My Story

My story involves working as a registered nurse in the intensive care unit for nearly a decade, where I saw firsthand the ill effects of poor lifestyle choices. Although I loved my time in the ICU, I knew my passion was shifting towards helping people with a more preventative approach. This led me into online fitness coaching, where I truly started to dive into long-lasting lifestyle changes. I learned so much during this time, but had a tainted view of what really made up a healthy body. I personally struggled through digestive woes, body image issues, under-nourishment, over-exercise and ultimately dealing with hormonal imbalances. Every month, leading up to my period, I felt like a different person. I was depressed, anxious and short-tempered with my family. I just assumed these were normal PMS issues, but one day I felt so defeated by how I was feeling and acting that I literally googled “PMS Survival Guide”. The search results left me wanting more, and so I dove deep into ALLLL the research. When I realized what a HUGE rabbit hole this was, and that a simple checklist or supplement wasn’t going to solve my problems, I knew I had to keep digging. This ultimately led me to the Nutritional Therapy Practitioner program.
