where sisters come together

Welcome!

I'm Whitney, a registered dietitian nutritionist with a deep passion for women's health.

Growing up as an Asian American, I discovered the incredible power of food to connect, nourish, and heal both our bodies and souls. Cooking became my love language, and I delved into the wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine, discovering how food can harmonize and restore balance in the face of chronic ailments. This discovery propelled me toward a career in nutrition.

As I entered adulthood, I found myself caught up in the burnout culture, ignoring my bodily needs, letting stress get the best of me, and facing my own health challenges along the way. Despite my dedication to "healthy balanced eating" and exercise, I encountered struggles like irregular periods, hair loss, brain fog, fatigue, digestion issues, and acne. Seeking help from conventional practitioners, I was met with dismissive remarks that left me feeling unheard and unsatisfied with “your labs look normal”. Deep inside, I knew that true healing went beyond a simple pill.

Driven to find answers, I embarked on a transformative journey of self-discovery. I sought out doctors and functional dietitians who would genuinely listen and understand my concerns. Through extensive lab testing, ultrasounds, I was eventually diagnosed with PCOS. Coupled with my dietitian background, I went through exhaustive research and addressed the root causes of my ailments. I uncovered the remarkable power of personalized nutrition and holistic lifestyle interventions. Now, I'm here to guide you on your own path to optimal health and well-being.

My approach is rooted in uncovering root causes, where we dig deep to uncover the underlying reasons behind your symptoms. By utilizing specialized lab tests, we gain valuable insights that inform your healing journey. But it doesn't stop there. I firmly believe in the importance of mindful and intuitive eating practices, empowering you to become the expert of your own body, understanding its unique needs, and nourishing it accordingly. Because I recognize everyone’s body is different, I can help you listen, learn from, and provide for your body.

Together, we'll embark on a remarkable journey of health and self-discovery. Remember, you're never alone in this pursuit. I'm here to support you every step of the way, providing personalized nutrition guidance and fostering a holistic approach that encompasses your mental, emotional, and physical well-being.

So, step into this empowering space and unlock the full potential of your body.

Embrace the confidence that comes with nourishing yourself in the most wholesome and fulfilling way. Let's work together to unleash the most vibrant, powerful version of yourself. Together, we will help you embody the fullness of yourself, carrying safety and wisdom as you go through life.
