From a young age, I struggled with an inner critic who led me to doubt myself and hide who I was.

Until my twenties, I didn’t realize how big of a role she was playing, not just in my head but in my health. I was still navigating food intolerances and battling skin and gut related issues, thinking the constant bloat was my forever norm.

I felt drained and exhausted by my busy schedule and coffee soon became my lifeblood. My hormones were out of whack, causing PMS symptoms that left me crippled in pain. The relationship I had established with food was unhealthy and caused me to develop irregular eating patterns.

I had been living with a restricted mindset, only seeing the food I couldn’t eat, not what I could.

I would eat clean all week only to cave from the self-induced pressure, binging late at night while telling myself I would start again on Monday. I controlled and pushed myself by over exercising, booking myself a studio class any time I had a free moment.

At the time, my beliefs about self-worth and success were measured in how overwhelmed and full my calendar was.


My job had me operating with a sense of urgency in three different time zones. This high pressure state during the week led me to indulge in social drinking on the weekends as a release—which I didn’t realize was adding more inflammation to my body’s load.

I had my first shingles outbreak at 24, then again at 29. I had been living a fast-paced life for so long in an inflammatory state, ignoring the signs until my body made me listen. It was the exhaustion of dealing with this toxic never-ending cycle that woke me up—I was done. I was existing within my body, feeling fatigued like I could never keep up, and burning out. The journey I was on had led me to a point where I knew something had to change. Every fiber of me was desperate for balance—if I wasn’t in control I felt out of it. Even making simple decisions like what to eat had me obsessively overthinking.


Have you felt overwhelmed and out of sync with your body?

Have you struggled to understand the triggers causing your poor gut health?

I sought out mentors...

…and started to do the work on my emotions and beliefs to bring myself out of rock bottom. I discovered I was carrying shame, guilt, and trauma, not just in my head but in my body.

Shortly after starting this work I had a God wink moment while listening to a podcast from a naturopath who was speaking about how he healed his body and achieved equilibrium in his life. It was this moment I knew the universe was guiding me to the change I needed to bring in and what I wanted to learn for myself and share with others.

I enrolled in IHP and became an Integrative Health Practitioner.


Through this training I regained my power, freeing myself of the toxic cycle I was in. I used to think all of my health issues were separate when in reality they were all connected. The cure was finding balance in my mindset, movement, eating, sleep, and lifestyle. It was by releasing the sense of urgency with which I was living that I was able to tune in and free myself of my limiting beliefs. I have finally healed my gut related symptoms, balanced my hormones, ditched the diet mentality and found my voice.

I see clearly how other girls are navigating their imbalances and gut related issues alone. I hear how desperate they are for support, accountability, and a plan to help them heal their symptoms.

 

My passion for learning about health has now become my deepest mission to support other women like me who are overwhelmed and hitting burnout.

I feel in my heart that it is my purpose to use my knowledge in service to you. Most coaches will tell you to focus on diet alone to change your gut health but I believe it goes beyond diet. It is in all areas of health you must look, because true success takes an interconnected approach. By working with me, we will unlock your power to bring in balance and body harmony through designing a bio-individualized plan—no one size fits all.
