Hey! Yo! Hello! Thank you for clicking my site. Long and short, I am a mom trying to make the humans I come in contact with better. I have gained my education and knowledge by searching for answers to greater my understanding of how the body and all the things we put into it work. Always on the hunt for better, or “The Best” I have learned we are all different and vastly unique, what works for the goose doesn’t always work for the gander because……!!! We are all unique! Something that should be celebrated but also marveled!
Back to me again, I tend to deflect talking about myself. I’d rather focus on you and your nutrition so really that’s what I’d like to do. Focus on how I can help other people achieve their maximum health. I believe I was put here to serve others as a healer and a sharer of wisdom. Actually more as a spreader of seeds, like a great oak tree would. I ask the questions to help you find your solutions to problems encountering in your diet, daily habits and sure, I can help navigate your life but too hey, we’ve only just met. Let’s see where this goes one step at a time.
How did I get here?
Well, that’s a long story but the long and short of it is:
During my time growing into adulthood I discovered a passion for Nutrition. I got my Masters in Human Nutrition and began coaching friends and family how to “eat right” to achieve their goals. Then motherhood happened and a pause was put on my career. I have raised 3 incredibly adorable children and with my knowledge I was able to identify and navigated our new diets to accommodate food sensitivities. < This was just the beginning of understanding how the foods we eat have such a tremendous impact on our day to day lives.
Fast forward to 2018 and I am lost and struggling with depression. A friend of mine mentioned selling the Arbonne products I so lovingly have been using for the past 6 years….. and then in dawned on me. Why I am I not spreading more awareness around nutrition and living a clean lifestyle!? This was my passion all those years ago!!! In saying yes to the Arbonne business opportunity, I fully aligned myself with this brand but also I also said yes to allowing my passion to re-enter my awareness and now I am living it wholeheartedly.
I truly believe living a clean lifestyle is for everyone.
I also believe we should be fully aware of what we are consuming. Because the food products, the skincare and personal care products we are consuming are not exactly what we think they are. Manufactures have the ability to hide ingredients and facts about their products from you which to me is not safe and NOT FAIR! Unless you are making everything yourself then you really don’t know what’s in them. Now, I’m not willing to take that risk with me and my families health. Not when ever moment counts.
