During a session last week, my client truly felt surprised that she felt pretty darn good lately, despite what she recalls as "not taking care of herself."

And yes, I quickly pointed out that while it doesn't feel like a lot. She really is continuing to focus on her core habits.

Because more is not often better.

At the same time, the work we do together is never designed to *only* work when life is going perfectly.

That's never gonna happen, we know that.

If your health and nutrition plan requires you to follow it perfectly, every single day. I'm sorry, it won't be long before you're starting all over again.

But knowing what core things you need to focus on for your personal body...that's exactly how it should be!

If I had a dollar for every client that was told their labs look normal

"They keep telling me l'm healthy, but I know something is wrong."

👆this one, too.

Your body doesn't respond to food based on ONLY labels or macros.

There's a whole other symphony going on in there. One that all works together. And so, it's important that we support it all.

This is the framework behind my 1:1 work:

Digestion 👉 Metabolize 👉 Release

January start spots are filling up for women who want depth, answers and a personalized plan based on their needs.

DM me to begin the conversation about working together.

It’s not the carbs. It’s the environment those carbs are going into. A metabolism that’s depleted of key nutrients necessary to utilize them efficiently.

I help you stop the restriction and start repairing the system underneath:

👉rebuild your mineral reserves
👉support digestion so that you’re actually breaking down your food and absorbing nutrients
👉Make sure you’re eating enough (not less)
👉Balance your meals according to your data needs
👉Reduce inflammation
👉Focus on metabolic repair…not punishment

When we correct the problem through a more functional and whole body lens; beautiful things can happen!

It’s not the carbs that are the problem.

We all love a good dinner out!
Just not how our stomach feels after, if you struggle with bloating or other digestive distress.

I don’t want you to have to avoid restaurants.
A digestion focused framework that helps your body feel safe while you eat should absolutely be in your tool kit, though.

I made a 10-minute training for you, where I walk you through the exact 3 steps I teach my clients. The same framework that helps them enjoy good food without the aftermath.

No restrictions 🚫
No complicated rules 🙅🏻‍♀️

Just simple, supportive steps to help your digestion stay calm before, during & after eating out.

Comment (or DM me) BLOAT and I’ll send the free training straight to you.

This is the support you’ve been missing 🤝

Here’s what nobody sees when you deal with bloating…the social anxiety that comes along with it.

You start worrying on Friday morning.
You scan the menu 3x before dinner.
You fear the aftermath more than the meal itself.
You pretend you’re not ‘that hungry’ just to avoid the bloat spiral.

This is your body trying to keep you safe from that all familiar pattern of discomfort.

But, the good news is you can absolutely re-train this pattern.

Once you begin to support your digestion as a whole instead of cherry picking symptoms; relief is much closer than you know!

DM me “Bloat” and I’ll send you a link to schedule a free consultation with me.

Happy December!

Life has truly come full circle.

I woke up to a random inquiry bright and early on a Monday morning from a potential client during the summer.

She was feeling exactly how I felt nine years ago when I returned from a weeklong vacation. Miserable, inflamed, exhausted. And done.

Nine years ago I was fed up with my own health struggles. That young mom is so proud of herself
today.

Because by golly; what a blessing it is to call this my life's work!

I tried out a new recipe tonight and did not expect to love it this much! Cod with tomatoes & beans. Simmered in broth and herbs.

So many good nutrients & minerals!

When you work with me as your nutritional therapist, you better believe by the time I’m done with you…you’ll be counting minerals rather than calories or macros 😉

11/20/2025

Your metabolism doesn’t speed up just because you’re strict. However, it does function well when you’re nourished!

11/19/2025

Holiday eating shouldn’t leave you miserable…or secretly unbuttoning your pants after every meal. Been there, done that! 🙋🏻‍♀️

Bloating is one of the most common symptoms clients come to me with, especially this time of year.

But, here’s the truth: it’s not normal. And it’s not something you have to push through.

Take a look at these three shifts and if you’re not already implementing them; give them a try.

And, if you want help digging deeper into your digestion & your nutrient status; my inbox is always open.

I call BS on the whole narrative that we’re supposed to feel this tired as we age.

This kind of exhaustion isn’t normal. It’s not that “we’re just getting older.”

Use these 3 micro habits to help you experience better energy without overhauling your routine or giving you another thing to feel guilty about.

Small shifts. Big impact.
Start these before 2026 and you can feel the difference long before January even gets here.

And, if you want more support with your energy, digestion, or minerals; reach out and we’ll talk through what might be going on for your body + how we can fix it.

Welcome to my little corner of the internet, so happy to have you here! I thought it would be appropriate to do a reintroduction.

Most people really do call me Steph. Born and raised here in Waterloo. I’m wife to Josh and mom to these 3 beautiful girls: Marissa, Gracie, and Mackenzie.

Josh and I met in 8th grade, in an AOL chat room 😂. True story. We’ve been together ever since.

Nutrition has always been my calling, it’s my thing. But, life pulled me in a different direction, I spent the majority of my career in the early childhood field. Until, with the support & encouragement of my family; I enrolled in nutritional therapy school and graduated in 2022.

I chose nutritional therapy because it was important to me that I be able to help clients figure out what’s really going on in their bodies. What nutrients they need more of. The root cause of their symptoms.

It’s the type of care that I didn’t see in our area at the time. As someone who struggled with digestive problems much of her life; it’s the care I wish would have been available when I was younger.

The majority of my clients are women but I’ve also had the pleasure of helping a few men, as well.

👉I see a lot of digestive discomfort
👉Fatigue
👉Sleep struggles
👉Weight concerns
👉Women trying to cut through all of the noise out there & finally just understand what their body needs, not what the latest influencer tells them.
👉Labs that always come back “normal”, but you don’t feel good
👉And clients that are interested in overall health optimization, they want to check in with nutrient levels and make sure they’re staying ahead of the curve as they get older.

That's a little bit about me and who I help. Thank you for being here! If you have any questions, my DMs are always open, I'm happy to chat more.

If you're interested in seeing if my services could benefit you, I invite you to schedule a free discovery call with me: https://p.bttr.to/3seOIwa
