it's time to Breakthrough.

let me tell ya how i did it.

my story...

My background was obtained in the traditional medical model for my undergraduate and graduate education. After I achieved my dream of becoming a Nurse Practitioner, I realized that the traditional medical system is failing patients and their providers. 

I was burnt out and I was a hormonal wreck. I researched and continued my education on nourishing the mind, body, and spirit to optimize my health. As addressed my imbalances and regulated my hormones, I began to feel better than ever without any "sexy" diet or trend. I knew I needed to use my knowledge to help others.

Now, here I am, ready to help you on your journey to start thriving! 



FAMILY NURSE PRACTITIONER + TRANSFORMATIONAL NUTRITION COACH

I'm Heather.

Hey there!

Education-empowerment
accountability- support 

This is what is missing! The importance of the menstrual cycle and hormones should be a focus in women's health. 

After years of education in the traditional medical model, practicing as a Nurse Practitioner in the traditional setting was not going to fulfill my desire to help my patients feel educated, empowered, and truly thrive. 

A long and winding path of a LOT of education and experience has landed me here.  I’m here for YOU. To help you look past any label, stigma, or expectation you have put on yourself. To help you nourish your body, mind, and spirit from the inside and out. To help you break down barriers to allow you to succeed.

and then I realized...

My relationship with nutrition and health has been a roller coaster ride of ups and downs. For years I struggled with body image, weight, food, restrictive behaviors, excessive exercise, and emotional well-being. I focused on being healthy… or at least what I thought was being healthy. I fell victim to what was popular and promoted as "healthy." Think low-fat, low-carb, vegetarian, cutting out entire food groups… I did it all. 


My Story

I felt terrible. I was stressed and exhausted from living life in the fast lane, and to top it off I was under nourishing myself, even though I thought I was making healthy choices. Ultimately, my health and wellness suffered and I found myself feeling worse than ever.

So, I researched, listened to podcasts, read blog posts, and continued my education. I began to realize I was fighting my cyclical body, instead of supporting it. I began to implement sustainable and holistic strategies... and IT WORKED. By discovering and adapting to what works best for given the current phase of my cycle and season of my life, everything began to transform. 

I was burnt out...
