Perimenopause isn't "just aging" — and neither is your skin.
I help women uncover the gut and hormone imbalances behind fatigue, bloating, and the skin changes no cream can fix — through functional testing and personalized coaching.

Does this sound like you?
Your symptoms are connected, not random.
·Constantly exhausted, no matter how much you sleep
·Gaining weight despite eating well
·Bloated, constipation/diarrhea or struggling with digestion
·Adult acne, dryness, redness, rosacea, melasma,
or skin that's changed and won't respond to your routine
·Waking at 2–3 a.m. and can't fall back asleep
·Brain fog affecting focus and productivity
·Told your labs are "normal" when you don't feel it
"Your hormones are shifting. Your gut is connected to that shift. Most standard labs aren't built to catch it."
Our Framework
We investigate the H.I.D.D.E.N. stressors behind your symptoms
H- Hormones — the shifts behind hot flashes, mood, and cycle changes
I- Immune System — inflammation showing up as skin issues, joint pain, fatigue
D- Digestion — often the first place hormone shifts show up
D- Detoxification — how well your body clears hormones and toxins
E- Energy Production — what's really happening when you're "tired all the time"
N- Nervous System — stress load, sleep quality, the 2–3 a.m. wake-ups
One system under strain shows up everywhere — including your skin. Then we build your plan around D.R.E.S.S.:
Diet, Rest, Exercise, Stress reduction, Supplementation.
Why This Is Different
You don't need another diet.
You need answers.
You've done "everything right" — and your body still isn't responding the way it used to. That's because fatigue, bloating, brain fog, hormone imbalance, and weight gain rarely show up alone.
Through functional testing, we look past "normal" labs to find what's really driving your symptoms — then build a plan around your hormones, your gut, and your life.
hi, I'm
Richelle
In 2018, after a colonoscopy, endoscopy, and countless blood tests, I was told everything looked "normal." But I didn't feel normal — bloated, exhausted, foggy, napping for three hours and still in bed by 8 p.m.
Everything changed when I discovered functional wellness and stopped chasing symptoms one at a time. That's why I became a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner and created Chrysalis Method — to help women skip the years I spent guessing.
How This Process Works:
Assess
We begin by looking at the full picture — your symptoms, health history, stress load, lifestyle, and any previous testing you’ve already done. This helps us understand how your body has been adapting and where things may have gone off track.
Investigate/Dig Deeper
Next, we order targeted lab tests to uncover hidden imbalances and pinpoint why you’re feeling the way you do. Once your results are in, everything is brought together into a clear, step-by-step plan designed specifically for your body.
Guidance & Accountability
You won’t be left to figure this out alone. I’m here to walk alongside you, answer questions, adjust as needed, and help you confidently implement your plan with education, encouragement, and real-life support.
Restore and Rebalance
A customized roadmap is created for your body, outlining nutrition, lifestyle, and supplement strategies to support healing at the root.
Ongoing Support
Healing is a process — not a straight line. Whether we work together for a few months or longer, you’ll have continued support as your body responds, your needs change, and new layers unfold. This work evolves with you.

Client Wins
"I'm down 10 pounds and eating more than ever. I'm no longer scared to eat. Two people commented on how much better my skin is looking. I feel like you really listened to me instead of just putting a bandaid over it."
— Sophia"I was dealing with fatigue, poor sleep, brain fog, anxiety, and hormone symptoms, and I was overwhelmed with so much going on in my life. I hadn't had a period in over a year. It feels so nice to know something worked, because I started my period again! I absolutely loved working with Richelle. She was so gentle and kind, and so helpful in meeting me right where I was."
— Mackenzie"The little changes Richelle recommended had big, meaningful effects. She saw my symptoms as signs of my whole health, not separate issues, and now I have steadier energy, better focus, less anxiety, and a more stable mood."
— KristiHow I Work:
Functional Diagnostic Nutrition (FDN) is referred to as an “opt in model of self care.” That means I don’t diagnose, treat, or prescribe.
I simply help you uncover obstacles to healing through cutting-edge lab work and a personalized Diet, Rest, Exercise, Stress Reduction and Supplementation (D.R.E.S.S.) for Health Success plan. This allows you to optimize every cell, tissue and organ so you can get back to feeling and looking your best.
Imagine knowing exactly what your body is trying to tell you so that you’re free from trying random supplements and diets.
I know, because I have done it myself, guiding myself from IBS, depression and a whole host of symptoms to guiding clients with several health issues through the FDN process.
This is NOT a one-size-fits-all approach. Your body is unique, and your healing journey should be too.
In The Chrysalis Transformation, we use a personalized, whole-body approach that combines functional lab testing, nutrition, lifestyle changes, and ongoing coaching to help you feel like yourself again.
