I’m grateful to have grown up with my "hippie dippie" mama. She showed us the ropes of living holistically before we even knew what the term meant. For the record, 'holistic' comes from the theory of holism, which considers the whole perspective. In holistic nutrition, we look at individuals and their journeys as a whole, paying attention to the mind, body, and spirit.

The area that fascinates me most is stress and its connection to cortisol. The majority of my adolescence consisted of intense, competitive dance, which came with its own set of stressors and pressures. Instead of understanding and dealing with it, I labeled myself as a “stressful girl” laughed it off, and moved on. This attitude followed me into university, where I began to notice how often I was operating in fight-or-flight mode and how much it was affecting my sleep. I remember waking up every single night, looking at the clock, and realizing .. it was only 2 a.m. Why was I always waking up at 2 a.m.? I felt this for years. I noticed changes in my overall choices and eating habits that made me feel burnt out, heavy, lethargic, negative, unmotivated, and unhappy.  It was only when I took the time to understand myself better that I began to see changes. Through making targeted adjustments for both my mind and body, I finally found relief, motivation, and happiness.

I know my body better than ever and it's my passion to help clients on their journey to understand theirs.
