Maybe — but don’t worry, I’m not about to confiscate your coffee or make you live off congee (unless you’re into that).

I take a whole-person approach to health, which means I look beyond your symptoms to understand what’s really going on underneath. Sometimes, that leads us to gentle lifestyle or dietary tweaks that can make a huge difference to how you feel — and how quickly you see results.

But here’s the thing: this isn’t about restriction, guilt, or overhauling your life overnight. We’re not interested in giving you a long list of “don’ts.” What I’m really interested in is helping you feel better — and sometimes that means helping you discover what’s actually supportive for your body, based on thousands of years of Chinese medicine wisdom.

That might look like adding warming foods if you’re always cold, cutting back on raw salads if your digestion’s a bit sluggish, or finding ways to wind down in the evening that don’t involve scrolling until midnight. And I’ll tailor these suggestions to you — your constitution, your symptoms, and your real life (yes, even the chaotic parts); it’s about working with you, your life, and your circumstances.

And if change feels hard? That’s okay. I’ll meet you where you’re at, offer ideas that are practical and sustainable, and support you every step of the way. You’re not being judged — you’re being supported.

So no, I won’t make you give up everything you love (I’m not a monster). But together, we might help you discover new things that help you feel clearer, calmer, and more like yourself again. (And who knows — congee might even win you over after all.)
