Hi, I’m Cecily!

I know firsthand how frustrating it is to not feel well, know something isn't right, and continue being told that everything looks “normal.”

My own experience with persistent digestive issues, fatigue, hormone symptoms, and thyroid concerns is what initially led me into functional nutrition. I wanted to understand the why behind how I was feeling — not just keep trying another diet, supplement, or temporary solution.

That experience ultimately became the foundation for how I work with clients today.

I take the time to look at the bigger picture — your symptoms, health history, nutrition, lifestyle, and functional lab results — and connect the dots in a way that feels practical and understandable.

My goal is for you to leave our work together with a better understanding of your body, a clear plan forward, and the tools to feel more confident navigating your health.

I know firsthand what it’s like to not feel well, know that something isn’t right, and still be told, “Your labs are perfect. Everything’s fine!”

  • “This has been a wonderful experience of self discovery. When I first started my journey I was frustrated because I felt bloated, sick and everything I was eating including all the good veggies and grains would hurt my stomach and lead to diarrhea. It was super helpful to have someone take charge and ask you the questions that get you in tune with how your body feels after eating certain foods. She is not judgemental or pushy, but will help you celebrate even the small wins. I am thankful that I found Cecily and I can move forward and not have food control me. This has been life changing!!!”

  • “Cecily figured it out!

    I went to her with a list of issues and symptoms I'd been dealing with for as long as I can remember. After very thorough testing she was able to pin point the reason(s) of why my body was reacting the way it had been. She takes the time to really understand your history and lifestyle and how those factors, beyond the testing, could be contributing to symptoms. I learned a great deal about my body and was thrilled to discover reasons to explain how I was feeling. I would have never been able to discover these issues through a traditional Dr. or researching on my own.

    I would highly recommend her to anyone who's looking to get deeper insight into their health and wellness.”

    - Kristin R.

  • “I reached out to Cecily to help me figure out my bloating, indigestion and various stomach issues. Whenever I ate a meal I felt bloated, and got indigestion. It did not matter what I ate (tried gluten free, low carb you name it!), I always was very bloated and uncomfortable after every meal.

    Cecily put together a very thorough protocol for me to follow. Four months of treatment and I can proudly say that I feel like a new person. My stomach issues have seemingly all gone away. Indigestion is non existent, bloating is gone. I am so happy that I contacted Cecily and got my stomach in order. She really knows her stuff.”

    - Charlie W.

  • “Within a month of working with Cecily, my hormonal issues resolved, my bloating and stomach pains decreased, and my overall well being significantly improved. Something that stood out about Cecily was her dedication to get to the root of the problem. She spent time to understand when and why I had spikes in symptoms. Her nutrition plan was easy to understand, included recommended recipes, and aligned with things I already had in my kitchen. If you are considering discussing your situation with a health professional, Cecily is your woman!”

    - Kelsey W.

  • “I absolutely loved working with Cecily. I did her 6 month program and it helped SO much with my energy, bloating and PMS. She did lab testing and talked me through all the imbalances I’ve been struggling with for years and how to best address each of them. I’ve been feeling more energetic, my skin is clearer and my periods are less painful. She is also super kind and supportive, and was really thoughtful about coming up with a plan that worked for me and met my needs. Can’t recommend her enough!”

    - Arianne M.

  • “I cannot speak more highly of the positive impact Cecily has had on my overall health! I had tried everything for my stomach issues, and started to think I would have to live with them forever. I am so glad I gave her coaching a shot! Not only have my stomach issues resolved, but my overall energy is amazing. I can't remember a time feeling this great both physically and mentally!! Thank you SO much Cecily!!”

    - Natasha E.

  • “Working with Cecily really opened my eyes to exactly what my body needed and took the guess-work out of figuring out what supplements were necessary for me. With the simple, consistent, and effective protocols she created for me, fine tuned to what my body specifically needed, I’m in a much more balanced and stable state. Periods are bearable now, my seasonal eczema cleared up almost entirely, AND I have great consistent energy throughout my week.”

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Functional nutrition is a personalized approach that looks at the bigger picture of your health rather than focusing on nutrition in isolation.

    I consider your symptoms, health history, nutrition, lifestyle, and — when appropriate — functional lab testing to better understand factors that may be contributing to how you're feeling.

    From there, we use those insights to create individualized nutrition, supplement, and lifestyle recommendations designed around your needs and goals.

  • Functional lab testing can provide an additional layer of information about your health that we use alongside your symptoms and health history.

    Depending on your needs, testing may include comprehensive bloodwork, stool testing, HTMA, continuous glucose monitoring, or other functional assessments.

    Rather than looking at lab results in isolation, I use them as one piece of the bigger picture to help identify patterns, guide recommendations, and personalize your plan.

  • My approach combines functional testing with highly individualized nutrition and ongoing 1:1 support. Rather than handing you a generic protocol, I look at your symptoms, history, lifestyle, and lab results together to create recommendations specifically for you.

    I also place a strong emphasis on education. I want you to understand why we're making certain recommendations and feel confident in the plan we're creating together.

  • Every person and health journey is different, so there isn't one universal timeline. Some clients notice changes relatively quickly, while others benefit from more time and ongoing support.

    My programs are designed to give us enough time to assess, implement, and adjust your plan while supporting sustainable progress. Continued support is also available for existing clients when appropriate.

  • I don't bill insurance directly. HSA/FSA funds may be eligible depending on your individual plan. I recommend checking with your plan administrator to confirm eligibility.

  • Yes! Flexible payment plans are available for both 1:1 programs, with payment plans starting at $700/month.

  • We will meet virtually through my HIPAA-compliant client portal called Practice Better.
