Re-introduction…because it is easy to live over here in my bubble and assume the people I serve know where to find me

I thought it was time I do that thing where people “reintroduce” themselves.

In a nutshell, I help people overcome exhaustion, stress, and frustration in regards to their body size and health so they can pursue freedom, grace, and God-centered wellness. (For people of faith, we focus on surrendering this area of our lives over to God so we can live free and in the joy of the Lord.) After enduring my own journey of disordered eating, overexercise, and burn-out; I learned to focus on body attunement and nourishment-based eating. This led to improved mental and physical health, enhancing my passion for helping others do the same.

My formal occupation is “Registered Dietitian Nutritionist,” which basically means I help people take care of themselves in regards to how they eat and approach food. I am also passionate about helping others find joy in movement, peace in the midst of chaotic lives, and recovery from daily stressors. I approach wellness in a realistic and effective way that works for each person.

I work one-on-one with clients. As a dietitian, I am licensed in pretty much the whole Southeast and can see clients in many other states as well. I teach fitness classes, particularly mindfulness-based and inspired by dance & yoga. I do way too many mental health coaching courses through the AACC because I’m nerdy like that and love people. I am in the middle of writing my first book.

I am a woman of faith. I am a wife. I am an unconventional mom. After struggling with infertility for almost a decade, we became an “instant family” overnight when our 2 boys came to live with us. In the years prior, there were many moments of feeling brokenhearted and alone in my grief for what I did not yet have. I am grateful for my boys who “grew in my heart and not my belly” as I tell them. I am grateful for what God did in my heart during all the years of waiting. It’s easy to only show the “highlights” online and not the hard days, but we have both.

I am an “extroverted introvert.” I am both reserved and overly honest. I hate too much attention but hate feeling left out. I am deep but also silly. I am a recovering perfectionist who is learning to give myself more grace. Overall, I love helping people live in freedom and feel their best.
