hi, I'm Dora
I'm so glad you found your way here.
For years now, I've walked alongside hundreds of women as they balanced their hormones, grew their families, and started feeling like themselves again. And I'd love to do the same for you (and, when the time is right, for your little ones too).
Functional medicine is my whole heart. I love looking deeper than the symptom in front of us and asking the question so many women have stopped being asked: why am I so exhausted? why my period is so painful? why is my period gone? why I can't get pregnant when everything is normal?
Because there's always an explanation, it simply has to be discovered.
As a certified functional medicine health coach, I believe that with the right tools and someone in your corner, you have the power to reclaim your health and your family's. My own journey through loss, healing, and motherhood is what brought me here, and it means the world that you've trusted me to walk part of this road with you.

Now let me tell you my story…
A few years ago, I was handed a stack of diagnoses: Polyendocrine Metabolic Syndrome (PMOS, former PCOS), Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, and gut issues (SIBO and dysbiosis). Conventional care offered a little relief, but never reached the heart of why my body was struggling.
I wanted to heal naturally, from the root. That's when functional medicine found me, and within weeks of changing how I ate, moved, and cared for my nervous system, I felt a shift I hadn't felt in years.
One year later I became pregnant, but that came with some challenges as was diagnosed with a subchorionic hematoma. Even with everything I knew, my pregnancy got more complicated, and at 23 weeks I went into premature labor and lost my baby. The grief was heavy, and recovery was some of the hardest work of my life. But I kept nourishing my body with real food, gentle movement, rest, and a whole lot of self-compassion.
After nine months of patiently optimizing my fertility and coaxing my body out of survival mode, I conceived my daughter, Margot, and had the healthy pregnancy and natural birth I'd always dreamed of.
That season taught me what no textbook could — about hormones, loss, and how powerfully our bodies respond when we support them at the root. It's why I do this work: to help you balance your hormones, grow your family if that's your dream, and build changes that last.
And then I became a mom…
and the work grew
As I supported more women through their hormones and fertility, they began asking about their kids: the eczema, the sleepless nights, the constipation, the big moods. I knew that feeling of being told "it's probably nothing," so I went deeper into pediatric root-cause work, because kids' symptoms so often reflect imbalances we can support.
It hit closest to home with Margot. My happy girl had struggled since babyhood with eczema-prone skin, constipation, and big emotions. Out of a mama's curiosity, I ran an HTMA — and was stunned by how depleted her minerals were, even though she's a wonderful eater. We rebuilt her minerals with a simple protocol and gentle diet shifts, and soon her bowel movements regulated, her skin cleared, and those big feelings softened. Today she's thriving — loving school, making friends, and getting to be a joyful little girl.
So my practice now holds two kinds of moms — often the same mom in two seasons: the woman ready to balance her hormones, heal her gut, or grow her family, and the mom aching for real answers for her child. Wherever you are, you're in the right place.
This Might Be You
You're past the newborn months, six months postpartum or years in, and still don't feel like you: the exhaustion, mood swings, restless sleep, skin or gut issues, cycles that feel off.
Or you're trying to conceive. Maybe after a loss, maybe handed "unexplained" with no real follow-up, and you're ready to support your fertility at the root instead of waiting.
Or maybe it's your child: the eczema, restless nights, tummy troubles, allergies, or worrying behaviors, and appointments that left you with more questions than answers.
New to functional medicine or already fluent in HTMA, you've realized that real, root-cause support for women's health, fertility, and kids is hard to find.
That's the gap I built this practice to fill.
