About me.....

Picture

​Mother's Day 2014, my 9 year old daughter asked me
"Mom-how old was your mom when she died? and how old were you?"
I pause for a moment and reply-"I was 9 years old sweetheart and my mother was 42."
Very quickly my daughter responds-
"I'm 9 and you are 42.  I can't imagine my life without you mom. 
She wraps her arms around me, gives me the biggest hug ever and says-"
You must have been very sad. I wish I could have met her." 



It took me 42 years and a brilliant loving daughter to help me realize I needed to change my life or I was going to repeat history. 
  • ​I was 100 pounds overweight. 
  • My job had become working 55+ hours a week in a high stress environment.
  • I was exhausted-mentally and physically. 
  • I had no time for myself, my family or friends.
Life had just kind of happened and the reality was I had not become the person I always thought I was meant to be...far from it. Our family lived on spaghetti, frozen pizzas, mac n cheese and whatever was fast and convenient.  We ran from one activity to the next -and when I say ran-I mean our car drove fast- this girl was not running anywhere!

​I wasn't sleeping well, my hormones had decided they wanted to take over my body and drive for awhile- that was definitely not working out well for anyone!
I was tired.  Just tired. Everything I knew about cooking I had learned in middle school home economics class (I could make chocolate chip cookies, bake an apple pie and sew a pillow). I would crash diet and lose a bunch of weight only to gain it all back and then some.  My poor scale just wanted to be left alone. 

How did this happen and more importantly-what was I going to do about it?


So that Mother's Day was the day my true journey began.  It was time to roll up my sleeves, make some serious life changes and create a new and much improved me. I owed it to myself and my family.  It was time to get smart about what being healthy really looked like, surround myself with health and wellness experts  and start down the path to finding authentic wellness that would become my lifestyle.... for me.

Life lessons I learned the hard way...

  • There is no magic pill
  • Diets don't work
  • Exercise alone isn't going to get you there
  • Stress will undermine any and all attempts you make to be a better you.  Getting to the root of stress and learning how to properly manage it can be a lifesaver! I can help you with that
  • What works for me might not work for you-we are all beautiful unique individuals and we need to listen to our bodies-they are telling us everything we need to know​
Wellness starts with the food you nourish your body with, the love you show yourself and the lifestyle you choose to create and thrive in. I chose a holistic approach to health and wellness-embracing the idea that you will achieve life balance as a result of maximizing all areas of your life.  The secret to success lies in finding your truest most authentic self and then living your life with purpose and passion.
