Hey, hey, I'm Elizabeth Mae, and my functional health practice helps people heal when they’ve exhausted traditional options.

I love talking to people and helping health seekers bridge the gap between fear of an alternative healing model and your end goal of returning to the health you once had! Join me as we explore first-hand stories of healing chronic illness from a root cause approach.
