Struggling with frustrating symptoms, wasted time, and solutions that don't work?
Where Do I Start?
The best place to start is with one of the Rooted Assessments
A personalized wellness support plan built around your health history and goals. We uncover hidden stressors and patterns holding you back—then map a clear, integrative path forward. Includes a screen-recorded video walkthrough and a custom blueprint of actionable next steps.
Everything in Rooted Foundations, plus HTMA (hair tissue mineral analysis) testing to reveal what standard labs often miss—mineral imbalances, heavy metal burden, and your body's true stress response. Ideal when you've been told "everything looks normal" but still feel off.
A more complete picture of your health. Combines the Rooted Wellness Assessment with DUTCH hormone testing and HTMA mineral testing to reveal your estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol patterns, melatonin rhythm, and how your body metabolizes it all—alongside HTMA. Book at least 3 weeks ahead.- Deposit required for labs.
I’m Tess — RN, Functional Wellness Practitioner, Herbalist, and Holistic Health Guide
Nice to meet you. Thanks for stopping by- I use a functional and personalized approach to help women over 40, who feel like their bodies shifted overnight, identify their HIDDEN stressors, restore their metabolic foundations, and move forward with full body and mind support. Menopause is more than a “hormone event”. Its a full body and life transformation. Let’s build resilience and vitality for long-term health and make the next chapter the best one yet.
I may be a healthcare provider, but I’m also a woman who has lived the burnout, hormonal chaos, and mental health struggles that many women quietly face.
For years, I pushed through exhaustion, anxiety, and declining health while being told my labs were “fine.”
Eventually, my body forced me to stop and rethink everything I thought I knew about health.
That journey led me into functional medicine, herbalism, metabolic health, and nervous system healing.
Now I help women understand what is actually happening inside their bodies — so they can stop surviving and start rebuilding resilience.

What is Metabolic Burnout?
It is a whole-system stress-response pattern that affects hormonal communication, immune balance, energy production, detoxification pathways, and nervous-system regulation.
Over time, this strain drives metabolic dysfunction—accelerating fatigue, hormonal imbalance, inflammation, and reduced resilience.
Healing doesn’t start with pushing harder.
Most health programs jump straight into strict diets, detoxes, or endless supplements.
But when your nervous system and metabolism are dysregulated, those approaches often fail.
Often, the focus is first on restoring resilience within the body so that healing becomes possible.
This approach is rooted in functional medicine, metabolic health, and nervous system regulation.
