I’ve been on the wellness path for close to 2 decades, but it wasn’t always that way. I became a mom at a young age and did everything the “normal” way — fast food, candy bars, trusting the standard system without question. By the time I had my daughter in 2014, I had swung to the opposite extreme: home birth with a midwife, only vegan, scratch made, organic food, non-toxic everything. It was empowering, but also isolating, and I realized that rigidity wasn’t serving me either.

Over the past 5 years, I’ve found balance. I’m no longer vegan, but I still choose organic when possible. I care deeply about reducing toxins in my home, kitchen, and body — but I also allow myself to eat out, share meals with friends, and enjoy life without guilt. To me, health is joyful living, intentional action, a good heart, and strong community — not perfection.

That balance is why I share product recommendations here. I’ve lived both extremes — from drive-thru diets to overly rigid clean living — and I know how confusing it can be to figure out what’s actually worth your time and money. Every item I suggest is something I’ve researched, tested, or personally use. My goal is to help you skip the overwhelm and feel confident that what you’re bringing into your home, body, or daily rituals is truly supportive, trustworthy, and aligned with a balanced lifestyle.

Along the way I’ve worn many hats: former plant-based chef and consultant, event planner, and most recently, digital course creator. One of my greatest passions is bringing people together — through retreats, community events, festivals, and workshops — to experience connection, empowerment, and authenticity.

That passion birthed my latest offering: Unfiltered: A Journey to Authenticity & Audacity, a digital course designed to help you shed the roles, masks, and obligations that keep you small, so you can live boldly and unapologetically.

I’m also a proud mom of two, proof that you can reinvent yourself (more than once) while raising a family, building businesses, and creating a life that feels aligned.

At the heart of everything I do is this: wellness isn’t about restriction — it’s about living with authenticity, audacity, and joy.
