My Story
I have over 25 years of experience working in hospitals, clinics, home health, public health, oncology and clinical research. I came to learn that the mainstream healthcare model is focused on putting a band-aid while not addressing the root cause of concerns.
I embarked on a self-discovery to learn a better way to care for my patients. Being motivated in this search, I found that holistic living is the key to unlock health and well-being.
In my spare time, I love to exercise, go on nature walks, garden, cook, go to the beach, and take sunset photos. I live in Gig Harbor, WA with my husband.

My Mission
The mission of Juniper Functional Health is to guide, educate and empower a person in their health journey. It is a 1:1 coaching program that is individualized to meet your health goals. It is inspired by the concepts of functional medicine, which evaluates the whole-body systems of a person's health. This approach recognizes that every person is uniquely created and that many factors that can interact with one's health journey including family history, lifestyle, and the environment. As a client of Juniper Functional Health, you will learn the underlying cause of health issues and how to Reset Your Health.
The name “Juniper” has a special meaning. My last name Enström (Swedish) means en 'juniper' + ström 'river'. As in nature, a tree needs water and nourishment on its roots to flourish. Juniper Functional Health is designed to help a person care for themselves holistically by identifying what is needed to help them thrive!
