Rooted in Truth
Growing in Grace
Flourishing in Faith
Hi Friend,
I’m so glad you’re here. I am a lifelong learner, passionate about health and wellness!
So let me share with you my journey and how I pulled together so many experiences to land here--a health psychologist who is passionate about working with women so that they, too, can find their best version of themselves!
Struggles I experienced:
​
- I struggled with food and my weight was a huge part of my childhood and adulthood.
- As a child, I started to use food for comfort and soothing.
​
- I grew up in a single parent household where processed unhealthy foods were a staple.
​
- I began to struggle with my weight, body image, and self esteem early on.
​
​
​
I spent the next 3 decades chasing the perfect body through "exercise more and eat less'' mantra. It didn't work. I had thought that I had finally “figured it out” in my mid-30s when I discovered that eating whole unprocessed foods with a rigorous (and unsustainable) workout schedule created the best fitness of my life. Over the next decade, I got married, had two beautiful children, and resigned from an outstanding career to move across the country for my husband’s career. Several more transitions later, I saw my weight creeping up until one day I realized, in tears, I was miserable in my body.
As a health psychologist and health & wellness coach, I had many emotions about the fact that I could not get my weight under control. I was frustrated, overwhelmed, and felt defeated. I had all the tools. If I was so successful helping others with their wellness journey, why couldn’t I figure out this one aspect of my life for good? What worked before no longer worked. So, I hired a weight loss coach and began to heal my own broken relationship with food, my body, and found peace in the journey.
Since then, I developed a strategy combined with the right tools that created sustainable change and peace with food and my body.
I found embracing truth, giving myself grace, and growing faith were critical components of the healing journey. The 7 core areas of self-care provides a holistic approach to finding that balance we all crave.
​
Some of the tools to get to a better you:
- Begin to see your physical well-being and the way you curate your thoughts as part of your spiritual journey.
- Break the diet mentality and you will learn the skills to listen to your body’s cues for hunger and satiety.
- Lose weight when you stop overeating and eating out of emotion.
As you begin to heal your relationship with your body, food, and self-image, you will also explore the other core areas of well-being and how they interconnect to build a flourishing life.
​
I want to share this strategy with ALL my tools and teach you how to enjoy living in your body as I believe you were always meant to!
​
I can't wait to work together!
