My story

Although I’ve always been interested in wellness, my passion really began to deepen when I was pregnant with our first child. When my doctor told me I shouldn’t take Advil because it could potentially harm the baby, it stopped me in my tracks. It made me start asking bigger questions about the things we put in and on our bodies — and, maybe more importantly, why we so often accept things without questioning them.

Once our son arrived, I felt a strong desire to support his body in the most natural ways I could. I started asking questions, learning from trusted sources, and researching endlessly. Little by little, I began applying what I was learning to our everyday life.

That season taught me to trust my maternal instincts, but it also taught me something deeper: to slow down, pay attention and become more intentional about what we allow into our homes, our bodies & our lives.

Then, in 2019, my full-of-life father was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

Walking with him through his final months changed me in ways I’m still able to see today. I witnessed firsthand the incredible strength of his spirit, his mindset & the way he chose to live — even in the midst of something so difficult. My dad didn’t always take the best care of his body, yet he lived with remarkable energy and presence well into his late seventies. Cancer ultimately took his life, but the way he faced that season with optimism and an incredible inner strength, left a lasting impression on me.

It helped me understand something I had been slowly learning all along: we are not just bodies. Our spirit, mind & body are deeply connected, and the way we care for one affects the others.

As I continued learning and eventually became certified as an Integrative Health Practitioner, my framework Rethink, Restore, Radiate began to take shape. It became a simple way of expressing what I had come to believe about wellness: RETHINK the stories and beliefs that shape the way we see ourselves. RESTORE the body with simple, intentional care. RADIATE by living from a place of greater clarity, peace, purpose, and alignment.

Today, that framework continues to shape the way I approach wellness but my work has grown beyond simply what we eat, what products we use, or how we care for our physical bodies.

It’s about the WHOLE of who we are. It’s about learning to listen, to pay attention, to care for what God has entrusted to us, and to let Him lead us in the everyday things that make up our lives.

This work isn’t about control or perfection. It’s about learning to live well from the inside out, rooted in grace, grounded in truth & willing to follow where God leads.
