Unlocking the Secret to Gut Health
Have you ever felt like your gut was trying to tell you something? Maybe it was a persistent feeling of bloating or discomfort after meals, or perhaps it was a general sense of unease that you couldn't quite shake.

Contrary to popular belief, achieving optimal gut health isn't about finding a magic bullet or following the latest fad diet. It's about making sustainable lifestyle changes that support your body's natural balance. And let me tell you, it's worth every ounce of effort.
So, how did I do it?

Mindful Eating: The journey to gut health starts on your plate. I began by paying closer attention to what I was putting into my body, opting for whole, nutrient-dense foods that nourished me from the inside out.

Stress Management: It's no secret that stress can wreak havoc on your gut. That's why I prioritized stress-reducing activities like meditation, yoga, and deep breathing exercises.

Detoxification: Toxins lurk everywhere in our modern world, from the air we breathe to the products we use. I made a conscious effort to minimize my exposure to harmful chemicals by choosing organic produce, using natural cleaning products, and opting for eco-friendly personal care items.

Movement: Physical activity isn't just about burning calories; it's also essential for promoting healthy digestion and circulation. By listening to my body and moving in ways that felt good, I supported my overall well-being, including my gut health.

Holistic Approach: Finally, I embraced a holistic approach to wellness that prioritized balance in all areas of my life. Instead of fixating on restrictive diets or quick fixes, I focused on nurturing my body, mind, and spirit in harmony.

In the end, achieving optimal gut health was about more than just changing my diet or popping a probiotic pill. It was about adopting a holistic lifestyle that supported my body’s ability to heal and thrive. And while the journey wasn't always easy, the results were more than worth it.

If you're ready to take control of your gut health, I’d love to help you!

We can embrace mindful eating, manage stress effectively, detoxify our bodies, move with joy, and approach wellness from a holistic perspective. So, are you ready to say goodbye to digestive discomfort and hello to vibrant health? Grab my guide here to get started!

I am a bold, beautiful, sometimes timid, usually happy, essential oil, nutrition junkie. Although at 39 I feel as if I've had several careers over a lifetime (or at least sometimes when I look back at my resume that is what shines through). I've been a paralegal, an office manager, an administrative assistant, worked in commercial lending and have finally landed on nutrition.

My journey to nutrition started many years ago when my sister was diagnosed with celiac disease and food had to change for the family. From there, along my own health journey I’ve helped people not only figure out what to eat but how to do it so that it can work for them sustainably. For almost seven years I’ve been counseling people on their nutrition and weight loss journeys.

I am knowledgeable about what purpose food serves your body and I focus on finding sustainable options when it comes to food; this also led to my love of essential oils. I had the opportunity to attend a workshop where a registered dietitian spoke about using essential oils in her practice to help her patients. I was floored. I knew that #plantsheal but I didn't realize that others in the 'conventional' medical community thought that as well!! Learning that it was possible to incorporate these magical little bottles gave me a huge sense of hope.

As I learned more about these oils I was diagnosed with increased intestinal permeability or as many of us know it, leaky gut. Leaky gut has been around for quite awhile but many of us are just learning what this is or why this is even more common these days than ever before. Many issues can be related to leaky gut including autoimmune diseases. Receiving this diagnosis just led me down a path further to learn about nutrition and how to best serve my body and take care of myself.

Since birthing our sweet baby boy at home earlier this year I’ve been incredibly passionate about helping other women too who are pregnant and new mothers with their nutrition. Eating healthy for your pregnant body and your postpartum self is a game changer for both mother and baby.
