I’ve lived this
I was devastated when I was diagnosed with PCOS and Hashimoto’s. Becoming a mother was my greatest dream, so I was determined to support my body at the root-cause level, in a way that felt right for that journey.
My PCOS pregnancy baby girl, who sparked my love for pregnancy, postpartum and preconception care.
Today, those symptoms are gone. It took years of hard work, and a lot of research and intuition. That’s where the name comes from.
When I was at a low point in college, an FDN practitioner helped me. I became one because I wanted to help other women the same way. Now I help women connect what they lived through with what their bodies are doing today, and Evidence and Intuition is where I share all of it.
In their words
“I finally felt seen in my struggles, when I had never felt that way before.”
“She was the first to really listen and string together every concern big & small.”
“It has been through her believing in me that I began to believe in myself.”
“It has meant the world to me to have someone on my side fighting for me. She definitely provides the best customized care for each individual, encompassing their body, soul and spirit.”
“In a time that I felt so unhealthy and afraid of the future, Kourtney was there to provide amazing support and guidance. Kourtney’s knowledge and attention to detail is incredible. The meal plans were so well thought out and detailed, without being overwhelming.”

The way I work · FDN-P
I learned to lead with the data by starting with my own. I ran the tests on myself, and I still do, because the data matters. But the numbers only told half my story. What changed everything was holding my results up against how I really felt, then building gentle rituals that honored both.
Ready for one-on-one?
When reading isn’t enough and you want someone looking at your whole picture. One hour on video. We look for the H.I.D.D.E.N. stressors: hormones, immune, digestion, detoxification, energy and the nervous system. You leave with a written summary and a food and lifestyle plan.
Now let’s pay attention to you.
