About Mary
I am a board-certified physician associate with certification in functional medicine through the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFMCP), and more than 12,000 hours of clinical experience.
I built Stratos Functional Wellness because I kept seeing the same gap. Women would arrive with real symptoms and a stack of lab results a previous provider had called normal. The testing had been too narrow, the reference ranges too wide, and the explanation too thin. They left appointments frustrated and without answers.
Stratos Functional Wellness is the practice I wanted to build and that I needed for myself: focused on women, grounded in evidence, and equally serious about treating a defined problem and helping a healthy woman optimize for the decades ahead.
Before founding Stratos Functional Wellness, I worked with the largest functional medicine clinic nationwide supporting thousands of clients. I’ve also served at a performance and longevity company in the Tony Robbins organization, optimizing the health of high-performing individuals, including professional athletes and public figures.
That work sharpened how I practice: precise, proactive, and built around the person in front of me.
I take a whole-person, root-cause approach

My clinical foundation is rooted in diverse, high-level functional medicine settings from working alongside gut health expert Dr. Vincent Pedre to serving at Parsley Health, the nation’s leading functional medicine company.
Later, I served as a clinician for a Tony Robbins–affiliated longevity and performance brand, helping high-performing individuals reach optimal health through root-cause healing.
These experiences deepened my commitment to evidence-based care, high-impact service, and soulful connection.

My deepest commitment is to the sacred spark within each and every human, the part of you that fuels purpose, love, and service through a vibrant, resilient mind, body, and spirit.
To be in service to my clients in this way is what fuels me.
Also, in Human Design I am a Reflector, a rare type making up just 1% of the population. I’m wired to sense what’s in or out of alignment before it surfaces. I mirror back what your system is trying to say, so you can reconnect to who you truly are.
In my practice, I don’t just treat symptoms, I tune into the subtle messages of your body, heart, and spirit, bringing intuitive precision to everything from data interpretation to protocol design to sacred spaceholding.
This isn’t just my work, it’s my calling. And it’s an honor.
