My personal motto: a solid snack and a great playlist can get you through the worst of days.

Here’s my story…

Since getting my first gym membership at age 16 and signing up for a triathlon, I have been geared towards my quest to personal health. That soon turned into a formal education in kinesiology, a part-time gig as a spin class instructor and most recently, certification as a holistic nutrition consultant through Edison Institute of Nutrition, 2020. As a mom of three young boys I’m often challenged with feeding the family one meal everyone can enjoy. But cooking at home and well-planned meals are a big part of the overall health conversation. I thrive when I’m helping others. Sharing my nutrition experience and education means many things; passing on a tasty recipe, troubleshooting gut health, talking about meal planning strategies, and even helping my two little home chefs learn to cook. I don’t do anything I’m not passionate about and am eager to translate a world of nutritional information into easy-to-follow and steps anyone could use to build their optimal health. I will motivate and inspire you to do your best!
