Hello, welcome to my website! I'd like to share a bit of my journey with you, so you get to know me a little better. I'm a highly sensitive and intuitive "Empath". This is a natural gift and ability that has helped guide me in my life and with my clients. I reside here on the beautiful raw coast of Maine. This is where I'm able to retreat to balance myself so that I may show up at my best for others. However, It took me many years to arrive where I am today. My journey to health and wellness was one filled with personal struggles and adversity. I really didn’t have much guidance in this area, but somehow as a highly sensitive young girl, I had a natural intuition about my health and how food and my environment played a role in how I felt. Skipping all the way to my high school years, I tried to eat healthy but I just wasn’t eating enough and my immune system started to suffer. Food was an area I could control, because there were many other things in my life that were out of my control! I had a underlying fear that I would become overweight and unhealthy like some family and other people I knew. This had affected my attitude towards food and I lost an unhealthy amount of weight.
After high school, I decided to go to cosmetology school. I was working a second shift job and attending school, full time. Eating on the run, I unfortunately went in the opposite direction and gained a considerable amount of weight. Feeling insecure about my weight, I tried a couple fad diets only to gain the weight back. I can recall a male friend of mine telling me I would be really beautiful if I lost 20 pounds! He verified how I was already feeling about myself. The truth was, I was overweight, overworked, and out of balance! I felt stressed most of the time and was also involved in a unhealthy relationship.
Everything finally had bubbled to the surface and the constant life stressors led to anxiety and panic attacks. I knew family and friends that where on prescription medications for similar health issues. To me, the medication didn't seem to truly heal their issues. I went to see a Doctor about my anxiety and he mentioned anti-anxiety medication and It just didn't feel right to me. I said "I really don't want to take a prescription if I don't have to, I'd like to find a natural alternative". I know now it was my higher self and intuition guiding me. I knew right then that I had to take a long hard look at where my life was going and where I would wind up if I didn't make some changes! I made a personal decision to approach my health issues naturally and holistically. Please know, that I realize that there are certain medications that are needed and do improve particular conditions. This is my personal journey and this is where my path to healing began. I started on a self study journey, educating myself and reading many books! I was absorbing all that I was learning, like a sponge! Before I knew it, friends and family would ask me, “What diet pill are you taking?” “You look great!” I had finally lost 20 pounds, naturally! However, my life was far from perfect and I still had much work to do!
Over the years, I kept taking steps forward, improving my health. I was happier and feeling more confident. I continued to study and became even more passionate in the area of holistic health, nutrition, personal growth and development. I was helping my family, friends and clients by giving them advice on everything I was learning. I realized I was improving peoples lives for the better with my holistic approach to health and that I wanted to do this work professionally. I decided to become formally trained in the holistic health field at the "Institute for Integrative Nutrition" in 2012. I'm a "Board Certified Integrative Nutrition, Health and Wellness Coach" and "Board Certified Holistic Health Practitioner" specializing in women's health. I coach on nutrition, lifestyle and behavioral changes that improve lives. My studies have continued over many years. Please go to "My Training tab". My work focuses in on natural hormone balancing, gut health, stress/anxiety management, weight loss and improvement in common chronic health conditions. I've helped many clients over the years regain health, improve confidence and feel more empowered! I have many holistic tools to share. I want my clients to truly live their best lives! As an Empath I feel other people's struggles and pain, because I've been there! In sessions I share my many years of education, coaching holistic protocols, tools and empathy to help transform others. I also consult and educate my clients on natural remedies and proper supplementation. I believe most of us just need some support and accountability. I health coach in private, one on one or group sessions, virtually and by phone. I want to support you to live your life fiercely no matter what age and be your guide on your journey to your best life!!
