A few years ago, I was struggling with my weight, my health, my energy. In 2018, at 5’2″ and 149 lbs, I had this looming feeling that I was going to die. I was working at a very stressful job as a salaried RN Case Manager in a very busy hospital. I NEVER went home on time and worked plenty of overtime… for free. I knew I needed to make a change in my life, and quick. This time, I knew I needed to do it differently. No more crazy diets and intense exercise that never seemed to take off the weight.

I wanted to learn how to improve my health naturally and be able to teach others the same. I decided to learn all that I could via the Health Coach Institute. When I learned all that I did in becoming a health coach, I wanted to share it with others right away. While getting certified, I was also incorporating essential oils into my health and wellness regimen. I fell in love with essential oils so much, I ended up getting certified as an essential oil specialist with DoTerra!

Truly, the moment it all changed for me was when I said yes to a change. When I decided to let go of fear and move on to a healthier life. Something clicked in my brain, and I never wanted to go back. I applied all that I learned and began to see improvement, almost immediately.

I was able to accomplish a steady, healthy 18 lb weight loss thru habit change, a healthier lifestyle, gentle and fun exercise and putting whole nutrition in my body. I began to see my lifestyle changes as freedom rather than restriction. I changed my perspective, my habits and my life. My strength was renewed.

Are there times that I eat something I’m not supposed to? Yes. Do I indulge at times? Yes. Did I gain a little weight back? Yes. But there is no judgement. We are human. No one is perfect. The important thing is knowing the foundation of what true holistic and whole wellness is for me. I learned this thru trial and error. We learn what works best for us and what doesn’t.

God created us with one of the most amazing machines…our bodies. I would love the opportunity to be a part of the journey you are in, teach you all about habit change, make some amazing programs accessible to you and provide you with some great information about essential oils. In honoring our bodies as temples that they are, we honor our Creator. When we honor our Creator, our lifestyle choices are much easier to make.

I am a wife to a great man, a mom to a beautiful teenager with the kindest spirit, and we have 1 doggie and a birdie. I want to be healthy for them, I want to be able to do things we love to do like travel. I don’t want to feel sick all the time like I used to. I don’t ever want to feel like I’m a walking time bomb again. God put me on this earth to live life and to love life. I know that I am not alone with these feelings, and I want to help those that really want a change have the tools and resources to do so.
