I’m incredibly honored to share that I’m a 2025 Community Impact Award recipient from and this moment feels profoundly full circle for me 💫
What most people don’t know is that when I decided to attend the NTA, it wasn’t an easy or obvious decision. I had already done other trainings, I was already in the nutrition world… but my practice wasn’t thriving. I was in a lot of debt. And the idea of making another investment felt terrifying.
When I told my husband I wanted to apply, he didn’t fully understand why, but he believed in me so much that he actually put his car up for collateral so I could take out a loan and go back to school. That act of faith still brings me to tears when I think about it.
And the NTA truly became one of the biggest catalysts of my life. It shaped the practitioner I am today. It helped me build a career I once couldn’t even imagine. And it’s where I met three of the incredible women who are now part of the Always Growing team.
Recently someone messaged me and said, “Wow… how do you do it all?” And the truth is: I don’t
I have an incredible, badass team behind me. There are eight women behind the scenes making sure I’m able to show up every day, serve at the level I do, and keep propelling this mission forward. I couldn’t do any of this without them 🫶🏼
And because of this mission, this community, and the collective work of our team, we were able to donate nearly $50,000 this year alone, funding services and testing for families who needed answers, hope, and the care they deserve. That level of impact is one of the greatest privileges of my career
So to now receive this award from the very institution I once wasn’t sure I’d even be able to attend (one that changed my life and, by extension, the lives of so many) is an honor I don’t take lightly
Thank you, NTA. And thank you to every single client, student, family, and practitioner who has trusted me along the way. This is a shared celebration🤍
