My Story
With over 25 years of experience in healthcare—including clinical research, public health, home health, case management, and oncology—I’ve seen how traditional care often focuses on managing symptoms rather than addressing the root causes of health issues.
At Juniper Functional Health, I take a different approach. I guide clients in making evidence-based lifestyle changes that support the body’s natural ability to restore balance. My focus is on helping you feel more energized, clear-headed, and resilient by addressing nutrition, stress, sleep, movement, and environmental factors.
I believe education and empowerment are key to lasting health. My goal is to help you understand your body, identify what’s holding you back, and create sustainable habits that support your long-term well-being.
Outside of my work, I love taking nature walks, gardening, and spending time at the beach. I live in beautiful Washington state, where I find daily inspiration in the outdoors and a grounded, natural approach to health.

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!
