I’m a Montessori teacher turned health advocate, integrative health practitioner, and trauma-informed coach focused on preventative care. After my first child, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s, an autoimmune thyroid disease causing low energy, hair loss, fatigue, and brain fog.
I’ve always believed in food as medicine, but motherhood and this diagnosis made it essential to learn how to heal from within while raising a family.
I brought my passion for food and cooking into the classroom, where the children showed me how vital nutrition is for brain development. I’ve dedicated my time to nurturing and nourishing children and families, and after leaving the classroom, I built a business centered on food heritage, regenerative agriculture, gut health, and herbalism.
Becoming an Integrative Health Practitioner and Trauma-Informed Coach united these passions. Today, I support children and adults through personalized, preventative, and sustainable care plans rooted in nutrition and holistic health.

Women who are survivors of being trafficked and deal with a LOT of trauma. We focus on rebalancing their body through nutrition, nervous system resetting, learning about food, meal planning and eating a variety of foods for gut and mental health. I have connected this organization to many local farmers who are supporting their health through a bounty of local produce and products.
