Sarah works collaboratively with each client using a highly individualized approach, meeting you precisely where you are on your unique health journey. From there, she develops a distinctive plan that serves as an overall roadmap, incorporating nutrition, supplementation, and lifestyle interventions tailored to your body’s specific needs to help regain health, prevention or address illness, and enhance vitality.
