About me
There are several unique ways to learn from me: from one on one coaching to reading my blog, following my socials, and even purchasing my books on amazon.
My Story
I left the United States Air Force in 2008 with a degree in Information Technology. From there, I tried several career paths, but ultimately discovered I was an entrepreneur at heart and working for “the man” was never gonna fly. Once I tapped into my creative genius, I was on fire! I started and grew three successful businesses, raised a couple of good-hearted boys, and renovated my house from top to bottom. On the outside, I looked like a freaking rockstar: a shit load of money, a top 10 internationally recognized photographer, a good momma, a successful coffee company owner, had the “perfect husband,” a nice home, the list goes on.
On the inside, however, I struggled mentally with every damn acronym you can think of: PTSD, ADHD, MTHFR Mutation, and so did my poor babies. I was 50 pounds heavier than I should have been, and life was kind of miserable at home. In an effort to heal my family, I dove into holistic health practices, and in 2021, I became Certified as a Holistic Health Practitioner (HHP). The methods I learned and applied inside my home were life-changing, but unfortunately, one week after I graduated from nutrition school, the day of my celebration, tragedy struck my family, and I went to the darkest place I’ve ever known mentally.
I couldn’t bear reality at the time, so I closed my business, put the health coaching on hold (except for a few clients), and dove into every distraction I could. I started creating content on TikTok, completely renovated a 1973 Motorhome and wrote two books. While only time can heal what I experienced, I discovered so much about my capabilities in my darkest hour by pouring into what and who I love.
Today, I am a happy camper who went viral for a DIY Dollar Tree gnome, and my book Eat Clean 21 hit the top 22 new releases on Amazon in its first week!
Nowadays, when I’m not covered in paint, coaching a client, or designing a website, I’m either working with my teens on their high school education (yes, I homeschool, too) or wandering the aisles of my favorite thrift store and Home Depot, envisioning my next project.
Scope of Practice
I am not a medical doctor. As a Holistic Health Specialist and Transformational Nutrition Coach, I do not diagnose, treat, prescribe, interpret labs, cure or prevent any illness or disease, or practice medical nutritional therapy. Healing, I believe, is what the body is designed to do when given the right knowledge and tools. For medical & mental health care, consult with your trusted provider.
What I do…
I help my clients transform their mindsets and navigate clean nutrition. I define nutrition as anything that feeds you physically, mentally, and spiritually. By using the Transformational Nutrition model (a holistic approach), I’m able to help each person I work with as a whole, rather than a set of symptoms. I will never recommend a dangerous diet, juice cleanse or ever mention calorie counting, EVER. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions surrounding my credentials or scope of practice.
My Nutrition Philosophy
Do The Best You Can With What You Have
Eat the best quality of food that you can possibly afford. Can’t afford organic? Invest in a great vegetable wash. Can’t afford Vitamin D supplements? Eat plenty of oranges and get outside in the sun! Keeping a healthy lifestyle does not have to be expensive.
Put Your Gut FIRST
Your gut houses a large community of microbes. These microbes affect many functions of the body including; your immune system, neurological activity, and your metabolism.
Listen To Your Body, Rather Than Counting Calories!
Our bodies are not calculators, and the calorie counting philosophy of “calories in and calories out” often leads people to under eat and does not encourage them to focus on eating nutrient-dense foods. Instead of calorie counting, try journaling. How do you feel right now? What did you eat 24-36 hours ago? Pay attention to what your body is telling you.
Don't Eat It, Have it In Your Home, or Put It On Your Skin If You Cannot Pronounce It!
Eat Real Food! Food that comes from plants, animals, or the sea – not created in a lab. I don’t consider it to be “real” if I cannot pronounce it. If you must do packaged or processed food, look for labels with fewer than 5 ingredients.
