Let’s Look at the Bigger Picture

Migraine is influenced by a lot more than individual triggers. Things like nutrition, sleep, stress, hormones, and nervous system function can all affect how susceptible you are to attacks.

My approach focuses on understanding those connections and finding practical ways to support your migraine threshold through nutrition and lifestyle.

Inside my work, we focus on the areas that most strongly influence migraine resilience:

  • Nutrition and nutrient sufficiency

  • Blood sugar regulation

  • Gut health and digestion

  • Stress, sleep, and nervous system regulation

  • Hormonal influences on migraine

This approach is the foundation of my RYT Migraine Care Program and my personalized 1:1 work.
