I never expected my work to start in a delivery room… but that’s exactly what happened.

When my youngest was born, he had trouble breastfeeding and showed signs of tension that didn’t feel like “just normal newborn stuff.”
As I started digging, I learned how common this is—especially for C-section babies. When a CFT practitioner came through our town, I jumped at the chance of having him treated.

After just two sessions, I watched my baby soften, feed better, and settle easier.
It changed so much for both of us.

But there was one problem:
There were hardly any CFT practitioners in our area.

So I did what moms tend to do - I figured out how to get him what he needed.
I got trained in CFT myself.

From there, everything clicked—my background in integrative health, my love for helping women feel supported, my passion for understanding the body’s patterns and tension. Eventually I went to massage school, deepened my therapeutic work, and now blend it all into what Health Forward is today.

This work is personal.
It began with my own child, but it’s grown into a calling—helping women, families, and little ones find comfort, relief, and a path forward.”

💛 Thanks for being here and trusting me with your care.

Slowly easing back from maternity leave over here 🤰🏻👋🏼 Sharing a few things that have been go-tos for me over the last couple of months {part 1}!

✨Body and Facial dry brushes - helps with lymphatic movement and acts as a gentle detox support that I feel safe doing while breastfeeding. It’s also a great exfoliator!

✨Silverette nursing cups and Lansinoh gel therapy packs - IYKYK 😝 but seriously both of these were lifesavers as we worked through latching issues early on.

✨Active Spray - aka “boo boo spray” in our house. It helps with all things skin and something I’ve used for postpartum breakouts and for speeding up healing of my c-section incision.

✨Primally Pure body butter and chapstick - both of these smell so good and have been wonderful for soothing dry skin and stretch marks.

I’m working on a postpartum supplements post to share with you too! What other postpartum things do you want to know? Let me know in the comments!!

{You can save 10% on any Primally Pure order with the code yourhealthforward10.}

You are the reason I wanted to be a Health Coach!

Hey friend! I wanted to share part of my story with you and tell you why I am passionate about supporting you along your health journey!

In my early twenties, I was diagnosed with PCOS and then a couple years later, Endometriosis. Knowing that we hoped to start a family soon, I was devastated and fearful for what our future would hold. I began to learn everything that I could about what was causing my disease and how to fix it. I learned that every disease has a root cause and that in order to truly heal, I had to address the actual problem, not just the symptoms. I found endless lists full of recommendations and advice, but I had no idea where to start or which thing to try first. Thankfully, through working with several health practitioners and changing my lifestyle, I have been able to both find relief for my symptoms, and more importantly, allow my body to function properly again!

One of the most valuable lessons that I learned along my journey is that I needed support and guidance, not just a list of things to do! The process of changing your health is overwhelming, but it’s also an opportunity for growth and learning new things! I saw an opportunity to help others as they move forward in their own health journeys - to provide both guidance and support! Now, as a certified Integrative Health Coach, I am able to do just that!

I would love to support you along your journey toward health! No matter if your goals are big or small, we all can use some support and guidance along the way!
