I'm a woman in midlife with three obsessions: my dog, Tucker, my heritage chickens and helping other women find the same relief and joy in this challenging time of their lives as I have - using their genetics as the guide!

My journey in a career in healing began at a young age when I witnessed so many women I loved struggling with mental health and disordered eating issues. I felt saddened by the deep level of body hatred and depression that I was surrounded by and wanted to be part of the solution.

To pursue this dream I studied psychology at the University of Alberta with a focus in emotional eating and eating disorders. However, one night while volunteering on a distress line, a caller took his life by suicide. This threw me for a loop and I decided to change my academic focus to education with a minor in educational psychology which seemed to be a much ‘safer’ career.

Yet, my calling couldn’t be denied and ten years later I immersed myself in the study of holistic nutrition and wellness coaching.

At this time; however, I was in a deeply failing marriage, had a toddler with a brain tumour, a challenging 4-year-old, a newborn, and was sadly struggling with my own eating disorder.

Thankfully, I had the tools, skills and my own coach's support to guide me toward emotional wellness and body freedom. My own experiences strengthened my resolve to give back and help others.

To best equip myself I trained as an RNCP at the Edison Institute of Holistic Nutrition, as well as Return to Food Coaching and Culinary Nutrition Expert Coaching. I am also a professionally trained and certified Integrative Life, Wellness and Feminine Embodiment Coach and hold an advanced certificate in Somatic Trauma Therapy.

My career was deeply satisfying until a few years ago when I hit a wall professionally and personally. I was in my mid-40s and starting to feel like I wanted to burn everything down and move into a van down by the river.

Things were rough. My emotions were a roller coaster, my hormones were a mess and my body felt like a stranger.

I felt like a fraud and a failure ... until I tested my genetics!

During my RNCP training, I was mesmerized by the new research on epigenetics and diving into this field to support myself well over a decade later felt like coming home. It all clicked!

I believe that our bodies know exactly what we need to thrive and using my genetics as a map to optimal health has been a game changer for me. So much, in fact, that I halted everything I was doing in my business to focus on supporting other women in finding their optimal health and well-being using their genetics as a guide!

Now, my pleasure and passion is holistically supporting my clients in their healing so they can live their most radiant, whole and fulfilling lives! My work is rooted in love and compassion, and I can’t think of a better vocation than being a guiding light for others to find the same joy and health in middle age that I have
