatigue, rather than just masking them with temporary fixes. It’s about looking at the bigger picture of your health—understanding how all the pieces of your body are interconnected—and identifying the underlying issues that are causing your symptoms to persist.

    For example, if you're dealing with constant bloating, a root-cause approach doesn’t just recommend a change in your diet. We dive deeper to explore things like gut health, stress levels, nutrient deficiencies, etc. By using functional lab testing and a comprehensive look at your lifestyle, we uncover the root causes of your health challenges.

    Once we identify these root causes, we work together to create a personalized plan to address them, using natural, sustainable strategies that help your body heal and function optimally.

  • Functional lab testing can provide us with a very deep understanding as to WHY dysfunction in the body is occurring, and is extremely effective in coming up with targeted strategies to restore balance and improve symptoms. Unlike conventional lab tests that are typically used to diagnose diseases, functional lab testing looks for deeper insights into how the body is functioning.

    Functional lab testing is often used to address root causes of symptoms like digestive problems, hormonal imbalances, and metabolic conditions. Functional labs provide data that gives us a deep understanding of the underlying causes of symptoms rather than just treating the symptoms.

    Functional testing may include blood, stool, urine, saliva or hair samples (most of which can be completed in the privacy of your home) to provide information about a variety of systems including hormonal, GI, metabolic, nutritional, immune, genetic, detoxification & more.

  • Most approaches focus on treating symptoms.

    Be Radiantly Alive goes deeper to uncover why your symptoms are happening in the first place, and resolves them for good using:

    • Comprehensive Functional Testing: No more guessing. Together, we’ll uncover the imbalances in your gut, hormones, and metabolism that are driving your symptoms.

    • Personalized Protocols: You will not find cookie-cutter solutions here. Your healing plan will be customized to fit your body’s specific needs, with adjustments as you progress.

    • Unlimited Support: You’re never alone in this journey. I’ll be there every step of the way, providing encouragement, accountability, and clear guidance.

  • It all depends on the individual as everyone is very different. I work with clients for a minimum of 4 months. For many clients, 4 months is enough time to make long-term progress, but it can absolutely take longer depending on the person which is why I offer a monthly maintenance option to extend our time together if needed.

  • I accept HSA and FSA but I am not in- network with any health insurance providers, so I do not accept insurance directly at this time. I am able to facilitate health insurance reimbursement at no additional cost, in which case you would need a referral from your primary physician.

  • Yes! I offer a monthly payment plan option for my 4-month program. The payment plan price is $840/month and includes all functional labs.

  • We will meet virtually through my HIPAA-compliant client portal called Practice Better.
