Hi There!
I’m so glad that you’re here because I know how frustrated you’ve felt dealing with chronic skin issues that seem to have no answers.
For two years, my hands were completely wrecked by eczema.
And they only got worse no matter the conventional treatments I tried (both prescribed and over-the-counter).
The pain, redness, unrelenting itchiness, cracking, burning, oozing, super dry, fragile skin drove me nuts and made me feel like a leper.
People didn’t want to shake my hands or touch me (because they thought I was diseased).
I had to wear these blue disposable gloves all the time because I couldn’t get my hands dirty (let alone touch water because of how badly it burned).
I couldn’t work out.
I had to limit how much I could shower and wash my hands (which only reinforced that I felt dirty).
My hands would drive me nuts itching them uncontrollably in the middle of the night (preventing me from getting sleep).
And I felt shame and disgust at my own body because of how ugly my hands had become as well as how people would stare and make unkind comments.
Eventually, I threw in the towel with the dermatologists after realizing that they had NO CLUE what was triggering the underlying problem.
And that’s when everything changed because I was able to completely resolve my own eczema by determining my unique cluster of root causes and addressing them (no more band-aids!).
So know that when I say “I’ve been in your shoes,” I literally mean it.
My personal journey has given me a deep level of compassion and empathy for what you’re going through.
And that’s what drove me to become a clinical nutritionist… to help others who truly want to feel better and get back to a normal life.
That’s why I want you to know that…
You don’t have to go it alone anymore.
My clinical practice (Integrative Nutrition Group, LLC) is perfect for highly motivated adults whose chronic skin rash issues aren’t seeing results with conventional treatment (nor with food eliminations).
You may have a concern that something else is going on under the surface OR you’re struggling with fear of food (from elimination diets that haven’t really helped or that you can’t reintroduce foods without flaring).
Whether you work with me directly or with my clinical team, we are here to support you on your journey!

Because your health journey is unique, we look deeply into your case to create custom-tailored protocols using food, supplements, and lifestyle changes (that are realistic for you) to rebalance your system.
We approach working with you acting as your co-pilot on your health journey ready to help fill in the blanks, answer questions, and cheer you on.
Together we discover the root causes underlying why your skin won’t rebuild properly.
This way, we can put the brakes on what’s triggering your skin challenges in the first place — no more band-aids!
And we put an end to that sense of paralysis that often comes from reading a lot of conflicting information from too many health “talking heads”.
If you’re ready to get the attention and support you deserve so you can finally get answers and feel better, schedule a Skin Repair Assessment Session below to see if you’re a good fit to work together!
What You Can Expect From A Skin Repair Call...
Feel heard + understood (because we have deep empathy for what you're going through)
Relief + motivation that there's much to work on that can be incredibly helpful (because we don't believe you're a lost cause or doomed)
Feel safe discussing what impacts you the most, from embarrassing details to questions about starting/stopping medication -- this is a judgment-free zone
This is the RIGHT STEP for you if you are…
- Open to coaching and recommendations from our team of nutritionists who specialize in chronic skin problems.
- Willing, motivated, and ready to take action (and communicate a need for help should it arise).
- Want the flexibility of working with us 100% virtually.
- Ready for personalized protocols (rather than cookie-cutter approaches).
- Able to fund this journey (we do not take/bill insurance, though you can used funds from an HSA/FSA account in the US).
This is NOT right for you if you…
- Have a current diagnosis of cancer or other rare, serious diseases.
- Struggle with an active eating disorder.
- “Practitioner jump” (specifically going from one functional/holistic practitioner to the next), have trouble staying committed and seeing programs through.
- Expect to have everything fixed in 4 to 6 weeks, or get really frustrated by any sort of set back or flare up.
- Only want to restrict your diet or do cleanses.
During your Skin Repair Assessment Call, we will:
- Discuss what you’ve tried that’s helped (and what’s made things worse)
- Identify the critical overlooked spots that will get us answers about your hidden root causes
- Create an immediate action plan of the most crucial 2-3 things you need to do (or stop) now
- Recommend a personalized list of labs
- Decide if working together more formally is a good fit (and what the best option is for you)
Before you schedule, please read the following five points…
- Due to limited capacity for new clients, Skin Repair Assessment calls are for you if you’re serious about working with me and want to be considered for a spot in the practice. (FYI – we prioritize those who have gone through our Skin Rash Rebuild program first.)
- We do not accept insurance nor provide superbills (but we can accept HSA cards & Flex Spending Accounts for payment).
- You must be able to invest $3000 to $7500 and commit to a program lasting from 4-8 months, depending on the complexity of your case. We do not offer single sessions. If you’re looking for a lower financial commitment, the Skin Rash Rebuild program is a better fit for you.
- We see/work with clients virtually from countries all over the world. There are no in-person appointments. All sessions are completed over the phone or Zoom.
- All Skin Repair Assessment calls are handled by my knowledgeable clinical team (not directly with me).
Are you ready FIX your skin with my skin-knowledgeable team by your side?
Client Success Working With My Team…
Hand Eczema Client
I just wanted to officially thank you for everything you did for me. The last few months have been particularly stressful and even with everything going on, I have zero eczema.
My hands are perfect. I think of you every time I wash dishes, bath my kids without gloves on, cook, workout, etc. Basically every time I use my hands! My dyshidrotic eczema was a huge quality of life issue and I know that had I not found you, I would still be suffering.
All that being said, it’s not even the best part. After years of not having a cycle, going through IVF to have babies and every single one of my doctors from naturopaths to MDs, being stumped, I weaned my son in September and got a period in November. Exactly 28 days later, I got one in December. This is just amazing! I have no idea how but I’m just so grateful.
After working with so many functional minded health professionals the last decade, you are the real deal. Thank you for not wasting my time or money and truly addressing the root cause of my issues. I really can’t thank you enough.

Scalp Psoriasis Client
Fungal Skin Rash Client
I ended up with awful, red yeasty rashes on my body that my dermatologist just didn’t have a clear answer on how to stop. The antifungal creams would work for a bit, but then the rashes would come back. I was so embarrassed about them because it was to a point where I couldn’t really hide them anymore even with makeup or clothing. Plus I was exhausted all of the time even though I ate an organic, whole foods diet.
Working with Jennifer was the best thing that I committed to because the rashes are FINALLY gone. My skin is completely clear and even the redness that was always in my face has finally gone. Her review of my labs (which doctors said looked fine) helped us pinpoint a nutritional plan and gut protocols that lifted up my energy (more than I’ve had in years!), fixed my chronic constipation, and made such a big improvement in my sleep. And Jen was able to do this without any elimination diet (which I was so grateful for since I travel a lot for work).
I’m so grateful to you, Jen! Thank you for connecting the dots and digging deeper so that I can finally feel like my old self again!

Chronic Hives Client
Dandruff Client
For the better part of 25 years, I had really frustrating and embarrassing dandruff. I couldn’t even think about wearing dark clothes because within an hour, I’d look like I was covered in snow. My hairline would become angry and red, with huge, thick flakes peeling away from my scalp. I tried all sorts of shampoos and “natural remedies”, but nothing worked.
When I started working with Jennifer, I was pretty depressed, but I was done trying to figure it out myself — and frankly, I wish I had found her sooner. She’s eons more thorough than any doctor I’ve ever seen, explains things so I could understand what was wrong, and made me plans that were clear and easy-to-follow.
Today, I am 98% clear, flare-free, and wear dark shirts without any worries. Plus, she got me eating and pooping better (bye-bye constipation), motivated me to finally start working out, and I’m sleeping better than I have in years.
