My journey into natural health
My life revolves around family, food, and nature. I am a passionate advocate for natural wellness and understanding how the pieces of our health connect — a wife, mother of five, and a grandma. My mission is to share the knowledge and experiences gained from my own health journey with others, helping them take charge of their well-being and make more informed choices about the food they put on their plates.
My journey toward this path began in 2006 when I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. At just 26 years old, with two young kids, I faced chronic fatigue and pain. Conventional medicine provided important support — but I found myself wanting to better understand the role of nutrition, lifestyle, stress, and environment in what I was experiencing. Around the same time, my eldest daughter was diagnosed with ADHD, and I began exploring what else might be contributing to how we both felt.
That curiosity led me deep into books on health, nutrition, and the realities of our modern food system. I was struck by how much the quality and sourcing of food could influence how we feel. Determined to make a change, we gradually transformed our diet — embracing cleaner, whole foods and reducing processed options. As our family's relationship with food changed, I became increasingly interested in the connection between nutrition, environment, lifestyle, and well-being.
My own health journey continued — weight, pain, and fatigue remained persistent challenges. In 2015, after three more pregnancies, I made a deeper commitment to understanding what my body needed. I focused on food quality, targeted supplementation, and lifestyle changes. That experience opened my eyes to how few accessible, personalized options exist for people seeking this kind of support.
Anyone who lives with a chronic condition knows there will always be ebbs and flows. To this day, my journey continues. I still have flares and have to course-correct — which means I am as much on this road as my clients are. That lived experience shapes everything about how I practice.
