Or, as my friends call me, Oksi.
If you are reading this, there is a good chance you are good at your job, maybe even great at it, and quietly running low on the inside. You wake up tired even after a full night in bed. You need coffee to function by mid-morning, and something sweet to get through the afternoon. You know what you should be doing, sleeping more, eating better, moving your body, but knowing has not been enough to actually change anything.
I spent over ten years in tech, and for most of that time, I believed this was just the cost of doing work I cared about. I did not think of myself as unwell, I thought of myself as busy.
Then in 2020, everything paused, and I had no choice but to pay attention to what my body had been telling me for years. I could not control the world around me, but I could pay attention to my own sleep, my own energy, my own stress. That is where it started.
That question led me to functional medicine: an approach that does not treat symptoms one at a time, but asks why they are showing up in the first place, and looks at the body as one connected system rather than a list of separate problems.
What started as me trying to understand my own exhaustion became something I wanted to help other people work through too. If any of this sounds familiar, I would like to help you find your way back to feeling like yourself.

You have likely been doing the best you can with the information you had. Maybe you have tried cutting caffeine, downloading a meditation app, or forcing yourself into a gym routine that lasted three weeks. Some of it probably helped, at least for a while, before the old patterns crept back in during a demanding sprint or a stretch of back-to-back meetings.
Functional medicine takes a different approach. Instead of treating your afternoon crash, your sleep, and your stress as separate problems to fix one at a time, we look at your whole picture. We explore your sleep, energy, nutrition, movement, stress, and history together, because the symptoms you notice are usually just signals pointing to something underneath them.
Energy is your compute power. When you are running on three coffees just to feel human, or crashing hard every day around 2 or 3pm, no amount of willpower or discipline changes how you feel in that moment. Understanding what is actually draining you, and what restores you, matters more than pushing through it again tomorrow.
Sleep is not downtime. It is when your body repairs itself, consolidates memory, and clears out what built up during the day. If you can fall asleep fine but wake at 3am with work still running through your head, or your sleep looks “fine” on paper but you never feel recovered, that is not something to just accept as normal.
Nutrition is information. Every meal sends your cells a signal about what to build and how to respond. If you skip breakfast because there is no time, then overeat by dinner, or eat at your desk without really tasting anything, that pattern is worth understanding rather than just pushing through. When you understand what your body actually needs, you can make choices that feel sustainable instead of one more diet you will quit in three weeks.
Movement helps your whole system run smoothly. If you sit for nine or ten hours a day and your back and shoulders feel it by evening, or the idea of the gym feels like one more item on an already full to-do list, movement does not need to be a chore. It is not about punishment or earning anything. It is about feeling strong and capable in a body you actually live in, not just one that gets you through the day.

None of this is permanent. With the right support and approach, sustainable change is absolutely possible.
Discover what matters to you
We’ll talk through what’s actually been going on, the 3pm crash, lying awake at 2am with work still running through your head, the foggy afternoons, the exhaustion that doesn’t lift even after a weekend off. You choose where we start.
Through conversation, not a checklist, we’ll figure out what’s underneath it. Burnout rarely arrives all at once. It builds in the plans you keep canceling and the sleep that never feels like enough. You know your body better than anyone. My job is to help you listen to it.
Embrace your unique strengths
We’ll start with what’s already strong in you, not just what feels burned out, and use that as the foundation. Then we get clear on what actually matters: your values, your vision, what you actually want your life to look like.
This isn’t a list of things you should be doing because a schedule demands it. It’s about recognizing your strengths and building a health vision that’s actually yours, not the version of “healthy” you’ve been running on autopilot toward.
Build sustainable change at your pace
Together, we build a plan for a normal week, the packed-calendar kind, not just the good ones. You decide the goals, the pace, and what we tackle first.
I’m your accountability partner supporting you, celebrating your progress, and helping you stay motivated as you move toward the health and life YOU want to create. This is a partnership, not something you’re left to run alone once motivation fades.
A 15 minute conversation, no pressure, no pitch. Just space to see if this is a fit for where you are right now.
