"...Over time I have managed to design & implement strategies that have changed my entire experience of being a womxn in this world."

My story

Growing up on a small farm in rural Nebraska, I experienced first hand what it meant to be a 'hard worker'. To be honest, I was young & exhausted. I was also homeschooled, so there was a lot of responsibility on my shoulders as a kid. However, I wouldn't change a thing, in fact, it made me the womxn I am today! As a young adult, I traveled a bit, but primarily stuck around the towns that felt the most familiar to me. I worked in the restaurant industry, long hours, stressful shifts, lots of coffee & alcohol... Needless to say, I didn't treat my body super well. I wound up experiencing a host of symptoms that made me feel numb, lost & confused about my life, my passions & focus.

Thankfully, I had the love of learning & a great skill at teaching myself due to my upbringing, so I dove into the research, connecting the dots between my symptoms & my lifestyle. I realized that the bulk of what I was experiencing was due to a really messed up gut & out-of-wack hormones. I started off by making a few simple dietary & lifestyle adjustments and was amazed by how positively my body responded. I dove deeper, eventually going on to graduate as a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner from the Nutritional Therapy Association. I put my practice to work immediately and began working as a Nutritional Health Coach at a corporate grocery store chain. Throughout my time with the company, I gained plenty of experience coaching people, teaching classes & public speaking. Changing lives & feeling empowered by my experience, I fell completely in love this field of work.

Meanwhile, I continued  to deepen my education & connection with my body through focusing very intently on getting to know my menstrual cycle & fertility through fertility awareness & body literacy practice. Over time I have managed to design & implement strategies that have changed my entire experience of being a woman in this world. Each month I used to experience very bad cramping, nearly every PMS symptom in the book, missed periods, early periods, you name it... I was miserable. But now, after making the key shifts I needed to rebalance my body, my gut & my hormones, I can proudly say that I no longer experience debilitating periods. My PMS symptoms have gone. away. And I know exactly when my period is going to arrive each month. In fact, I even look forward to getting it! My husband & I have successfully abstained from pregnancy for 4 years without the use of hormonal birth control, and we are planning for a family in the future, meanwhile optimizing our own fertility so we can achieve a healthy pregnancy & a happy, healthy baby.

Today, I live a cozy, happy life with my husband, our 2 dogs, 2 cats & our big little garden. Outside of my computer, you can find me with my head in a book, knee deep in research, cooking delicious meals, hiking in the forest, tending to my garden, or spending quality time with my family & friends. 

After experiencing my own transformation, and all the possibilities in-between, I knew this work & these strategies were powerful. After I left my corporate position, I opened up my own coaching business, which is where I am today. I can proudly say that I love the work I do, and I love helping the women I work with to transform their lives as well. If we can do it, so can you.
