My journey towards better health and wellness started when I trained to be a Certified Massage Therapist. I became more aware of my body, body mechanics, and learned to fuel myself better. Massage therapists are athletes; it takes proper nutrition, strength, endurance, and technique to perform bodywork for hours.

​

In 2018, I was blessed to meet two amazing individuals who have positively impacted and changed my life and the lives of my family members - Kristen Schultz, Wellness Educator for

20 years, and Dr. William Sears, a Pediatrician for over 50 years. After hearing Dr. Sears speak about how more and more young children are getting sick with chronic diseases such as ADD, ADHD, Diabetes, Cancer, Depression and Anxiety, I left his talk shocked and choked up. Why? This statement that Dr. Sears made grabbed my attention:

​

“75% of all chronic diseases are preventable through good nutrition.”

 

Preventable is the key word! Children being sick is not okay when it is preventable.

 

From that day, it has been my mission to educate families and children on how to live healthier lifestyles, starting with nutrition. I was inspired to become a Certified Health Coach.
