I was exactly where you are now. When I was 23 I lost my period for 2 years after being on the birth control pill for 7 years, I went on it at 15 “to help regulate my period” and as a 15 year old with no knowledge of the female body or birth control, I trusted my doctor and went on it.
During those 7 years I went through what I would later realize to be some of the hardest years of my life, I grew up with alcoholic parents and had to take care of my younger brother through my entire high school life. I was the caregiver and parent to him and myself and I was channeling my unstable home environment and all of my unconscious trauma into disordered eating and exercise habits as a way to have some form of control over my life.
When I came off the pill at 23 I was at the height of my undereating and overexercising, my body didn’t know how to regulate itself or how to have a regular menstrual cycle on its own and it definitely didn’t feel safe enough to do so because I was restricting food and my stress response was so high, I was constantly in a state of fight or flight.
I knew something was off so I began looking for answers, and after being dismissed by countless doctors, I started to do my own research. I discovered that hormones impact every single function in our bodies and that our menstrual cycle is like a monthly insight into what’s going on, I realized that striving for hormone balance was the key to feeling good and I could actually heal myself with nutrition, supplementation, herbs, and lifestyle practices.
I am extremely passionate about realistic wellness, nourishing the body, intuitive eating, and hormonal balance. I have healed my mind and my body, balanced my hormones, regained my menstrual cycle after losing it for years, healed my gut, and changed my life through nourishing whole foods, vitamin & mineral supplementation, and stress reduction and I teach my clients to do the same.
I know how it feels to feel like you don’t have control over your body and be frustrated by a lack of answers, and my mission is to make you feel seen, heard, and amazing in your body.
My life’s greatest passion is helping women take back their lives through balanced hormones and a realistic and sustainable approach to nutrition and wellness.
