My Journey into Holistic Healing
Healing is the process of restoring health—rebalancing what has become unwell, depleted, or disconnected.

When my husband Frederick began experiencing complications from a failing kidney transplant early in our marriage—followed by nearly a decade of rejections and setbacks—I was devastated.
I felt helpless, overwhelmed, and terrified watching the person I love suffer, not knowing how to help.
That pain became my turning point.
I made a decision that would change the course of my life: to understand the body, its healing systems, and how to support it naturally.
That path led me into the world of Holistic Health—and ultimately to you.
From Personal Pain to Professional Purpose
After graduating from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN), I began interning as a clinical medical researcher alongside a respected herbalist and functional medicine doctor.
Soon, I was supporting private clients—identifying and correcting nutritional imbalances, deficiencies, and underlying root causes of their symptoms.
What I discovered was profound: even the smallest changes in nutrition and lifestyle began to shift the needle in my husband’s health. And that meant everything.
Hungry for deeper understanding, I enrolled in the Nutritional Therapy Association (NTA) and became a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (FNTP). That training expanded my foundation in biochemistry and human physiology, and reinforced one truth I had already begun to see firsthand:
When given the proper nutrients, rhythm, and support, the body can heal itself.
This Is My Life’s Work
What began as a mission to save my husband, became my lifelong calling—for myself and for others.
Along the way, I’ve learned that healing is not linear, and it’s not just physical.
It’s emotional. It’s energetic. It’s deeply personal. And it requires one essential ingredient: self-trust.
Your body has an innate wisdom far greater than most of us are ever taught to understand. When we listen to it, nourish it, and remove the blocks—it knows how to heal.
Healing is how we reclaim our power.
My Professional Credentials
In 2021, I earned my Board Certification in Holistic Nutrition®, which represents the highest professional recognition in the field. This ensures I provide science-backed, safe, and effective support rooted in the latest nutritional research. To maintain this credential, I regularly complete extensive continuing education.
I am also a proud professional member of the National Association of Nutrition Professionals (NANP), and a Certified Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapist, with training in how trauma lives in the body—not just the mind.
Because true healing happens when we treat the whole person: body, mind, and spirit.
"The first time I went to Judy I was starting to feel badly in general. She put me on a strict regimen according to her specific Blood work breakdown with nutrients that I was missing and chosen specifically for me. Within a few months I was a different , energized person. The second time several years later I came back to Judy was because I noticed that over time my metabolism was slowing down and I wasnt following things as well . Even though I worked out regularly and ate properly I kept putting on weight until once again Judy figured out why my body was inflamed and not absorbing or digesting my food properly . Since I started I lost my “bloating” , kept it off, eat better for my body and feel great. Judy educates her clients about food and how the body works in a way no one else does."

"I was sick and couldn’t live a functional life for my entire adult life. No regular physician could figure out what was wrong with me. Only Judy was smart enough to look at absolutely every angle and ask the right questions to be able to properly figure out what was really going on in my body. She also helped me lose a tremendous amount of weight in a healthy and long lasting way. Because of Judy I am the healthiest I have ever been in my entire life and living a fulfilled, happy, and functional life. As an added bonus, Judy is willing to talk to me every day to make sure I stay on track. She is that dedicated to her clients success. It is the highlight of my day. I cannot recommend Judy enough."

I think the most important quality about Judy - is her dependability. She is there for you when you need her , and she gives complete answers with clarity making sure you understand what is going on in your body instead of nutrition jargon that no one understands !! Thank you for spreading health awareness, and how to properly take care of oneself according to one’s bio-individual needs ( see Judy I learned these words from you !!! Lol and always always smiling , you will not find a more genuine smile than hers.
