MY STORY

My wellness journey began in my early college years, when I studied Environmental Sustainability and Human Anatomy. As I learned about the connection between life, how our food choices affect our bodies and the environment, and the role of toxicity in our mental and physical health, I began to look at food in a different way. This new outlook was put into overdrive when I became pregnant with my first child in 2012. Through research and speaking with midwives I educated myself on the role of nutrition in a healthy pregnancy and how it paved the way for optimal fetal development, and a low-risk birth. I learned to love fresh whole foods and enjoyed creating healthy recipes for my family. During this time, I also studied early childhood development and biology as I fell more in love with the field of holistic wellness. Once I became a mother of three, I decided to put my education on hold to be with my children. I was a stay-at-home mom by day and worked as a restaurant server at night. This busy schedule and constant exposure to processed food made it challenging for me to stick to a healthy diet, and I gradually developed digestive issues and eczema. My youngest daughter also developed eczema all over her body, which was the motivation I needed to make a change. With steroidal creams being the only treatment option for her from the medical community, I fell back on my love and interest in holistic wellness. I enrolled in the nutrition program at Bauman College Holistic Nutrition and Culinary Arts School and became a certified nutrition consultant in May of 2021. After struggling with digestive issues and eczema for 2 years, I put my education to practice and healed my body from leaky gut, food sensitivities, and eczema. Gratefully, I was able to help my daughter heal from her eczema as well. This is when my passion for nutrition progressed into a dream of supporting others on their journey to holistic healing and wellness. I am confident that my services can help those I connect with on their wellness journeys so that they can live life to the fullest, with abundant energy, and the knowledge of what best serves their individual bodies.
