I was born in Charleston, SC and moved to northern Colorado in 2008, where I currently reside in Fort Collins. I graduated from Colorado State University with a bachelor’s in psychology and a minor in business. As an exercise enthusiast and outdoor explorer, I find joy in many activities like dancing, weightlifting, running (especially with my two-year-old husky/shepherd), hiking, snowboarding, and more. I have been fascinated with health, nutrition, and exercise for more than 15 years, and it’s that curiosity, along with my own personal health struggles, that has brought me to this amazing realm of functional medicine and nutrition. By the end of 2024, I will have my certification in Functional Nutrition Counseling (CFNC), which will equip me with more tools to supplement my functional nutrition health coaching services.
In my adolescence, I lacked healthy eating habits and regular exercise. My family did their best, but I wish I had guidance for better choices. In middle school, I began exercising to feel better about myself. By college, I noticed changes in my body and experimented with elimination diets. Reading books, listening to podcasts, and seeking help taught me how food and physiology impact my body, mindset, and life.
In my mid-twenties, I shifted from eliminating foods to focusing on what to add. This transformed my relationship with food and emphasized the importance of macronutrients, micronutrients, hydration, sleep, and stress reduction. Alongside my primary care physician, I consulted a functional medicine health coach who helped test my biomarkers for a clearer view of my health. Without her guidance, I would have been left guessing my health needs. I learned strategies I could implement to improve specific aspects of my health, and even just learning to tweak a few things has had profound impacts. This personalized coaching inspired me to help others address their health concerns efficiently and begin healing faster.
