I'm on a mission to become a certified Gut Practitioner with the goal to help others, like myself, who want to live a happier life through a healthy gut! No matter if you're experienced in the area of gut health or not, I want to help you learn how to listen to your body and understand what it's telling you! With an extensive library of resources and a whole lot of passion we will determine goals,
build a plan, and work towards a healthier gut and happier life TOGETHER. I started my health and wellness journey in 2014 just after getting married, buying a house, and starting a business with my family (sister, father, and husband at the time). I should have been happy, stress free, and loving life. I was 40 lbs overweight (at 5 ft. that's hard to hide), living off of fast food, and wasn't making time to get my body moving in an effective way. I decided it was time for change. I was sick of feeling like crap and treating those around me poorly because I was unhappy with myself. I was lucky enough to have the time and finances to get myself a personal trainer. I made exercise a part of my normal routine and I started to finally feel better but still had acne, bloat, and unable to regulate my emotions in a healthy way. Little did I know this was just a piece of my overall health and wellness. After several months, I felt confident about what I could achieve on my own without my personal trainer and that's when the holistic outlook on health and wellness really became my passion. I needed more than just taking care of my body through exercise. I knew something still wasn't quite right. Through my own research discovery, I learned more about how to nourish my gut, determine the most effective nutrients for my body and where to get them, how to manage my portions, and add variety to my microbiome to get my GUT healthy. Don't get me wrong, there have been plenty of ups and downs: a miscarriage, a divorce, a new partner - who supports me through it all, some depression, new jobs, moving away from my immediate family, two foot surgeries, new friends, new hobbies, and major life decisions. My point is life happens- to all of us- whether we are ready for it or not and what I do know to be a fact is that a healthy gut will help you manage stress (both good and bad) through all the curve ball and opportunities life throws at us. I'm ready to work with anyone who wants to feel better (when you FEEL better you look better) by learning more about your body, how to listen to it, and how to react to keep your gut healthy and your life happier
