If you are the woman who is done chasing symptoms, DIY’ing and biohacking her health, and feeling like a stranger to herself.

The one whose labs are “normal” but she still feels exhausted.

The one whose life looks great on paper but inside she’s running on fumes and barely surviving.

The one who used to keep her weight stable but despite doing all the right things can’t button her jeans anymore and hates what she sees in the mirror.

The one who can’t remember the last time she felt confident, capable... happy.

After 20 years as a pharmacist watching brilliant, driven women leave with prescriptions that never touched the root cause, I knew there had to be a better way.

I now work at the intersection of hormones, metabolism, and burnout, helping high-achieving women rebuild energy and capacity from the inside out.

First by restoring the physical foundation you’ve been running without. Then rewriting the patterns that kept you stuck. Finally designing a life you’re actually excited to live.

𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗶𝗱𝗻’𝘁 𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳. 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗿𝘆 𝗶𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝗹.

The hustle. The hormonal shifts nobody warned you about. The weight that won’t move. The fear that this is just who you are now.

𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻’𝘁 𝗼𝘂𝘁-𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗮 𝗱𝗲𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆.

The result? You feel ALIVE again, in your body, your relationships, and in your own skin.

What I offer isn’t another protocol. It’s a complete return to yourself, fully, unapologetically, on your OWN terms.

If you’re ready to stop managing your symptoms and start solving them, you’re in the right place. 💕

The distance to 42.2km starts with 7.5 inches

It’s not the food
It’s not the training
It’s not the early bedtimes to be able to get up and run in the dark cold mornings.

On April 21, a beautiful sunny spring day in London, I watched my husband achieve his dream and be 29 minutes shy of achieving his ultimate bucket list goal of qualifying for the Boston Marathon . Running through hamstrings injuries that nearly derailed his career, running through rain, cold, and exhaustion and living the running lifestyle (which is often counter to a social life and fun!) he achieved what he didn’t think was possible even just 2 years ago.

A marathon is not just 42.2 km as a distance. It’s the moments where your legs hurt, your lungs burn, where you don’t think you can another step. You have to dig deep, focus on the next step, the next block, the next mile the next. This is where 7.5” is vital.

It’s the space between your ears.

It’s your mindset.

You can choose to focus on the pain. You can choose to focus on how far you have left to go and all the runners passing you by.

Or you can focus on the next right step. You can choose the next right thought.

I teach women how to eat, think and to reach their “marathon” - a goal they didn’t think possible, often to break free of burnout to perform at the highest level at work at home and in life

And as I watched the marathon I reflected on how many of us let life’s circumstance sway our decision. We wait to feel “motivated” to do something, we wait until “we feel like it” and “ are in the mood”. Managing your mind means you are in charge of your results no matter what the circumstance.

Yesterday I watched as my husband dug deep to find that intensity to keep going as his energy tanked at the midpoint. His mindset carried him that last 13 miles and achieve the 4th star in the Six Star Marathon and that took more training than even the physical training needed.

Where do you abandon yourself? Where do you say yes to something else and as a result say no to yourself ? Where do leak energy mentally physically and emotionally?

Big questions on the last day of the Real Reset Retreat

I taught Energetics around Time Management: The secret to achieving goals in Health and Life without pushing harder and burning yourself out. “Time is a finite resource where energy CAN be limitless with the right focus”

We aren’t burnt out from necessarily doing too much. We are burnt out from hustling and grinding towards a goal because we “think” we will feel a certain way when we achieve it. (Spoiler alert - we usually don’t!)

We are also burnt out from not having enough joy and creativity in our lives. We settle for “meh” when we want to feel “connected and alive”. This weekend, these ladies had the experience of community, nourishment, and rebalancing their bodies with EASE>

There is a better and easier way to be even more successful in life without burning yourself out in the process. This weekend this magical group of ladies learned how.

✨Real Reset Retreat plans are underway for Fall 2024. Send me a DM if you want to be the first to know more and experience the same transformations these women did.

