Long story short, after living in France I came to realize that life doesn’t have to be lived one way, and food doesn’t have to be filled with sh*t. This, along with the realization that some medications symptom treat, instead of cure, fueled me to learn more about integrative health and how we can each live the life we desire with a little support and motivation, and a lot of discipline and purpose.

If you live in America, I’m sure you’re familiar with the always-busy culture, the processed food diet, and the idea that more is better. I found that Europeans typically believe in a different style of living. They tend to practice a life filled with less processed food, time spent with loved ones, natural daily movement, and inherently living more than they work. With having the privilege to experience a different lifestyle and culture, I immediately felt inspired to share with other American’s that there just might be another way to do things, one that encourages us to stress less and enjoy life a little more— all while being a whole lot healthier.

My experience abroad became a stepping stone into how I began to live my life in the states. In an effort to actually feel good, I made a decision to dive into holistic healing where I learned the importance of working from the root. I started with applying my lifestyle from France to my life in America, focusing on eating foods without preservatives and creating work-life balance. Then, I dove into the holistic side of things: eating nutrient dense foods, practicing breath work, moving my body daily, spending time in nature, and placing an emphasis on the relationship with myself and others — and I haven’t turned back since.

Hoping to encourage others to be their own best advocates and embrace the natural, more simple practices of life, I became a certified Health Coach through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition.

Come along with me on this forever-evolving journey of health and wellness — feeling empowered to live your most purposeful life yet.
