My story: There is hope!

A fitness coach, mom of three, wife of firefighter. A family of five stands outdoors under a large tree, smiling at each other.  Sunlight filters through the leaves overhead.

I suffered with IBS my whole life since birth. Suffering with the full gamut of digestive issues, they got worse in college with the amount of stress and junk food I ate. I lived off pepto, lactaid pills, gas x, and was at the doctor all the time for colds and asthma. Learning more about health, I got into group fitness in college and after getting married went deep into over exercising and under-eating. I was skinny for sure, but I had lost my period for almost a year. My doctor diagnosed me with PCOS and told me to lose more weight and eat less…oh, and exercise more! I was working out 3 hours a day eating 1200 calories! No wonder I had no period! We had a surprise pregnancy after being told I wasn’t ovulating.

I started taking matters into my own hands after doing research. Yet, after each baby, my digestion was worse. With the help of another NTP who recommended I get labs run, I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism. Later during my last pregnancy and working a very stressful job, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s. Fast forward 10 years later…

I am in remission!

I am here today to tell you that there is HOPE! Feeling better is possible and it is achievable! I have been able to stay here due to a number of reasons: I put in the work, choose nourishing foods, avoid toxic products, and I say yes to a lifestyle that keeps me healthy, while saying no to habits and mindset that don’t.

I am so passionate about helping other moms who struggle with digestion, weight loss, low energy, and slow thyroids. I became a Nutritional Therapy Practicioner to support women like you! YOU are meant for more than the way you are living right! You are made to be present, healthy, and full of life again friend!
