My own path and pain revealed my passion…for healing food, REAL self-care (I’m talking boundaries not bubble baths) and helping others realize their value.

Like many of us that find ourselves in this field, we landed here by transportation of our own journey… that was definitely my vehicle—complete with a broken GPS, several flat tires and strong desire to trade in my car (body). I eventually learned that premium fuel was the roadmap to healing be-it my food, my relationships, my environment, my thoughts and the beliefs that were fueling me.

Illness and discomfort started young and followed me through my teenage years, college and after. My illness peaked while I was busy being a high achieving and overly responsible “adult” and I literally ran myself into a state of cellular burnout that led to an autoimmune disease.

Chronic symptoms and pains led me from doctor to doctor to receive a slew of diagnosis, prescriptions and tests but no actual answers, advice for real treatment or hope for healing. At the height of my symptoms, I was working in a high-stress and high-volume career while attending grad-school, getting married and then divorced and giving way more of my time and energy to projects than to my biggest priority— Me.

After more than a decade of that circus, I decided that I was going to have to be the expert on my own body. Not someone else. I started my research and I turned to nutrition for fuel, medicine and fun while I also addressed my habits head-on.

I’ve spent the last decade unraveling the mess I had made of my own body and finding what healing looks like for me and my unique biology. I’ve studied over 100 different dietary theories (for real tho), earned a certification in Holistic and Integrative Nutrition from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, worked with highly regarded practitioners in their fields, attended numerous natural health conferences, seminars, workshops and spent umpteen hours scouring the web, research and case studies to finally develop my mantra….

There is not a one-size-fits-all cure, approach or diet for EVERYbody. There just isn’t.

We are all biologically unique and what works for one person may not work for another. We have WAY over-complicated “health” with blanket cure-all statements, fad diets, processed miracle products and poorly studied theories.

Ya’ll. It is NOT that complicated and that’s what I’m here to tell you. As living proof… we have to get back to the basics of real food, real self-care and real life.

Through my experience and studies, I healed my relationship with food which ultimately allowed me to heal my body. I’ve revived my spirit and revealed more passion, creativity and freedom than I ever thought I was allowed to live with. I’ve learned so much that I just want to share it… Hopefully, with you!

My mission is to help others take that step and find real, genuine healing by re-connecting to their body, falling in love with real, yummy, healing foods and creating habits to honor your unique path to greater health.

While the journey is life-long, it always starts with a simple step. If you’re ready to take it… I would love to serve as your GPS so you don’t have to get as lost and re-routed as much as I did….Seriously!
