Hey, I'm Tzimari Sotelo!

As a Functional Wellness Practitioner, my mission is to support clients in achieving comprehensive whole body wellness. I take a holistic, root cause approach to helping individuals optimize their health and overcome chronic conditions.

My journey in this work began over a decade ago when my own struggles with a chronic illness led me to study integrative and functional medicine. As a former police officer and now a nurse practitioner with over 15 years of experience, I was inspired to help others address health issues from a stance of prevention, looking past symptoms to underlying contributing factors.

Through my training and clinical work, I have studied the intricate connections between physiology, lifestyle, environment and emotional well-being. I take a personalized approach, assessing each client's unique imbalances and implementing tailored solutions. My goal is not just temporary relief of symptoms, but sustainable transformation through lifestyle and mindset changes.

As a woman in her 50's with two grown children and two young stepsons, I understand the unique health challenges that come with perimenopause and menopause. Drawing from my own experiences and those of my patients, I'm passionate about educating and empowering women aged 40-70 to optimize their hormonal, sleep, and weight health through functional medicine.

Key aspects of my practice include comprehensive health assessments, interpretation of advanced lab testing, nutrition and supplementation guidance, and supporting stress resilience. I also focus on optimizing metabolism, reducing inflammation, improving digestive health and balancing hormones.

Most importantly, I empower clients as leaders of their own wellness journey. My role is to educate and guide as they make empowered choices aligned with their goals. The results of this partnership approach are not only physical improvements, but enhanced confidence, self-care skills and an overall sense of vitality.

When you work with me, you can expect compassionate expertise, individualized planning and ongoing monitoring of your progress. I strive to address mind, body and spirit as interrelated parts of one system. My mission is to fuel your energy, creativity and passion for living well each and every day.
