I’m Stacia Aaron, the founder of Functional Beginnings.
​
My career in healthcare began in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), where I first discovered my deep connection to women and mothers. Over time, that passion led me to work at a local fertility clinic, where I gained invaluable experience helping women navigate their fertility and hormonal health. The more I worked with women, the more I realized the unique challenges we face when it comes to hormonal balance, fertility, and overall well-being.
​
It was through this experience that I decided to become a Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner (WHNP)—because I knew I could offer women the support and care they truly deserve.
​
But it wasn’t just my professional experience that shaped my path; my personal health journey played a huge role too. When my daughter was born

with severe allergies and eczema, we struggled to find lasting solutions through traditional medicine. Frustrated with treatments that only masked her symptoms, I turned to functional medicine—and it was life-changing. By focusing on the root causes of her health issues, rather than just managing symptoms, we were able to support her healing in ways conventional treatments could not.
​
This experience ignited my passion for functional medicine and led me to become certified by The Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM). This certification has provided me with the tools that I need to help guide you on your personal wellness journey.
​
When I’m not practicing functional medicine, you’ll find me spending time with my husband, our four children, and our fur babies. I’m a lifelong learner, a soccer mom, and an avid football fan. I also enjoy cooking, golfing, and traveling.
​
I truly look forward to working with you and helping you on your path to better health!
