Working as a Nurse Practitioner in the traditional medical model was not fulfilling my desire to help my patients truly thrive, not just survive. Prescribing medication after medication as a bandaid to mask the symptoms of chronic disease, rather than going deeper to focus on the root cause was not ok with me. Don’t get me wrong Western medicine is extremely important and definitely has its place. But, let’s take a step back and look at the bigger picture of health.

I believe people deserve to be educated on what is going on within their body and what the body is trying to tell them.  

A long and winding path of a LOT of education and experience has landed me here. Let's assess, evaluate, and create an individualized plan to implement and truly transform your life. 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. To help you feel educated and empowered to take control of your health and wellness.  

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. After I started my career in nursing, I begin to focus more 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. 

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.

My Story

When my husband and I decided we wanted to start our family. I knew something had to change. So, I put the excuses aside and started focusing on optimizing my health. This was the turning point in my life, for the first time I focused on changing how I nourished my body inside and out because I wanted to provide the best environment for our baby.

Of course, the story doesn’t end there. There are so many different trending diets out there claiming to help you feel your best… how do you know which one to pick? Most of them have restrictions as to what you can and cannot eat. I quickly realized, given my history of restrictive and obsessive behaviors, that it was a slippery slope for me. So, I researched, listened to podcasts, read blog posts, and continued my education. There is no one size fits all diet for any one. We have to discover and adapt to what works best for us given the current season of our life to support us to help transform our life.

I was burnt out...
