It’s a common story: once a year, the doctor says to lose weight and eat better — but then you’re on your own the other 364 days.

Have you ever gone to your doctor for a routine check up and he tells you that you need to lose weight and that you’re headed for diabetes, heart problems, or other awful diseases? He then tells you that all you have to do is eat healthier and exercise, he may even write you a prescription — and then you’re on your way home. But you get home, get on the internet, and see 25 different popular diets — how sugar has 50 different names, how there’s gluten free, dairy free, nut free, soy free —  so you get super overwhelmed and revert back to eating the way you were, adding in the occasional salad and take the pills you were prescribed.  Unfortunately, this is fairly common nowadays. People want to be healthy, but they don’t get the support or the guidance necessary to get them there in our busy modern lives. I speak from personal experience — I was diagnosed with tons of disorders after the birth of my second child (read more here).

So where do I come in?  Well, I come in somewhere after you get overwhelmed and don’t know what to do. I want to provide that support and guidance that I wish I had during my own healing journey.

It took me endless hours to research information on the internet, wasted money to figure out what tasted good and what tasted awful, what was easy to cook or not worth cooking at all, what diet worked for me, who to believe and what information was factual.  I wish I had someone that I could ask questions when I was scared or confused, or someone to point me in the right direction, someone to take the time to teach me or educate me on things, to put it in simplest terms, I wish I had a coach.  Someone to support me, to listen to me, to guide me, cheer me on, do the leg work for me.  That’s me!
