About Floreo Health

The name Floreo comes from a Latin verb meaning I bloom, I blossom, I flourish, and I prosper. It reflects the philosophy behind my approach to health in two ways.

First, just as a flower blooms when the conditions are right—proper soil, sunlight, water, and environment—humans have an extraordinary capacity to flourish when the conditions that support health are present.

Second, Latin is an ancient language no longer spoken today, yet it forms the foundation of many modern languages. In much the same way, many of the most important principles of health are not new. They are rooted in timeless truths about how humans are designed to live, move, eat, sleep, connect, and relate to the world around them.

Today, women have access to more health information than ever before. Podcasts, books, supplements, wearable devices, social media experts, health influencers, and endless, often contradictory advice. And yet many still struggle with low energy, poor sleep, hormonal imbalances, metabolic dysfunction, digestive issues, chronic stress, and the persistent feeling that something isn't quite right.

The problem is rarely a lack of effort. More often, it's a lack of clarity. Health is far more interconnected than we've been taught to believe. Biology, behavior, relationships, environment, lived experience, beliefs, and daily habits are constantly interacting. You cannot fully understand one piece without considering the others.

At Floreo, health begins with understanding. Understanding your body, your history, and the patterns, experiences, and conditions that may be shaping how you feel today. Not as isolated symptoms to manage, but as information that can help tell a larger story.

Because flourishing doesn't happen through more information, more discipline, or another protocol. It emerges when the conditions that support health are finally in place.

The Journey to Floreo

I was raised by a physician and a nurse, which shaped my earliest understanding of health and healing. Growing up, I believed healing happened through doctors, hospitals, clinics, and medicine. I deeply respected the work my parents did, but what fascinated me was never the clinical side of healthcare. It was people: their stories, motivations, struggles, growth, and potential.

That curiosity led me to mentorship and service. I volunteered with Big Brothers Big Sisters, Girls on the Run, and assisted living communities. I've always been inspired by what's possible when people feel seen, supported, and empowered.

In college, I chose economics because it seemed versatile. What I didn't realize was that it gave language to the way my brain had always worked: systems thinking. How incentives shape behavior, how individual decisions create larger patterns, and how seemingly separate variables influence one another. That lens became the foundation for how I approached people, organizations, and eventually, health.

Over fifteen years, I built a career in leadership, sales, and fundraising, ultimately serving as Chief Development Officer of a national legal organization in Washington, DC. What I loved most wasn't fundraising. It was understanding people. With donors, that meant looking past the dollar amount to what was actually driving their decisions: their values, identity, and legacy. With my teams, it meant recognizing that performance is never just about the individual. It's about the individual in context: whether the role they're in actually fits who they are and what they do best.

While I was building that career, my health was falling apart. I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), then Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), then Alpha-Gal Syndrome. I was active, health-conscious, and doing everything I'd been told to do, and I still felt off.

My answer was the one that had always worked at work: more discipline, more willpower, more control. I treated my body like one more thing to manage. I could read a room, a donor, or a team. I couldn't read myself.

Eventually, I got curious instead of just trying harder. That turned into years of research and self-study across nutrition, metabolism, neuroscience, physiology, psychology, environmental health, and human behavior. One of the biggest turning points was wearing a continuous glucose monitor. For the first time, I could see my body responding to my everyday choices in real time. Health stopped being abstract and became a system I could understand.

I applied the same systems thinking I'd used my whole career to my own body. As I connected the dots and understood my unique health picture, I cured the illnesses I had been told I would live with indefinitely. I later pursued formal training through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and certification in 3X4 Genetics to deepen that understanding and learn how to guide others through it.

Looking back, what once seemed like separate chapters were all exploring the same question: how do interconnected systems shape outcomes? Economics, leadership, fundraising, and my own health all come back to it. The context has changed. The work hasn't.

Today, I work with high-achieving women who look a lot like I did: successful, capable, doing everything "right," and quietly wondering why they don't feel well. I bring them years of research, formal training, and the lived experience of having been exactly where they are. Because flourishing is never the result of a single intervention. It is the natural expression of aligned conditions.
