What type of care do you provide?

 

Intricate Wellness Solutions offers root-cause, functional medicine care for women who are struggling with persistent symptoms such as fatigue, weight changes, mood shifts, poor sleep, digestive issues, and hormonal imbalances — even when standard labs are considered “normal.”

My approach looks beyond symptom management to understand why your body isn’t functioning optimally and how to restore balance through personalized testing, nutrition, lifestyle support, targeted supplementation, and hormone optimization when appropriate.

 

 

Who do you work with?

​

I primarily work with women ages 35–55 who:

​

• Feel dismissed or unheard in traditional healthcare
   

• Are tired of being told “everything looks fine”
   

• Want answers, clarity, and a personalized plan
   

• Are motivated to invest in their long-term health and vitality
   

You do not need a diagnosis to work with me — just a desire to understand your body better.

​

​

Do you take insurance?

No, Intricate Wellness Solutions does not accept insurance, and this choice is very intentional.

 

​

​

Why don’t you take insurance?

Insurance-based healthcare places significant limits on:

• How much time a provider can spend with you
   

• What tests can be ordered
   

• Which treatments are considered “necessary”
   

• How personalized your care can be
   

Functional medicine requires time, deeper investigation, and individualized decision-making — things that are not supported or reimbursed by insurance companies.

​

By operating outside of insurance:

• Appointments are longer and more in-depth
   

• Testing is based on clinical need, not insurance approval
   

• Treatment plans are customized to you, not a billing code
   

• Care is proactive and preventive, not reactive
   

This allows me to focus on what actually helps you feel better — not what an insurance company dictates.

 

​

Can I still use my insurance for labs or prescriptions?

Sometimes, yes.

• Certain labs may be run through insurance when appropriate
   

• Prescriptions can often be filled using your insurance or cash pay
   

• Functional or specialty labs are typically self-pay
   

I am always transparent about costs and will review options with you before anything is ordered.

 

​

What types of testing do you use?

Depending on your needs, testing may include:

• Comprehensive blood panels
   

• Functional hormone testing (urine or saliva)
   

• Nutrient and vitamin assessments
   

• Gut health testing
   

• Metabolic and inflammatory markers
   

Testing is never ordered blindly — it is chosen strategically to answer specific clinical questions about your symptoms.

 

​

What if I’ve already had labs done with my primary care provider?

That’s completely fine — and often very helpful.

I frequently review:

• Recent blood work
   

• “Normal” labs that don’t explain symptoms
   

• Trends over time that may have been overlooked
   

Many women are told their labs are normal while still feeling awful. My role is to interpret those results through a functional lens and explain what may be contributing to how you feel.

 

​​

​

Do you prescribe medications or hormones?

Yes, when appropriate.

As a nurse practitioner, I can prescribe:

• Medications
   

• Bioidentical hormone therapy (BHRT)
   

• Supplements
   

Hormones are never prescribed casually — decisions are guided by symptoms, labs, medical history, and shared decision-making.

 

​

 

Is hormone therapy required to work with you?

No.

Hormone optimization is one tool, not the starting point for everyone. Many women see significant improvement through:

• Nutrition optimization
   

• Stress and sleep support
   

• Gut health restoration
   

• Correcting nutrient deficiencies
   

If hormones are indicated, we discuss risks, benefits, and alternatives thoroughly.

 

​

​

How is this different from traditional primary care?

Traditional care often focuses on:

• Short visits
   

• Disease diagnosis
   

• Medication as the primary solution
   

Functional medicine focuses on:

• Whole-person health
   

• Prevention and optimization
   

• Understanding how systems interact
   

• Long-term sustainable improvement
   

Many of my clients continue to see their primary care provider alongside working with me.

 

​​

​

How do I get started?

The best first step is to book:

• A Clarity Consult if you want in-depth lab review and personalized guidance
   

• The Hormone Balance Blueprint if you want education and insight into what may be driving your symptoms
   

From there, we determine whether ongoing care or a comprehensive program is the right next step.

 

​

 

Is this right for me?

This care is a great fit if you:

• Want answers, not quick fixes
   

• Are open to lifestyle and nutrition changes
   

• Value personalized, collaborative care
   

• Are ready to invest in your health
