I trained to be the provider I couldn’t find for myself.

My story

You probably found me because you’ve already tried what you were told to try. Maybe surgery. Maybe birth control, or Lupron, or another pill. Maybe more than one surgery. And you’re still in pain — or bracing for the next procedure, hoping this time is different.

I know that place, because I lived it. I had two excision surgeries. I spent more than $125,000 chasing answers. By the time I was 30, I was seriously considering a hysterectomy — not because anyone promised it would work, but because I was out of other ideas.

What I eventually learned changed everything: the lesions were only part of the story. My pain was being driven by systems no one was looking at — my gut, my hormones, my immune system, my nervous system. Once I treated the whole picture, my body finally quieted down.

So I trained to become the provider I couldn’t find for myself — at UCSF, and then in functional medicine, hormone optimization, chronic-pain neuroscience, and sexual health. Everything Luteal Health does grew out of that search.

I’m not anti-surgery. I’m pro-treating the whole disease. Today, endometriosis is a diagnosis I carry — not something I struggle with. That’s the place I want to help you reach.

What I do

Endometriosis isn’t a gynecological problem. It’s a systemic disease that happens to show up in the pelvis — driven by inflammation across six body systems, and a nervous system that learns to amplify pain.

I help you address all of it, and coordinate the rest of your care — so you can stop being your own care coordinator.

Stop making endo your whole life.