If this holiday season is leaving you feeling a little less than festive - I see you ❤️

For those who have empty chairs at the table, holes in your heart and wishes that can’t be granted in a package with a bow - I see you ❤️

My wish for you is you find peace and comfort in yourself and with those who can hear your words - spoken and not.

May you give yourself grace and permission to do the holidays in a way that honours you and your journey, whatever that looks like in the moment - a break, a walk, a laugh or a tear.

May 2024 bring some reprieve from the physical, mental or emotional pains and be full of health.

🤔Would you give up 15 hours of your week without a guaranteed outcome?

🤔Would you track your metabolic biometrics and energy and make changes based on results instead of eating everything you love?

🤔 would you say yes to 530 wake-up’s and no to late night outs?

If your passion was marathons you would without a question.

Today I watched my husband complete his 4th marathon to date. This one hit a bit differently as he was told he likely wouldn’t make it through. In August he was told his running future may be on hold for 6 months. That wasn’t acceptable. So he searched for a way through.

Biohacking and countless practitioners (including yours truly) got an injury that should take 6 months to heal functionally and well enough in 6 weeks to allow him to be called a Berlin Legend (better not think that’s his new nickname)

But more than the physical hacks was the mental hacking that had to be done. To realize your goal of a PR wasn’t going to happen and your new goal is just to finish, that all the year long training and sacrifice would not yield the result you had originally thought. To have the new thought of “this is meant for me” instead of “why is this happening to me” is what makes a true legend.

The tagline on the Berlin bibs is Impossible is Nothing - no truer words than today on a perfect Sunday in Berlin setting a PR for himself and a role model for our children❤️🏆🏁

I used to oscillate between stuck in on, go go go, working all the time OR collapsing, being exhausted, and using whatever form of help I could get. Usually my choice was 🍷

I remember when I used to work in senior level operations I would count down the minutes to when I could close my laptop, turn off my cellphone and leave for a vacation. I audibly sighed. And reached for a cocktail.

My nervous system was so hijacked, it would literally collapse on vacation, I would be exhausted but drag myself around to see the sights and enjoy ALLLL the food because I had planned and worked so hard for it and then come home to get back on the hamster wheel and repeat 5-6 times a year.

I was stuck in a loop that was hard to break.

Nowadays my nervous system is so much more regulated. It can easily toggle between active and calm without the 🎢 extremes of stuck in stress and collapsed. I ❤️ my work, I am excited for a vacation with my family but am not dragging myself across the finish line because I. NEED. A. BREAK.

I give myself permission to live in a way that supports and honours my body. I fuel it for energy, I joke I’m solar powered since I use the ☀️and 🌳for fuel (instead of the caffeine and wine of years gone by), and I exercise in ways that honour it instead of breaking it down with hours at the gym or cardio (EWWWWW).

And now I enjoy my life instead of living for vacation. This holistic pharmacist is jet setting, so stay tuned in my stories for highlights!

A mama would die for her child, but will she live her child?

I was on the fast track to dying…

I was overcome with crippling exhaustion

My labs were not normal

I had 2 autoimmune conditions that showed my body was destroying itself

Everything I ate gave me stabbing stomach pain

My hormones were a wreck

Everyone in my family either had cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol or a combo of the above.

And I was on the same trajectory

And 9 years ago when my baby was born, I made a choice. I was going to live for her but more so I was going to choose to live for me

My genetics were not going to be my destiny.

I wish this story had a happy bow and it was an easy transformation.

It wasn’t.

It was trial and error and researching the evidence and when conventional medicine didn’t have answers I became trained in functional/root cause medicine and coaching because I knew my issues were in my biology but I had a glimmer my thoughts and mind were driving the bus.

Fast forward to today - as I celebrate my firstborn’s 9th birthday I am in control of my health, my emotions, and have freedom with food and I am stronger and healthier than ever and I have the tools to support me now and in the future. And now I have the privilege and responsibility to teach other women to do the same.

I choose what gives me life, so I can be here for hers and mine.

What’s your choice?
