Hi, I’m Selin.

the life they deserve.
After being diagnosed with IC myself, I was determined to heal my body—not just mask symptoms. Through working with top mentors in integrative medicine, gut health, and autoimmunity, I found my path to true recovery. Now, it’s my mission to empower women like you to balance their body, reduce inflammation, and navigate the complexities of IC with confidence—avoiding the painful and costly mistakes I made along the way.
Whether you're newly diagnosed or have struggled for years, I’m here to show you that full remission is not only possible, but achievable! My unique, integrative approach combines personalized nutrition, lifestyle protocols, and 1:1 coaching to help you take control of your health and live the vibrant, fulfilling life you deserve.

Autoimmune disease can develop at any age while specific ones will have typical onset age.
✔
It takes an average of 4.5 years and a minimum of
4 doctors to diagnose autoimmune disease.

What is Nutritional Therapy?
Nutritional Therapy is a science-based, holistic approach to optimal health. It focuses on understanding and resolving the underlying imbalances in the body through comprehensive functional testing and individualized protocols.
The goal is to bring the body back into its homeostasis and optimal function. Nutritional Therapy Practitioners (NTPs) are rigorously trained in the functions of the body and how diet and lifestyle shifts supports achieving that natural balance. This unique approach makes it fundamentally different than the current one-size-fits-all nutritional trends and advice.

Why work with me?
Combining an integrative, root-cause approach, I address both the physical and energetic aspects of your wellbeing for sustainable outcomes.
Personalized protocols
Natural doesn’t mean IC-healthy! Clients with auto-immunity will learn to be mindful of their diet, skincare & household products to enhance their healing and to avoid further inflammation.
Root-cause solutions
Band-aid solutions are symptom chasing without sustainable results. Instead, we’ll work together to address the underlying cause/s of your IC and find you lasting relief.
1:1 Support
This is not a diy, online program, where you are expected to figure it out alone. You’ll work directly with me so I can support your body at each stage of your healing process to get you desired results.

My approach to healing…
Your body has an innate wisdom to heal. I simply help you initiate it.
I have a food-first approach, which means properly prepared, nutrient-dense, whole food diet.
I adopt a holistic approach because true health is a whole-body affair.
I don’t follow fad diets because they are not sustainable.
Our sessions will be collaborative where you actively engage in the process.
Your body is a powerful and self-healing mechanism when given the proper support.
Nutrition and environment have a greater impact on your health than your genetics! (yup, read that again)

My short story…
From Autoimmunity to Thriving:
My story…
In 2009, I was diagnosed with an autoimmune condition called Interstitial Cystitis. IC is an auto-immune condition that impacts the kidneys and bladder, creating significant discomfort and reducing the quality of your daily life. It is a systemic inflammatory condition that requires a holistic approach to bring your body back into balance.
Conventional medicine offered no cure, only symptom masking drugs with harsh side effects. I was also determined to heal my body and gain my life back!
I desperately searched online for answers“…How can I heal and reverse my chronic illness?”, “…What quality of life do women with IC have?”.
I found a stark contrast in how Western and Alternative medicine approached chronic illness diagnosis.
While conventional medicine often views chronic illness as a means to an end, signifying the end of your vitality, conversely, alternative medicine sees it as an imbalance in the body resulting from poor diet and lifestyle factors that can be reversed.
Since every cell in our body has the capacity to regenerate, we have the power to change our lives and reverse our symptoms. This ancient wisdom is not only scientific but also empowering to the individual facing health challenges to take charge of their choices and their wellbeing.
I’m grateful to the holistic practitioners who supported me in my dark times and taught me how to advocate for myself. Now, I am here to help women in their autoimmune journey to rewrite their autoimmune story and live the life they truly desire.
Your diagnosis may define your journey, but it doesn't define your destiny.

for what only appears in the roots.” —Rumi
Frequently asked questions:
-
As a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP), my approach centers on understanding each person's unique health needs and creating an individualized protocol to support them on their health journey.
I believe true wellness can only be achieved with a holistic approach. Our body is made up of cells, tissues, organs and organ systems that need to work in harmony, just like a beautiful symphony. Dysfunction at any of these levels will create a negative ripple effect on our overall wellbeing.
With chronic illnesses on the rise, especially among school-aged children, you can see why the current one-size-fits-all approach is failing us.
I focus on addressing imbalance, deficiency, and toxicity, taking into account genetic predispositions, stress, and our modern nutrition. Through nutritional assessments and functional labs, I customize protocols to help my clients reach their health goals.
This whole-body approach has helped me on my healing journey and I am excited to help you on yours.

Nutritional therapy is a comprehensive, root-cause approach that complements allopathic medical care.
For acute emergencies or life-threatening situations, medical doctors are the frontline heroes saving lives with immediate and critical care. For prevention and ongoing management of chronic illnesses, however, a proactive and individualized focus is incredibly valuable.
Most of my clients are referred through integrative and functional medicine doctors who recognize the importance of nutrition but lack the time or in-depth training in nutrition to offer personalized guidance.
Together, we build a collaborative healthcare model that delivers a truly personalized care.
-
Anyone committed to their own health. My main focus is women and children, but my root-cause resolution approach is equally efficient regardless of gender, age, or any existing health conditions.
-
Most of my clients start seeing results in 2-3 weeks. However, it takes time and commitment to address health concerns from a root-cause approach. Just know the rewards are tremendous and your wellness is worth it!
-
Yes, as a certified Supplement Quality Specialist (SQS), all of the supplements I recommend are food based professional brands that I personally trust and use.
Most consumer grade supplements are full of synthetic ingredients and additives. Some are manufactured through highly chemical processes. I prefer to work with supplement companies that are honest and dedicated to producing high quality-supplements.
-
No, you do not need to use supplements to achieve results. I have a food-first approach that focuses on properly prepared, nutrient dense, whole food diet. I may occasionally recommend supplements therapeutically in your protocol (short-term) but our focus will mainly be on real food.
