Meet Amy

Welcome to Heal-Thy Roots! I am so glad you found your way here! I am a Board Certified Traditional Naturopathic Doctor and a Root Cause Protocol Practitioner. I look forward to getting to know you and walking alongside you as we find your path to healing. I do not diagnose and I do not prescribe any medications through big Pharma. I only use homeopathic, herbal, mineral, enzyme or whole food base supplements, tinctures and lifestyle modifications to gently nudge your body towards where it needs to be.

A little about me, my interests and how I got here:

I put my full trust in my Savior, Jesus. He has been ever to patient with my stubbornness, guiding me and leading me through all of life's valley's of anxiety and even despair that life can sometimes bring, as well as the mountain tops of joy that He promises, never leaving my side.

I am a mom to 3 magnificent young adults who I am incredibly proud of. They are my why for everything in life aside from God. My son is the oldest and in typical big brother fashion think's he's the wisest of his siblings often giving them a hard time, taking delight in pushing all of their buttons, but he loves them fiercely and is very protective of his sisters. He is a commercial pilot living in Pennsylvania. My middle daughter is the true middle child, sarcastic, funny, very easy going unless you wrong her in some way and if you do, you better watch out because she is force to be reckoned with. She marches to beat of her own drum and is incredibly independent. She attends Truett McConnell University pursuing a degree in business while she discovers her true calling and passion. My youngest daughter  is a senior finishing up homeschool and attending Truett McConnell as a dual enrollment student. She is most definitely the baby of the family. She can be loud, very spirited, and is known for her unfiltered truth bombs. At the same time she is incredibly empathetic, loyal and very sensitive. She is planning to become a nurse midwife, though that could change. My kids are all so different, yet all so much alike and they compliment each other perfectly. 

My passion for natural healing was a journey. It was an intense journey to get here, traveling through my own sickness, grief, worry, despair, anxiety and lots of heartache. Beginning 20 years ago I struggled with unexplained health issues, my children were vaccine injured (some would argue that because some of the symptoms they suffered have become so common that it's not considered normal. I'll tell you it's not!)  I saw family suffer much sickness, some passing away much too soon. As a young mom, I went looking for answers to my children's struggles, my own mystery symptoms and my then husband's health issues. My then husband suffered IBS, sleep apnea, gut dysbiosis, and anxiety as well. I racked up a long list of ailments such as high blood pressure, anxiety, panic attacks, chronic sinus problems, kidney stones, hives, and gut issues that I thought were normal as a kid. I was sent to medical specialist after specialist from hematology oncologists, cardiologists, allergy specialists, gynecologists and never got answers, only a new RX to numb or quiet the symptoms I was there for. I went on a long journey to find answers, reading, researching, experimenting on all of us and eventually finding answers and solving our symptoms. I eventually ended up back in school taking a couple breaks along the way because my kids and family came first. Well, now here I am excited and ready to walk along beside you on your journey to true wellness and healing.

As a society we have largely been mis-led and mis-fed for many many years. My goal is to shed some uncomfortable truths, teach and walk beside you helping you to know your body better, know what it should be doing and helping you to learn how to heal, discovering what true health feels like, while restoring your energy and joy to your body mind and spirit! 

Are you ready to come along on your own journey?
