Did You Know Gut Health is Key to Managing Autoimmune Wellness?
When we think about gut health, digestion often comes to mind. But did you know your gut is like the control center for so much more than breaking down food? It’s deeply connected to your immune system, your energy levels, and even how your body handles inflammation. For those living with autoimmune conditions, gut health can play a massive role in managing symptoms and feeling better overall.

Here’s the fascinating part: around 70% of your immune system is housed in your gut. That means when your gut is balanced and thriving, it has the power to reduce inflammation, regulate immunity, and bring much-needed stability to autoimmune symptoms. On the flip side, an imbalanced gut—think too many processed foods, stress, or poor sleep—can trigger inflammation and make autoimmune symptoms worse.

For me, healing my gut was a game-changer. It didn’t just help with digestion; it shifted my energy, mood, and how I showed up in my day-to-day life. And while it wasn’t always easy (hello, lifestyle changes!), the results were worth it. Healing starts in the gut.

If this resonates with you, I’ve got some exciting news. In 2024, you don’t have to navigate your health journey alone. I’m hosting a workshop specifically for those ready to tackle gut health, support autoimmune wellness, and feel better—physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Together, we’ll dive into setting personalized health intentions and building a sustainable vision that truly works for your life. No one-size-fits-all approaches here—this is about creating a plan that feels doable, not overwhelming.

So, if you’ve been waiting for a sign to prioritize your health, this is it. Let’s make 2025 the year you take control, heal from the inside out, and feel more like yourself again.

✨ You deserve to feel amazing. Let’s make it happen—together.

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.
