let’s get to the root of your symptoms and get you healed

I’m so glad you found your way here. I created LaCarte Wellness to support women who were tired of feeling unwell and who wanted to heal from conditions that were affecting their ability to fully enjoy life. Women who are mothers, partners and friends, and who needed guidance to regain their health.

After experiencing years of infertility, painful periods due to fibroids, and the debilitating fatigue, brain fog and night sweats caused by hormone imbalances, I decided to expand my clinical skills to learn how to heal myself. Once I understood the root causes of my symptoms, and discovered what foods and lifestyle changes I needed to regain my sense of wellness, I knew I had to share this with other women like me.

If you have been struggling to live life dealing with the effects of heavy periods, PCOS, perimenopause or thyroid conditions, if your concerns have been dismissed by doctors and other healthcare providers, and if you are tired of relying solely on medications to manage your symptoms- we are here to tell you- your symptoms are not all in your head, and there is a different way.

We would love to work with you and to help you regain your health and sense of self. We can’t wait to support you to wellness!
