My approach is not to dwell on calories, carbs, fats, and proteins. It is not to create lists of restrictions or good and bad foods. Instead, I work with my clients to create a happy, healthy life in a way that is flexible, fun and rewarding. Together we reach your health goals in areas such as achieving optimal weight, reducing food cravings, increasing sleep, and maximizing energy. As we work together, you’ll develop a deeper understanding of the food and lifestyle choices that work best for you and implement lasting changes that will improve your energy, balance and health. I support you in achieving all of your goals, from eating the right foods for your body to living an inspired lifestyle. I’ll introduce you to some of the healthiest foods on the planet!!

If your day looks like this:
→ Eat “clean” all day
→ Crush your to-do list
→ Do everything for everyone else…

Then crash into the kitchen at 9PM wondering why you suddenly need sugar, carbs, or a glass of wine…

You are not the only one.
Everyone gets cravings.
And they’re not a sign of weakness. They're SIGNALS…

Usually from your nervous system, your blood sugar, or your brain asking for a break.

That’s why I wrote about it in Mindful Eating, to help my readers figure out what’s actually causing your cravings (and how to get in food first.

Inside, you'll learn:
✅ Why cravings show up at specific times
✅ What your body might be trying to tell you
✅ Foods you can add in anytime a craving hits

Once you get what cravings are really about, they stop running the show.

If you’re craving a very specific food (not just any food) that’s one of the biggest clues it might be emotional/stress eating.

Especially if it hits fast, feels urgent, or shows up every time you want to mentally check out.

When you learn to check in instead of check out of your body’s cues you take back control.

This is especially important if you’re juggling caregiving on top of all other work, home, and family responsibilities.

This week, I felt proud of myself for getting through a busy, stressful week without missing an exercise session.

It reminded me that small commitments add up to big results. Going when it fits into my schedule has been a game changer for me. Everyone is different so this is what works for me.

Now I don’t have to start over feeling frustrated with myself.
Instead, I get to build on the progress I’ve already made.

These little wins aren’t super flashy, but they stack up over time in a big way…
And sometimes, I think we forget that!

What’s something you’re proud of this week?

My Favorite Brain and Body Exercise Today and Everyday:

Ask me for my favorite exercise lately and I'll tell you "it's turning on my favorite music and getting into the kitchen or a sing along in the car-by myself" 😂

Why? Because lowering stress is key to calming the nervous system plus as a coach, there are so many ways to make it less challenging for my clients.

What is your favorite way to reduce stress during the day?

Ever find yourself halfway into a bag of chips or pint of ice cream and suddenly think: “Wait… what am I even doing right now?”

It’s like you go into autopilot:
→ Open pantry
→ Scan shelves
→ Snack… even if you’re not actually hungry 😬

And then comes the guilt.
“I was doing so well…
“Why can’t I control this?”
“Ugh this always happens.”

Well here’s what you need to know:
Cravings are a MESSAGE from your body…

And when you know how to listen, everything gets easier.

That’s why I wrote a chapter about this in Mindful Eating an easy read that shows you what your cravings are actually trying to tell you about which vitamins and minerals you might be missing.

Inside you’ll find:
✅ What cravings like sugar, salt, wine, and carbs might really mean
✅ A 3-step response you can use in real life
✅ A cravings tracker to help you spot patterns (and finally feel in control again)

Mary thought she was going to have to give up all her favorite foods…

She pictured endless salads with dry chicken breast, no bread, no dessert, and definitely no Friday pizza nights.

The truth: That's not my coaching style, it's not realistic.
"It's not about dieting, it's about living!"-Karen Mayo
(That's why I trademarked it a long time ago.)

Here’s what we did:
✅ Calculated what her body actually needed to feel good
✅ Balanced her meals so cravings naturally declined.
✅ She was able to make space for the foods she loves and still feel good about it.

Fast-forward in just a few months…
She’s down 17 pounds, sleeping better and feeling confident in her clothes again.

AND she actually looks forward to planning meals, because now they work for her real life!

If you’ve been putting off taking care of your health because you think it means restriction…You might be surprised at how much freedom you can have when you have the right plan!

I have opened up three spaces for you before the holidays.

Cravings can feel random, but often, they’re just your body trying to send you a message especially if you’re a woman going through hormonal changes.

Your body might need energy, a more balanced snack, or just a moment to chill out.

That’s exactly what The Cravings Decoder will help you figure out…
