I'm a women's hormone health specialist and wellness coach who believes you've gotta build your dreams from the inside out. 

...and when I did, some homemade elderberry syrup, a hot bath, and time took care of it nicely. This time was different though. I had body aches I couldn’t explain.  My vision went blurry, my joints began to ache, and I had what I can only describe as electrical “shooting” pains running up and down my nerves. 

Let's fast-forward through the years of motherhood that entails beautiful, life-changing homebirths, more magical midwives, and a passionate desire to learn everything I could to help my family stay healthy...and get to the low point.
We had just moved into a bigger home for our growing family and I was thrilled to have a high private cul-de-sac out front for my littles to play safely and an enormous backyard filled with play houses, gardens, and big climbing trees. In my arms, I had little Noble to gush over, just six weeks old, perfect and serene. He was my fifth home birth and, like the others before him, I felt amazing afterwards. I was ready to spring into life and he was the perfect little addition to my growing brood of mostly boys with one sweet little peach of a girl, Psalm Lily.  I didn't think much of my fever at the time...

After the initial feverish/body ache phase passed, I was left with intense brain fog, nerve pain, headaches, and a whole host of random, miscellaneous things like heart palpitations, shortness of breath, fatigue, blurry vision, insomnia, joint pain, weight gain, slurred speech, cognitive dysfunction, and body-wide lymph node swelling.
About two months later, and nothing resolving with time, I went to my local doctor with all the concerns of what my new diagnosis could be. Brain tumor? Multiple Sclerosis? Rheumatoid Arthritis? Lyme disease? My initial diagnoses were vague and unsatisfactory. There were times I would pray for some red flag to show up on my blood work that would give me something to research.  I remember thinking, “It’s hard to fight a battle when you don’t know who your enemy is.”

I am so grateful that I am not just where I was before all of this started- I am far better (and truly healthier) than I was before! As they say, “Pain changes people.” Yes, it does…and if you open your heart, even your pain can be turned into a gift.
I see women everyday who have their own stories of pain and suffering, struggle and strife.  Every one of us have our own nuances; making us unique and mysterious in our our way.  But every woman I see has this in common: she knows she wants a better life than the one she is currently experiencing. One with fewer days filled with irritating (and sometimes debilitatiing!) symptoms and one with a whole lot more radiant joy and internal peace.

I know what’s it’s like to spend your days in a fog, wishing you could just focus on living the abundant life God has designed for you. You want to feel your best, but instead of rising each morning with joy and anticipation, you wake up with dread at another day of chronic illness. 

I’m not kidding—when I’m happy and taking care of myself, my kids practically turn into angels, and life just flows. But the moment I neglect my well-being, things start to slowly unravel. It’s both a beautiful gift and a heavy responsibility we moms carry.

Putting yourself first can feel impossible, but it’s like that airplane oxygen mask speech: it’s non-negotiable. Draw the line, set the boundary, because your health isn’t just about you—it’s the foundation for your household’s peace and your own sanity. And guess what? Science backs it up.

With over a five years of experience as a health practitioner and my own personal healing journey, I’ve learned that it’s the little shifts that make the biggest difference. The magic happens when you get clear on who you want to become and start stepping into that version of yourself, even before you’ve fully arrived. Your transformation is ready—you just have to say yes.

 ...is the moment things will begin to shift. I want you to see that you are worthy of everything your heart desires. Trust me.. when you see it, too, it’ll all begin fall into place.
