Get to the root of what your body is telling you.
Functional-medicine-informed nurse coaching for women ready to move beyond quick fixes and step into lasting healing.
If you feel like “something is off,” but no one has given you answers… You’re not alone.
Your labs come back “normal”…
Your symptoms get brushed off…
Your intuition says there’s more to the story…
At Root First Nurse, we slow down, listen, and finally connect the dots so you can feel clear, strong, and at home in your body again.
For women saying: “There has to be more than this…”
Stubborn weight changes not matching your efforts
Low energy, brain fog, or feeling off most days
Mood swings, anxiety, or emotional ups and downs
Sleep changes, burnout, or chronic stress
Perimenopause or menopause shifts no one prepared you for
If you’ve been searching for real answers, you’re in the right place.

Board-Certified Nurse Coaching (AHNCC)
