With 10+ years of clinical experience focused on adult acne, and over 450 women supported through their healing journey, you’re at the right place.
Based On Your Quiz Result
Your acne is most consistent with a Gut Imbalance Pattern.
This pattern often shows up as:
-
Breakouts alongside bloating or digestive discomfort
-
Small red bumps or widespread congestion
-
Acne that worsened after antibiotics
-
Skin flare-ups that seem tied to certain foods
Many women describe it as:
-
“My skin reacts to everything I eat.”
-
“I feel bloated and breaking out at the same time.”
-
“Even the creams or meds from the dermatologist have never really worked”
-
“Nothing would actually help or let alone make my acne go away”
If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone.
The gut plays a central role in immune regulation and inflammation. When microbial balance is disrupted, or when digestion is compromised, inflammatory signals can increase beneath the surface. The result is acne that feels reactive, persistent, and difficult to stabilize.
Why What You’ve Tried Hasn’t Held
Women with this pattern often experienced digestive issues alongside their acne and have since tried:
-
Topical and oral antibiotics
-
Accutane
-
Spironolactone
-
Tretinoin or adapalene
-
Going off birth control
-
Cutting dairy, sugar
-
Eliminating entire food groups
-
Supplements
-
Expensive laser treatments & peels
What Actually Changes Gut-Related Acne
Gut-related acne does NOT improve by simply rotating products or eliminating more foods. It improves when we address microbial balance, inflammation and digestive function at the source.
For most women, that means looking at:
-
Ovarian androgen levels
-
Blood sugar stability
-
Chronic stress and cortisol
-
Thyroid function
-
What changed after stopping hormonal birth control
-
Nutrient deficiencies
Two women can both have jawline cysts, and the reason behind them can be entirely different:
-
One may be dealing with ovarian androgen shifts.
-
Another may be reacting to coming off hormonal birth control.
If both are given the same treatment, the outcome is rarely the same...
That’s why the plan has to match what’s actually happening in YOUR body.
A Clinical Root Cause Approach To Adult Acne
As a naturopathic doctor, I’ve spent over 10 years working specifically with adult women whose acne did not respond to standard skincare or prescriptions (or it worked for a short while, then the acne came back worse than ever).
In My 1:1 Program We Will:
-
Conduct a detailed review of your complete acne history and timeline.
-
Assess hormone patterns, including cycle-related changes and ovulatory signs.
-
Evaluate stress load, metabolic factors, and the impact of prior treatments or medications.
-
Discuss which vitamins or nutrients will actually help your skin, and what to avoid.
-
Identify the physiological contributors most likely influencing your breakouts.
-
Develop a plan that addresses the underlying hormonal and metabolic influences affecting your skin.

During our call, we will:

Determine whether 1:1 naturopathic care is appropriate for you.
Even if we decide not to move forward, you’ll leave with a clearer understanding of what may be influencing your acne and what to consider next.
And if we are a good fit, we’ll outline what working together would look like and when it makes sense to begin.
