The Practitioner
Hi. I’m Margaret.
Founder & Natural Health Practitioner
I created The Wellness Garden after seeing how deeply people needed support through a true whole-body, natural approach to health. As a holistic practitioner, I believe healing begins by truly listening—to the person and to the body’s signals.
With a background in clinical physical therapy and advanced training in functional health, I bridge the gap between structural health and systemic wellness. I am here to help you translate your body's language so you can return to a state of vibrant, grounded balance.
My specialties include blood chemistry reveiw for imbalances and nutritional deficiencies, supporting hormonal harmony in all stages of life, gut rebalance for immune system, digestive absorption and gut/brain foundational health, guidance with the stress, sleep and sugar connection, and the natural support to assisting the body in detoxification.
From Physical
Therapy to Root-
Cause Healing
M
y career began in the world of physical therapy. For over a decade, I worked with patients recovering from injuries, surgeries, and chronic pain. While I loved the mechanical aspect of healing, I began to notice patterns that manual therapy alone couldn't resolve.
Patients would come in with "structural" back pain that flared up only during times of stress. Others had joint inflammation that seemed linked to their digestion. I realized that addressing the joint without considering the whole was like pruning a wilting leaf while ignoring the soil and the roots.
This realization led me to holistic natural health—a biology-based approach that focuses on balancing and addressing the root cause of poor health. I dove into biochemistry, nutrition, and hormonal health. I learned that true healing isn't about suppressing symptoms; it's about restoring the conditions for true wellness.
Now, at The Wellness Garden, I combine the structural knowledge of a PTA with the investigative depth of a natural health practitioner. We look at everything: your bloodwork, your gut microbiome, your stress load, and your story. Because you are not a collection of parts; you are a whole, complex, beautiful garden.
