Struggling with deteriorating health for decades, I found no one with the time, knowledge, or inclination to figure out why I had so many wide ranging and seemingly unconnected health issues. While being prescribed medications to treat symptoms that didn't address the underlying causes, I desperately sought answers.
Connecting the dots, I eventually regained my health by identifying a genetic condition, that at the time was barely known. For the past 20 years, I have been dedicated to helping others find the root causes of their health challenges through the practice of functional medicine.

Shortly after relocating to Seattle, WA from the Midwest in 1985, while working as an RN and pursuing an active lifestyle, hiking and backpacking, Carolyn met her husband Dave. After Carolyn earned her Masters of Science in Nursing at the University of California as a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) / Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM), Carolyn and Dave returned to Washington state.
The following case studies illustrate how an integrated and comprehensive approach to health care can help individuals determine and resolve the root causes of their health issues and start enjoying better overall health. When "A" asked me to recommend lab tests, I explained that since the hives were caused by delayed type reactions, "A" could do testing through ELISA / ACT Biotechnologies for their Lymphocyte Response Assay.
Carolyn has the unique skill set of being an empathetic listener, has wonderful diagnostic skills, knows what questions to ask, and has a wide knowledge and experience in knowing what remedies to prescribe. She can work in the western medical arena, functional medicine arena, and the alternative medicine arena.
