Welcome!
My journey into natural healing didn’t begin in a classroom — it began in motherhood.
For over 20 years, I worked as a Pilates and fitness instructor, helping women build strength, improve mobility, and reconnect with their bodies. I loved watching women grow stronger physically… but after the birth of my twins, I began to understand that true healing goes far beyond movement alone.
Like many mothers, I found myself depleted, overwhelmed, and searching for answers that conventional medicine wasn’t providing. That’s when I discovered herbal and homeopathic medicine — and everything changed.
I began studying herbalism under Dr. Aviva Romm, and what started as a personal journey quickly became a passion. I saw how gentle, natural approaches could help support hormones, calm anxiety, improve sleep, and restore energy — not by masking symptoms, but by addressing the root cause.
Over the past five years, I’ve continued expanding my education through functional and integrative medicine with Dr. Jess, learning how underlying challenges like mold exposure, Lyme disease, heavy metals, nutrient deficiencies, and hormone imbalances can quietly impact how we feel every day.
And now, as I navigate my own perimenopausal years, I understand even more deeply what so many women experience — the mood shifts, sleep struggles, anxiety, fatigue, and the feeling that your body is changing in ways you don’t quite recognize.
This stage of life doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. With the right support, it can be a time of calm, clarity, and renewed strength.
I believe bioidentical hormones can be helpful for some women, especially in the short term — but my goal is always to work toward deeper healing. Together, we look at the full picture: your symptoms, your bloodwork, your lifestyle, and your story. Because healing doesn’t happen in isolation — it happens when we understand how everything connects.
Through virtual health consultations and limited in-home sessions for clients near Cold Spring, I work closely with women to create personalized wellness plans. I also craft customized herbal remedies tailored specifically to your body and your needs.
My approach is gentle, thoughtful, and rooted in the belief that your body wants to heal — it just needs the right support.
Because when we stop treating symptoms one by one…
and start looking at the whole person…
That’s when women begin to feel calm again.
Balanced again.
And truly at home in their bodies again. 🌿
I'm so glad you're here.
How did this all begin?
2013 - We had twins!
2015 Pelvic Pow-HER was Created
As a STOTT PILATES instructor trainer and owner of a Pilates studio, I began teaching mothers how to strengthen their core and pelvic floor with my signature course, Pelvic Pow-HER.
I started to realize so many moms struggled with incontinence, losing body weight, and feeling overwhelmed. I offered health consultations to my clients to introduce them to herbal medicine. Clients started coming off SSRIs and using herbs to feel calm.
As an herbalist, I wanted to use little to no medications during childbirth and then with my infants.
But I didn’t anticipate the insomnia, anxiety, rage, and depression that would follow having twins. I knew I didn’t want to take medications, as they had never really worked for me; so I enrolled to become a certified women’s herbal educator with Dr. Aviva Romm, all while raising twins and running a business!!!
2017 The Present Momma Was Created
In 2017, I chose to close my beloved Pilates studio to care for my twins. It was one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever made.
I began sharing herbal remedies to help moms heal depression, anxiety, insomnia, and rage with my online course, The Present Momma.
2020, my husband passed away in front of me.
We moved into a house with mold, the pandemic hit, and then my husband passed away in front of me. I took time away from teaching to heal.
This pause and ability to heal taught me about nervous system regulation, the MTHFR gene, and how our environment impacts our health, our digestion, and our nervous system.
Healing is easy - it's about filling your nutrient gaps. Let me show you how.
2025
I now offer private consultations for women of all ages and online herbal medicine education.
As an herbalist, I look at your full health history, current symptoms, and as an investigator, I connect your symptoms to your health history and create a customized, personalized health plan for your unique needs.
My online mini-courses are an affordable way to work with me.
These Days…
✔ We're a lively bunch of four, counting our energized boxer, Chase, who's become the heart and soul of our family since my husband's passing in 2020.
✔ When I'm not immersed in work, you'll often catch me lost in the pages of my Kindle, concocting herbal tinctures in my makeshift lab (aka kitchen), tending to my little slice of paradise in the garden, or embarking on hikes in the Hudson Valley.
✔ I specialize in Health Consultations with remedies for women’s health from menarche to menopause.
✔ I offer Pelvic Pow-HER to our community in the Cold Spring, NY area for moms to connect to their center again.
✔ The Present Momma is an online support and community for moms who want to get to the root cause of their postpartum symptoms, like anxiety, depression, rage, and insomnia, and are determined to heal naturally with herbal medicine and holistic strategies. Even if your children are older, even if you’re breastfeeding.
Please join me in sharing this information. No other mother should suffer for decades after having children.
