My story starts with my mom. ♥
She spent most of her life trying to lose weight—buying diet magazines, printing meal plans, trying pills, and chasing quick fixes that never lasted.
But her relationship with food wasn’t her fault.
Growing up with very little, she learned to eat quickly or risk going without. That urgency stayed with her. She would skip meals, then become ravenous later—eating quickly, overeating, and never feeling in control around food.
When she passed away in 2022 after years of complications from Type 2 diabetes—neuropathy, persistent wounds, dangerously high blood pressure, depression, failing kidneys, and strokes,—I found stacks of diet plans and articles on obesity all over her home. It was heartbreaking.
She had all the information.
What she didn’t have was the support, tools, and understanding to change the patterns.
And for a long time, neither did I.
Even though I was active and into fitness, I struggled with my own relationship with food in my younger years.
I chased quick fixes.
Bought into diet culture.
Tried pills, shakes, and “fat-free” everything.
I didn’t understand how to eat.
I just wanted to be smaller.
Looking back, I can see how much of that was learned.
But over time, I realized:
There is no quick fix.
Lasting change comes from consistency, awareness, and learning how to work with your body—not against it.
As a young adult, fitness became my outlet.
From workouts with weights in my early years to playing rugby for over 25 years—and now competing in CrossFit in my 50s—movement has shaped who I am.
It gave me confidence, discipline, and a sense of control in my life.
But the biggest transformation wasn’t physical.
It was learning how to properly fuel my body, build sustainable habits, and feel confident around food. It was shifting from pushing and punishing my body… to actually supporting it.
Today, as a registered health coach, life coach, and menopause coaching specialist, I help women break free from the same patterns that kept my mom—and once kept me—stuck.
No more:
Instead, you’ll learn how to:
Because this isn’t about willpower.
It’s about changing the patterns—so you can finally feel healthier, stronger, and at peace in your body.
If you’re ready to stop starting over and finally feel in control around food and your body—
I’m here to help.
You don’t have to figure this out alone.
Just when I felt like I had finally figured out my body… everything started to change.
In midlife, I began experiencing symptoms I couldn’t explain—mood swings, anxiety, insomnia, brain fog, and joint pain. I went to my doctor looking for answers, but like so many women, I was told my hormone levels were “normal” and that I might be in perimenopause.
It was frustrating. Dismissing. And honestly, confusing.
After everything I had learned about health, nutrition, and fitness—I still felt like I was back at square one.
So I did what I’ve always done.
I started learning.
I dove deep into understanding what was happening in my body, how hormones actually impact how we feel, and what real support during this phase of life should look like.
That journey didn’t just help me feel like myself again—it changed how I coach.
I went on to become a certified menopause coaching specialist so I could support other women who feel dismissed, confused, or stuck in their own bodies.
Because this stage of life isn’t something you just “get through.”
With the right support, you can feel strong, clear, and in control again.
And you don’t have to figure it out alone.
