About Cheryl

We all have a story of how we ended up in the healing world. Mine began when I was 29 years old, just finished completing not one but TWO masters degrees in the art world. I had worked myself tooth and nail through graduate school and looking backwards now I can see the pile up of symptoms and “ism’s” since childhood.

I left graduate school and kept suffering through a system that told me “just one more round of antibiotics”, just “one more round of steroids” and I wasn’t getting better. I started to question the system that kept band-aiding me and decided to take my health into my own hands and started an epic journey of addressing the root causes of my issues: parasites, mold, hashimotos, gut issues, food intolerances, leaky gut, chronic inflammation, an immune system gone wild.

That healing journey led me to fermentation, that journey led me to health coaching, that journey led me to herbal medicine, and that journey ultimately led me into functional medicine. There is always so so so much more to the story and there is. But it’s led me here to help people reclaim their health, happiness, vitality, and become their strongest selves.

I have Certifications in Applied Functional Medicine (AFMC), Holistic Health Coaching (CHC), American Association of Drugless Practitioners (AADP), Level 1 Muscle Testing, Certified in Fermentation, Quantum Coaching and am a graduate of the New Healers Coaching Program.

Outside of helping clients, I am living my best life as a fermentation geek, artist, wife, food nut, writer, podcaster and book worm. I love bike riding, camping, record collecting, gardening, foraging, cooking and adventuring the world!
