Together, we will create a tailored plan that is specific to your health goals. Come visit the downtown Wilmington office, or check in via telehealth from the comfort of your home.

Like many others in the clean beauty industry, my story begins with health issues. I had been on a wellness journey for over ten years and was sure I could count on my thirties to kick my skin problems to the curb. It wasn’t until I started having health issues -- specifically Hashimoto’s disease -- that I began to analyze not only what I put in my body but also what I put on it. What I discovered shocked me. The products I was using were laden with endocrine disruptors and carcinogens, which were impacting my health. I read articles, listened to podcasts, and researched products. I finally found my “miracle”, and it wasn’t in a drug store aisle. I also found I didn’t have to sacrifice my health in the name of beauty. In fact, the alternatives I found were not only more effective but also they contained skin-nourishing ingredients. Clean beauty became my passion.

I created Figgy Co. when I realized I couldn’t locally source my favorite clean beauty products. I left my job as an ultrasound technologist and concentrated my efforts on creating a space dedicated to selfcare; a place where I could share the best and cleanest natural beauty and wellness products with the Wilmington area. Whether you're an allnatural obsessed product junkie like me or just starting your wellness journey, I’m excited to get to know you and share this space with you.

Good For You Food

After my own health scare in 2013, and learning how to heal my body on my own, I became passionate about helping women get to the root cause of their health issues. As a nutritional therapist practitioner, I coach women on becoming empowered to listen to their bodies while looking at a bioindividual approach to get to the root cause of their health concerns. Nutritional therapy is based on the idea that health can be achieved through a holistic, foundational approach by supporting the foundations of health while using the body’s innate intelligence. We all have the answers within us, we just need to learn how to tune in!

I help women with digestive issues, adrenal fatigue and hormonal issues feel better and have more energy!
