About

Here's a little about my story and what got me here.

​

I grew up fairly unhealthy.  I never played any sports or did anything active, I loved food a little too much, had low self esteem and self worth, and dealt with depression and poor mental health for as long as I can remember.  I would fake being sick in PE class to get out of it because I was so uncomfortable with physical activity and so out of shape.  I used food as a coping mechanism from a young age.  I always felt a little different than all of my peers, like I didn't quite fit in, and was severely lacking confidence and self esteem.  As I got into my teenage years, all of this got progressively worse and I started dealing with depression and had no idea how to cope.

 

When I was around 15 I remember I was at an airport and instead of picking up one of my usual teen gossip magazines, I decided to pick up a health one instead.  I started reading and actually understanding the impact food had on our bodies and it blew me away.  After that point I started reading more and more about nutrition and through making more conscious choices, I was able to shed some extra weight, started to feel better about myself, and noticed others started coming to me for nutrition advice which I loved.

 

Unfortunately what I didn't realize at the time was that I was starting to lean towards unhealthy patterns.  I became what I now know to be orthorexic, becoming very obsessed with eating "clean".  I also became slightly addicted to seeing the number on the scale go down (and the compliments and attention I was receiving started to increase and add to that), and I started eating less and less.  I remember one day giving in and eating a piece of chocolate that I felt was so "bad", and the next day needing to eat more, and more etc.  That's what began the cycle of binge eating and yo-yo dieting.

​

My weight would constantly fluctuate as I would binge (not knowing what was happening) and then try some new diet.  I tried them all, including one where I ate 500 calories a day for 6 weeks.  On top of already using food as a coping mechanism and then dealing with the bingeing that came as a result of the restrictive dieting, I got to an extremely dark place.  I remember at one point looking up rehab centers because I felt so out of control and like I had an addiction to food.  I felt deep shame and like something was over taking my body.

​

Dealing with these challenges with my physical health as well as the ongoing bouts of depression I would experience led me deeper into learning more about all aspects of health and wellness.  I eventually went to school to study Kinesiology and Holistic Nutrition, and started working as a Personal Trainer and Holistic Nutritionist.

I realized being able to help people better their lives was what I was the most passionate about.  

As I was going through this journey I had really dug deep into my inner healing to help me heal what was at the root of my mental health and physical health battles.  I realized many people were dealing with the same thing - looking to improve their health but needing deeper and more powerful tools.

​

After years on a spiritual healing journey and discovering some incredible tools that changed my life, such as Breathwork, I became certified as a Breathwork Facilitator and Life Coach and pivoted my business to focus on helping people on a deeper level.

​

The tools I learned through the many years of self growth and healing helped me go from depressed, unhealthy, lacking confidence and self esteem, dealing with an eating disorder, being a people pleaser, hating on myself, and always feeling stuck and repeating the same cycles, to being an incredibly empowered, loving, confident, self expressed, mentally, physically, and spiritually healthy person, developing a beautiful sense of self worth, and being able to call in a life I never felt worthy of previously.  

​

And it's now my turn to help you do the same.

I've been continuously expanding my toolbox to help others in the most powerful and effective ways, and use a combination of Somatic practices, Subconscious Reprogramming, and other tools to help my clients see incredible and life changing results.
