WORK WITH ME
This is for the person who has tried the protocols, seen the specialists, done the labs — and is still not well.
If that's you, you already know that chronic illness is not a straight line. You've probably had moments of improvement followed by crashes. You've been told your results are normal when you feel anything but. You've been handed a diagnosis without an explanation for why your body broke down the way it did, in the places it did.
What I offer is a different kind of clinical relationship — one that starts with understanding you as a person before it touches a single symptom.
HOW WE WORK TOGETHER
I work with a small number of patients in a 1:1 ongoing support model — both virtually and in person in Mendocino, California. This is not a one-and-done consult. It's a sustained clinical relationship built around finding and addressing your root imbalance over time, with the depth and continuity that complex chronic illness actually requires.
Every patient's path looks different, but the structure typically includes:
A comprehensive initial intake — a deep dive into your full health history, constitutional terrain, and current symptom picture. This is where I start building the clinical map that guides everything else.
Advanced functional lab testing — chosen specifically for your presentation, not a standard panel. We test what's actually relevant to your root picture, interpreted through a multi-system clinical lens.
Lab review sessions — where we go through your results together in plain language, and I explain not just what the numbers mean but what they mean for you specifically and what we're going to do about it.
Regular check-ins and ongoing support — monthly at minimum, more frequently when needed. Chronic illness doesn't resolve in a single appointment and I don't pretend it does. I stay in the work with you.
A personalized protocol — built from your labs, your constitutional terrain, and your capacity. This may include targeted supplementation, herbal medicine drawing from TCM and Ayurvedic traditions, dietary and lifestyle modifications, and detoxification support. The protocol evolves as you do.
WHO THIS IS FOR
You are a good fit for this work if you are navigating one or more of the following:
Chronic gastrointestinal issues — bloating, motility problems, food sensitivities, gut-brain symptoms that haven't resolved with standard gut protocols
Long haul COVID or post-viral illness — fatigue, cognitive symptoms, nervous system dysregulation, gut changes that arrived with or after the infection
Chronic Lyme disease or co-infections — complex, layered presentations that haven't responded to a single approach
Hormonal imbalances — cycle irregularities, thyroid dysfunction, adrenal patterns, symptoms that shift with stress or season
Unexplained chronic illness — normal labs, significant symptoms, no clear diagnosis, and a deep sense that something is being missed
You are also a good fit if you have already done functional medicine work and hit a ceiling. The constitutional terrain layer — the Ayurvedic and classical East Asian assessment that runs underneath the functional labs — is often where the missing piece lives.
WHAT THIS IS NOT
This is not a quick fix or a supplement protocol you follow alone. It is collaborative, it is layered, and it takes time. Complex chronic illness developed over years — it resolves over months, not weeks, when it's being addressed at the actual root.
This is also not the right fit if you are looking for a practitioner to tell you exactly what to do and disappear. I work closely with my patients and I expect the same engagement in return. Your healing requires your participation.
THE INVESTMENT
This is a significant investment in your health. We'll discuss exactly what that looks like for your situation on the discovery call — because the right structure depends on where you are and what you need.
READY TO FIND OUT IF WE'RE A FIT?
The discovery call is free. It's 15 minutes. Come tell me what's been happening — not just the diagnosis, but the full picture of what living in your body has been like.
I work with a limited number of patients at a time. If you've been searching for someone who actually looks for the root, this is where that conversation begins.
"Tennee is the only medical professional who has both believed in me and actually gotten to the bottom of what was going on."
"I was dealing with long haul COVID for over a year, saw many different types of practitioners and the things she started recommending started helping immediately."
"Energy is coming back, hormones leveling out, and digestive issues tempered. I actually go a whole string of days without debilitating pain."
