I HAVE THIS CRAZY FEELING...
20+ years ago, I left a soul-crushing job in corporate consulting to become a health coach. I never intended to become a health coach... it just kind of happened.
Once I got a taste of working from home and helping women... I never went back to corporate America. I just couldn't do it.
I love waking up without an alarm clock... sitting outside at 10am if I want to... working from the biomat on my couch... and being around for the "everyday" stuff with my hubby and boys. It's the stuff life is made of, you know? 🖤
CAN YOU RELATE WITH ANY OF THESE?
Terrible IBS in my early 20s made me look pregnant by 2pm... and I had to cancel so many social things because my belly hurt. Doctors gave me all sorts of meds, but they didn't help my belly... they just made me numb. This was my first time realizing conventional medicine was really lacking.
Horrendous postpartum depression in my early 30s after the birth of my first son (this nearly did me in for 2 years... it was scary)
A gloriously triumphant home birth (VBAC) with my second son... only to be thrust into some really tough marriage stuff for a few years. I started building a business while homeschooling the boys and my adrenals were SHOT.
Severe anxiety and depression in my early 40s... which was so bad I considered going on meds which (if you know me) was NUTS!
30+ hot flashes a day in my late 40s as perimenopause started to beat me up from so many different directions.
I firmly believe that...
I've been put on this planet to GO THROUGH TOUGH THINGS (some which aren’t pleasant)…
So I can get FED UP WITH feeling unpleasant…
So I will then RESEARCH, LEARN and FOLLOW MY INTUITION to find a solution that helps me feel better...
And then turn around and SHARE THAT WISDOM with other women in an inspiring, passionate and easy-to-understand way... so they can feel better, too.
So... even though I’m an extreme introvert who’s totally happy to stay in my house all day long and never interact with another soul for as long as I shall live…
I also cannot help but help other women.
You know something wild????
My career has taken several twists and turns...
🍎 First as a holistic health coach specializing in digestion, sugar cravings, and guilt-free self-care.
🌱 Next as a natural health expert, teaching moms how to ditch the toxins in their homes and create natural wellness cabinets to support their family’s health (I can fix almost anything with essential oils, y'all!)
☀️ Most recently, I became certified in Applied Quantum Biology which turned everything I thought I knew about health upside down and inside out!!
I like to be on the cutting edge of health... and I like to bring my friends (like you!) along with me 🙌🏽
There's nothing I hate more than when a woman feels trapped. There is ALWAYS another answer. There is always an option for you.
So you can show up consistently for your health without spending all day scrolling social media or searching Google
Perimenopause can feel like a curse... like something you'll be stuck with your whole life. I don't see it that way. I think it can actually be the beginning of something truly amazing. It's about listening to your body and responding to what it needs for you at THIS time.
If you're used to going from cleanse to protocol to supplement to cleanse to protocol to supplement... you know that's exhausting. I want to help you develop a LIFESTYLE that can ebb + flow with you throughout life. One that helps you set healthy boundaries and also honors who YOU are as a woman. There's no one like you... you are tremendous.
MAYBE WE HAVE SOMETHING IN COMMON?
☀️ I was born just south of San Fran, but moved to PA to go to Villanova for college. After spending fall break in Boston, I fell in love with the city and moved there after graduation (not knowing a single soul!)
☀️ I live in a small town north of Boston where there are no stoplights and horses outnumber humans :)
☀️ Our old farmhouse (built in 1842) has a combo of charm, light, and noisy radiators :) We're here a lot… as my hubby + I both work from home… and my boys (15 + 18) homeschool.
☀️ I’m a INTJ (as introverted as they come and I definitely work before I play!).
☀️ I’m obsessed with moss, ferns, sunlight, my chickens, my Dakota Sport Retriever (Teddy!), essential oils, books, my biomat + alone time (which I don't get enough of these days).
☀️ I wear UGGS in the winter and flip flops in the summer. My wardrobe is casual-comfy and it’s quite minimalist :)
☀️ I had terribly debilitating IBS in my 20s… probably due to my terrible diet and soul-crushing consulting job. I enrolled at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition to heal my gut, but ended up quitting corporate life the day after graduation to become a full-time health coach.
☀️ In my late 30s, I started building what would become a large 6-figure network marketing biz with Young Living. I've helped 12,000+ families ditch the toxins, embrace essential oils, and build home-based businesses... and I'm having a ton of fun doing it!
☀️ I try to unplug from all electronics every Sunday. Some weeks I’m successful, some weeks I’m not. Just being honest :)
☀️ I played keyboard in a band called Big Toe in my early 20s (the band was named after my abnormally large right big toe - I kid you not!).
