My own journey to finding a healthy lifestyle has given me insight into the many challenges one encounters. This enables me to bring a high level of empathy, respect, and understanding. Which is why I chose to get into wellness coaching. I am a wife & mom of 6 working on living a balanced peaceful life while helping others do the same. We live on a small 20 acre hobby farm. We enjoy growing and raising our own food. Spending time outdoors is our favorite past time. Gut health has become increasingly popular with all the new scientific breakthroughs. Educating others on how our microbiome affects our health & mental wellness has become a huge passion project for me.
My younger childhood was a bit more on the traumatic side. When I was 14 my Dad died in a drunk driving accident. It was a hard time after that for my family. I was a big mess after he died. I took up drinking, partying, drugs anything to numb the pain. I guess it was my way of trying to cope with his loss. Any how that path lead me to being pregnant at 16. I’m not going to lie though getting pregnant was the single best thing that could have happened to me at that point in my life. It was really my wake-up call in life. It brought me out of the bad way I was dealing with grief onto a better path. I had a desire to give up all the bad habits I was getting used to for becoming a great mom to my child.
I remember when I when I went to the doctor and found out I was pregnant. The doctor came in gave me my results and said that I’d just ruined my life, would have to quit school and live off assistance the rest of my life. He was so harsh and hurtful. But I left that office with a new mission. That mission was to prove him wrong. I enrolled as a PSEO student (where you take college classes while still in High School) in the accounting program. I went to college and high school my Jr. and Sr. year of High School and graduated College the first time with an Associates Degree in Accounting and High School the same month! While most kids my age were just starting college, I was already entering the workforce and taking my first accounting job. I also met a wonderful man during this time and we got married. After working for a while in accounting I decided to go back to school online for my business management degree. While in school we had to take a physical fitness class and I chose a yoga class.
That one class forever changed how I viewed life and what I was passionate about. Even though I wasn’t on the party wagon I still struggled with Alcohol, depression, anxiety, and other health issues. After taking yoga classes though I always felt so good. So, after finishing my business management courses I decided to learn as much about health, wellness, yoga, and natural living that I could. I grew such a deep passion for learning natural ways to heal myself not only physically but emotionally, through much of my 20’s. I cannot even tell you how many hours I spent reading and classes I took on everything to help overcome my past and health issues. Every waking moment that I wasn’t working, being a wife or mom, I spent learning. In 2016 I found a great place that taught health coaching call Institute for Integrative Nutrition. They taught based on a whole person, and how everyone was different. I fell in love with their ideas and took their courses to become a certified health coach. I knew that my journey in life lead me to help others and I was ready to do just that. I spent so many years learning how to help myself it was time to pay it forward.
Now what was once a hobby has now become one of the best decisions ever and that is the ability to help others who are struggling with health or wellness full time. I am so beyond blessed and happy to be able to serve others not only in my community but also anywhere in the world.
I am a certified health coach through the Institute of Integrated Nutrition. I have spent my adult life studying all forms of Yoga, Meditation, fitness, nutrition and self care. My journey started out as a way to help myself feel better and has turned into a passion for helping others who are in the same circumstances also be able to feel amazing again.
