From Challenge to Empowerment

My journey into health and wellbeing is deeply personal, shaped by my own experiences and the desire to help others navigate similar challenges.

My background includes extensive study and work in the health and wellness industry, but my most profound lessons have come from life itself. I'm a mother of four young children – Olive, Diana, Rex, and Saige. Like many women, I've faced my share of health struggles, including an eating disorder, IBS, and PCOS.

However, the turning point in my story came with the birth of my first child, Olive. Becoming a mother shattered my previous perceptions and forced me to re-evaluate everything. It was a wake-up call that prompted me to seek a more holistic and compassionate approach to my own well-being, and to help others do the same.

Just when I felt I was finding my stride, life threw me a series of curveballs. In March 2021, after having my son Rex, I experienced severe abdominal separation, which significantly impacted my ability to work. Then, only nine months later, I became pregnant with my youngest daughter, Saige. This pregnancy was particularly challenging; I was essentially bedridden for the duration and required a walker for several months postpartum.

These periods of intense physical difficulty and life disruption could have easily sent me spiraling back into old, unhealthy coping mechanisms, such as emotional eating or controlling my food intake. However, I discovered that I had the tools and inner resources to navigate these challenges in a new way. My body, instead of being a source of pain and frustration, showed me how to care for myself. I learned to listen to its wisdom and trust its innate ability to heal.
