Meet Joelle
My passion for female reproductive health + fertility care was first birthed many years ago when I realized that my husband and I were dealing with fertility challenges.
Shortly after getting married in 2012, I decided to return to school to become a holistic health coach. I was diagnosed with epilepsy at the age of sixteen, and because of that experience, I found myself interested in whole-body wellness. After years of becoming more in tune with my body, I learned that my seizures were closely related to my stress levels and sleep deprivation. Realizing that my daily choices directly impacted my health + well-being changed my life.
After finishing my schooling at The Institute for Integrative Nutrition in 2014, I stumbled upon the Merciér Therapy Professional Training. Attending that training in October 2014 gave me such a sense of peace for my personal fertility journey—I knew that God had me right where He wanted me. Serving women with fertility challenges was something that I was passionately called to do.
Through the years, my passion for serving women has grown. In addition to helping couples grow their families, I also support women post-cesarean section, women dealing with painful or abnormal menstrual cycles, and teens and young girls navigating puberty.
I truly feel blessed to share with you my knowledge and passion for health, wellness, and growing your family naturally, and I look forward to guiding and advocating for you on your health and wellness journey.

“Joelle was amazing and helped me through every step of my fertility journey. By using her technique, a holistic approach and IVF, I was finally able to realize our dream of having another baby. Joelle’s office became a therapeutic retreat for me and I loved being able to talk and share with someone throughout. I can't recommend her enough!”

Meet Sarah
Hi, I’m Sarah, and I am thrilled to be joining yinRoot!
My story began in 2019 when my husband and I were ready to add a second child to our family. We were fortunate to conceive very quickly the first time, so we fully expected our second time around to be similar. But unfortunately, we have been in the thick of our own fertility challenges ever since. Through our journey, I have experienced first-hand how difficult it can be to obtain the education and support that is so vital during this time.
I knew I wanted to walk beside women experiencing a similar story to mine, but I didn’t know where to start. As a former elementary teacher, I wondered if my personal experience alone would be enough to gain the trust of the women I wanted to help. I met Joelle in 2021, and she pointed me toward the training I’d need to come alongside her to serve women at yinRoot.
I am now a FEMM Educator + Merciér Therapist, and cannot wait to use what I’ve learned to empower you as an active participant in your health. I am here to support you and advocate for you through fertility challenges, painful or abnormal menstrual cycles, c-section recovery, and navigating puberty.
Having the opportunity to share what I’ve learned is such a gift, and I look forward to partnering with you and guiding you on your path to optimizing your health and wellness!

“Sarah is a wonderful fertility coach; her positive energy is infectious! Sarah has helped me pinpoint some underlying health issues to address and make smarter lifestyle, diet, and product modifications. I am already feeling mentally and physically stronger to put myself in the best position to get pregnant again and have a healthy pregnancy with lots of energy afterward. I'm so happy to have Sarah with me on this journey, and I can't recommend her services enough!”

Meet Keira
Hello, I'm Keira! I'm a Functional Nutritionist and Herbalist.
My journey into the realm of holistic health isn't just professional; it's deeply personal. I turned to holistic practices when conventional Western medicine couldn't address my chronic cystic acne, painful periods, and severe PMS. This experience was not just a challenge but a catalyst for my passion and career in holistic health.
My academic path began with a Bachelor's in Holistic Health and Wellness from Indiana University, where I didn't just study but also became a certified yoga instructor and meditation teacher. This was a foundational step towards embracing a truly holistic approach to health and well-being. But my journey didn't stop with graduation. After discovering I had undiagnosed PCOS, I dove into the world of herbalism, apprenticing with renowned practitioners in the Pacific Northwest and immersing myself in both clinical herbal medicine and folk herbal healing traditions.
In 2020, I took a significant step forward by pursuing a Master's in Science in Functional Nutrition and Herbal Medicine. This experience has been about more than just academic growth; it's been a deep dive into clinical work with various functional diagnostic tests to uncover the root causes of illness. My philosophy towards nutrition and herbalism centers on seeing food and herbs as powerful tools for healing, capable of addressing the whole person. I believe in a personalized approach, tailoring my practices to meet the unique needs of each individual through a holistic lens.
My personal battle with and victory over PCOS has given me a profound understanding of and passion for women's health and hormone challenges. I'm committed to empowering women to connect more deeply with their bodies and harness their innate wisdom from within.
I’m thrilled to join the yinRoot team and can’t wait to support you on your journey toward optimizing your wellness in preconception, pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond!
