Live Happy
Take a quick assessment of your life. Has your battery light been on for weeks years? Do you need to hit that recharge button? What do your daily self-care rituals look like? Do you get enough “quality” sleep? (These all play a vital part in living H-A-P-P-Y.)
Be Healthy
Do you make healthy food choices most of the time? Do you get the right type of nutrients that YOUR body needs? Where are you falling short?
Be Whole
This is pure science! If your diet and lifestyle aren’t in sync, you can’t be or feel whole. (It’s that simple.) It’s not about quick-fix diet plans or a stress management crash courses. Rather, it’s an entire way of life.
And I’m so insanely passionate about custom, whole nutrition because I know exactly how important it is first-hand. (This is just a fancy way of saying I grew up in Connecticut as the child of divorced parents, and I struggled with diet and stress management issues my entire life.)
On the outside I was always the happy kid, smiling ear-to-ear and laughing the loudest. On the inside, I was a wreck. My stress and anxiety caused gut problems, which caused more stress and anxiety, which caused more gut problems. (You get the picture.)
It manifested more as I grew up. If I wasn’t chugging a Coke and working around the clock, I wasn’t sure what to do with myself. The real kicker came when I ended up in the emergency room with crippling stomach pain. A colonoscopy later revealed I had a severe case of Irritable Bowel Syndrome. (I got lucky.)
Instead of finding an alternative path to better health, I went on a Class C drug for 6 years. The drugs didn’t really work, but they did really interfere with me getting pregnant for the first time. It wasn’t until I tapped into ME that things started coming together.
Yes, ME. By listening to what MY body needed to thrive (not just survive), I was able to kick caffeine and fried foods to the curb, dump my IBS drug for good, and find the right nutritional supplements for my body.
The revealing results? I got pregnant!

After all, the human body is a sum of all its parts, and it’s my job to identify the areas that are causing imbalance (and all sorts of stress) to your life—and then empower you to make the changes that will have the biggest impact.
Seemingly “small” things like an unknown food allergy to milk or too much time spent sitting in front of a computer create a negative domino effect that can be felt throughout your entire body. By treating you as a whole person, nourishing your body with whole foods, and removing toxins + additive substances, we’re treating the underlying causes of weight gain, fatigue, and disease. (Disease is basically dis-ease in the body.)
