Witnessing the beauty of human spirit overcoming is my greatest personal inspiration
“… I help people nourish all areas of there lives and reintroduce them to their unique and mislaid power. ”
Some of the most defining chapters in our lives are often the ones that start off in silence.
For me, that chapter began when I was young. I fit the mold of what our culture declared was ideal. On the outside I was smart, athletic, attractive and social yet, I still compared myself to others and quietly decided I wasn’t enough. I came across as confident AND carried self-judgment that became familiar and normal. I was never one to share out loud. I sat alone in my silence.
In my private space, I developed a steady inner voice that pointed out all my imperfections. I absorbed the noise. I chased worth through trying to be small and numbed hard feelings with food.
In my 20s, I made some of my biggest life decisions from a place of insecurity and longing instead of clarity and confidence. Those decisions shaped my life. Drastically.
Eventually, I started exploring food and nutrition. I told myself that I wasn’t dieting, that I was on a ‘wellness journey.’ But deep down, I was still trying to fix myself. I preached “health” but I couldn’t look in the mirror without judgment.
When I became a mom, I wanted to be a great role model. I wanted my daughter—all my kids, really—to grow up seeing a woman who was strong and confident in her body and in her life.
I was getting closer. But there was still a part of me that hadn’t fully come home to myself.
Over the next many years, through education, coaching, real and uprooting life experiences and deep personal work, I found my way. I stopped chasing weight loss and started trusting my body. I got very clear on what nourishes me, not just nutritionally, but emotionally and spiritually.
I learned how to catch myself when old patterns crept in and how to lead myself with curiosity instead of criticism. I uncovered the deeper beliefs that had been running the show and began rewriting them. Am I perfect around food and body? That’s not the goal. I have awareness, simple tools and a rhythm to create what I want. My challenges no longer run the show. And I create from a much more grand perspective.
I love what I do. I support women who, in so many ways, feel stuck in their relationship with food and body. The truth is, we’re here to do so much more. We’re meant to feel strong, free and fully alive. There is nothing more rewarding than helping someone step away from their version of perfection and into the bigger story of their life
Formal Education
It’s been a journey. I’m a lifelong learner, drawn to both traditional academics and the less conventional paths of emotional, spiritual, and physical health. I’ve earned Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees, along with multiple certifications and ongoing trainings but I would say that my personal life story has given me the most valuable lessons, motivation and the deeper reasons behind everything I do.
Nearly 20 years ago, I was among the early wave of holistic health coaches. I earned my Health Coaching Certification from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and a Mind-Body Eating Coaching Certification from the Institute for the Psychology of Eating. I later pursued a Teen Life Coaching Certification, which gave me tools to guide young women in truly life changing conversations.
It’s always been clear to me that I’m here to support others in rediscovering their personal power. My own struggles with food, body, and confidence led me to become a practitioner and to create a new conversation around these issues. One that’s honest, healing, and rooted in possibility.
Because we all deserve to feel good in our bodies, connected in our lives, and free to live out our most authentic dreams.
What makes me, me? I love moments with Guy, deep conversation, uncontrollable laughter, warm sun on my skin, country music and really good food on my plate. The mountains and lakes call my name ~ even though I live near the ocean, which is beautiful in its own way (for now). I always say I’m ‘raising’ three amazing kids, even though they’re already in their 20s. They are absolutely my biggest purpose in this life. I’m always learning something new ~ especially when it comes to health and our ability to create.
Wandering, exploring, finding new things to fall in love with ~ that’s a huge part of my mission right now. I believe in divine timing, and that our quiet struggles can become the very things that lead us home.
So often, I meet these incredible women who are doing so many things ‘right’ and yet feel stuck in their relationship with food and body. And it literally impacts everything.
There’s certainly no shortage of solutions out there. And I’m not knocking the wellness industry. I’m in it.
I’m a geek about the latest health strategies and I love being a part of the conversation. But It can be overwhelming!
AND knowledge without implementation is a huge problem.
Often the problem.
What’s missing is not information and it’s not even effort… It’s the deeply personal, soul-level work that brings true confidence, sustainable nourishment and the freedom to live as your most genuine self.
If you’re here, there’s a good chance you’ve already tried (really tried) to feel better in your body.
You’ve followed the plans, read the books, done the mindset work, even made progress… but feeling settled doesn’t last. You still don’t feel free.
You’re smart.
You’re capable.
You’ve handled so much in life.
When it comes to food, body image, and how you feel in your own skin, it’s like your rules keep changing.
And no matter how hard you try, you can’t shake the sense that something’s off.
This isn’t just about eating differently or exercising more. It’s about no longer carrying shame like a second skin. It’s about living in your body instead of battling it. It’s about trusting yourself again, with food, with rest, with life. It’s about feeling confident, energized, and grounded in who you are.
That’s the work we do here. It’s not a quick fix, it’s real transformation. Together, we uncover what’s been driving your patterns and begin to rewrite the story.
With structure and support, with care and challenge, we create change that actually lasts.
