How we care for your family

Two Ways to Work Together

Whether you love your pediatrician or you are looking for one place for everything, there is a place for your family here.

Functional Medicine

Root-Cause Care, Alongside Your Pediatrician

For babies, kids, teens, and moms

Keep the pediatrician you trust. We work alongside them to find out why symptoms keep showing up, and build a gentle plan that fits your family.

Wherever you are, you have found a home. We care for kids and families all across the country through virtual visits.

Many of our families travel from surrounding counties, and it is worth the drive. Functional medicine visits and follow-ups are also available by telehealth, so distance does not have to stand in the way.

Who we care for

From First Breaths to Teenage Years

We walk alongside your child through every stage, and support you as their parent along the way.

If you found me because something with your child just isn't right, you're in the right place.

Maybe it's tummy aches that keep coming back, a rash that won't clear, big emotions, or nights nobody sleeps. Maybe it's a feeling you can't quite put into words. Whatever brought you here, your instincts matter. We'll look at the whole picture together, find what's underneath, and build a plan that fits your family.

Kids Don't Grow Out of Symptoms. They Grow Into New Ones.

Symptoms are messages, and when we learn to interpret them, everything changes. Instead of fear, we find clarity. Instead of guesswork, we find direction. Instead of "they'll grow out of it," we find real answers.

By exploring the gut, immune system, nutrient status, nervous system, and your child's daily environment, we uncover the hidden reasons behind their struggles, and the confidence that lets your child heal, grow, and thrive.

We Look at the Whole Landscape, Not Symptoms in Isolation

Gut health shapes mood. Sleep shapes immunity. The nervous system shapes behavior. Nourishment shapes development.

We look at your child's gut, immune system, nervous system, nutrition, sleep, stress, birth history, and environment. By understanding how the pieces connect, we can uncover why your child is struggling and give the body what it has been missing. This is how we create lasting, meaningful change, not quick fixes.

Meet Lauren

Hi, I'm Lauren, and I'm So Glad You're Here.

Pediatric Nurse Practitioner · Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner

I created Simply Nourished Life because I wanted a place where moms feel truly heard. As a mom myself, I know how hard it is to feel like something isn't right with your child and struggle to find the right support.

I'm here to remind you that you're not crazy. You know your child better than anyone, and I will build on that and walk alongside you every step of the way.

You don't have to figure this out alone.
