Life's too short to feel crummy, confused, and at war with your body.

I know because I've been there.

Change for me came when I switched from fighting my body to getting curious about it. Now, I've built my practice around learning the language of bodies rather than stifling their voices.

If you are seeking the ease of good health - I'm your gal.

A healthy person has a thousand dreams. A sick person only has one.

Confucius

For me, healing happens when we get intimate with our guts.

I could spend my whole life studying our digestive system and never get bored.

What's going ON in there?

Each individual is their own wonderful web of life, and when we learn the unique needs, the specific constitution, the one-of-a-kind creation that is YOU - healing is inevitable.

Hi, I'm Eileen :)

I never thought I'd be free from my vicious cycle of digestive issues. Plagued with stomach aches since childhood, I always carried the notion that something was inherently wrong with my body.

A Lyme Disease diagnosis by age 6 and the subsequent long-term antibiotics set the stage for my laundry list of gastrointestinal woes. IBS turned into gastroparesis and eventually a full-fledged eating disorder that I carried through my teens and early 20s. I couldn't poop and everything I ate hurt - so naturally I'd develop an unhealthy relationship with food, nourishment, and the notion of taking care of myself (although of course it's 20-20 hindsight!).

A scary trip to the ER in 2022 following a colitis flare was my wake-up call. Despite having a rich knowledge of herbs & nutrition by this point in time, it took a major blow like this to move me. And I can honestly say it was the best thing that happened to me. It shook me to my core and forced me to finally start loving and listening to my body.

I share all of this because it informs the heart of my practice. I know what it's like to feel at war with your body- to feel helpless, confused, and embarrassed. I also know what it's like to finally get out of your own way.

I'm not here to fix you, I'm here to listen and guide you on your own path (because no one can walk it but you!). Sharing this message of hope, healing, and true body literacy has become my passion & practice.

Testimonials

After four years of on & off health issues, and after seeing countless practitioners that left me feeling more hopeless about my health I begin to feel like I’m just might not find someone who could help me. I was in very, very sad state in March. My mental health was in shambles. I cried almost every day. I was terrified about my health, and I didn’t know which direction to go. I felt alone. The first meeting with Eileen was like a ray of sunshine, entered my life, her optimism and faith in me was exactly what I needed to start making the changes necessary to get better. She explained things so I could understand them and shared her knowledge generously. She did not fear mongering me or add to my hopelessness and overwhelm unlike so many practitioners before her. She gently encouraged me and celebrated my wins. I can honestly say she has been the best practitioner, who is truly gifted in the healing art of Hope and encouragement. Her knowledge and willingness to understand the nuances of the bodies systems (and as a whole) is matched by her huge warm heart and deep compassion for others. I will never forget Eileen‘s guidance and help during a very dark time. I am so happy and grateful to God to have met her. -RP

I don't throw around the word transformational lightly, but working with Eileen through Buena Nota was exactly that. At a time when my health felt like it was slipping thorugh my fingers - when inflammation, immobility, confusion, and a sense of powerlessness to heal my body were clouding my days - Eileen showed up not just as a practioner, but as a deeply intuitive and fiercely intelligent guide. She didn't just address symptoms; she lisnted to my whole story. With a blend of encyclopedic knowledge and genuine empathy, she mpaped out a holistic healing protocl that touched every area of my life - diet, supplements, movement, sleep, mindset, even how I tracked my daily patterns. Everything she recommended was personalized, not performative. I felt seen, heard, and partnered with every step of the way. I can honestly say now I feel healthier, fitter, and more grounded than I have in decades. If you're looking for someone who bridges science and soul- whoe meets you where you are and gently guides you toward who you're becoming - Eileen is that person. Buena Nota isn't just a wellness practice; it's a beacon of clarity in a very noisy world. -JH
