What I do

I'm visiting with new friends when the typical small talk, getting to know you type questions start to come up. 

You know
"where are you from?" 
"what do you do?"

I respond with a smile and say, "I'm a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner." 

The typical response to my answer is...."A what??!! What does that mean??"

To answer their question and perhaps yours, I am here to guide, teach and support you in building your path to a life of wellness. An approach that is unique to you!

What is a path of wellness?
Creating a path of wellness is about being mindfully and actively paying attention to what makes you feel best.

Why is it important?
When you become intentional and focus on your personal wellness, you will likely feel healthier, have more energy, and connect with your purpose. 

I work with each client on a bio-individual level. 

Bio-individuality. Bio-individuality is the idea that each of us has unique food and lifestyle needs. No food philosophy or diet can yield the same results for everyone. Your current circumstances, challenges, lifestyle, strengths, and weaknesses influence what foods will serve you best.
.
As a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, I believe in the philosophy that centers on the idea that real health can be achieved through a holistic and individualized approach to nutrition and lifestyle.
.
My mission is to promote health by providing nutritional education. I follow a foundational, holistic approach that focuses on the importance of :

properly prepared

 nutrient-dense

whole foods

as well as

A well-balanced lifestyle. 

 

I help my clients STOP! I want them to stop comparing themselves and their children to the women they know or their families on the social web. Stop thinking if what they're doing isn't working for you and your home, then you're doing it wrong. Perhaps it's just wrong for you!
.

My clients have to WORK alongside me to discover what works for them and their home! 

I help my clients not only live well but to THRIVE! To feel in control and have a plan. I help women and mothers feel strong, feel peace, and love the skin they're in. 

Protein

Protein is a macronutrient (meaning that the body needs a relatively large amount of it).

.
Protein is ESSENTIAL for life. It is involved in digestive health, provides building blocks for the body's tissues and muscles, hormone production, immune health and so much more.
.
Protein is part of EVERY single cell in the body!! Including our hair, skin, nails and muscle tone! (whit woo)

.
Not only should we be eating enough protein but we need to be eating the right kind, because not all proteins are created equally.

With animal proteins, look for labels with:
organic
free-range
pasture-raised
grass-fed
wild-caught
.

(Processed meats can be full of nitrates, sugar and preservatives and should be avoided.)
 .
What are your favorite ways to get protein in?

New Year

The celebration of a New Year is a special time. Ringing in the New Year with loved ones and having time of self reflection is a time I look forward to.

I love making resolutions, I love looking back and seeing success in past resolutions and growth in myself. The most significant New Year resolutions I have made in the past have been after the births of my children. I have a December, November, August and now July baby. After each child the New Year approached quickly and I have found myself needing much internal work.

Nighttime feedings and early morning snuggles give me time to ponder on....

What type of mother I want to show up as.
How I want my children to see their mother.
What type of wife I want to be and the relationship with my husband I want to create.
What type of daughter of God I want to be.
How I can bring the spirit into our home and hearts.
How I can be more gentle with myself, with my mind and body.
How I can be a better friend, sister and daughter.

How I can become the women God knows I can be. 

So many things race through my head as I am sleep deprived and in total newborn bliss.

Now is a time I ponder what types of things I need to be doing NOW to mold myself into the wife, mother and woman I want to be by next year. What daily choices do I need to be striving for?

What are my goals, what are my dreams?

I'll be writing mine down, will you?
