My Story

In addition to being a Holistic Nutrition Practitioner, I am also a Certified Personal Trainer and Registered Holistic Nutrition & Health Coach RHNC™️, RHC. I have been in the Health and Wellness industry for 17+ years.

In addition to my Holistic Nutrition Practice, I am also the founder and operator of New Image Fitness Studio for 17+ years. Given my background in Personal Training and Mental Health Coaching that can add a layer of deep healing in the work we do together. Combining science-backed methods and the wisdom of nature, I work in depth with each individual to identify the root causes of their health problems and create a tailored program that delivers results. I am committed to helping you achieve optimal health, rebalance your hormones and gut so that you can live a happier and more energized life.

In 2018 I decided to go back to school to become a Holistic Nutritionist. I went to NutraPhoria School of Holistic Nutrition. It has always been a passion of mine!

For many years I have struggled with bloating and gas, especially after eating certain foods. I learned to live with it and controlled it by avoiding the foods that were triggers, and bugged me. I was managing great, and doing a few things that my Naturopath suggested.  

But in 2017 my world and life changed forever! I went through major trauma I almost lost my son due to a very severe car accident. My body was stuck in Fight or Flight mode for many years. Being in Fight or Flight mode shuts down your digestive system, therefore I was not breaking down my food properly, not to mention not absorbing all the nutrients of the food I was eating because of not producing enough stomach acid. I had deficiencies as a result of it. This wreaked havoc on my gut and then in turn my hormones since they are linked.

Lots of bloating, discomfort, belly fat, sleep disturbances, migraines, brain fog, and anxiety. 

In researching all of my symptoms everything led to Candida, which made sense after my body was so stressed.  So I decided to create a protocol based on my research and treat myself for Candida. My ND did a DUTCH test so I knew I had hormone imbalances. In doing my own protocol and was able to get rid of the Candida with a specific diet, supplements/herbs, and learn how to manage my grief and stress through working out meditation, and breathwork.

This is why it's my calling to help you rebalance your gut and hormones so that you’ll no longer struggle with bloating, low energy, up & down moods, weight gain and so much more. I wish that I had this kind of program to help me when I was going through my Gut & Hormone issues!

I am also a Crazy Cat Lady… we have 6 cats of our own! (Crosby, Willow, Daphne, Lark, Lumi, and Koa.) I also have a Son & Granddaughter!

I’m very involved in rescue work with not only rescuing but also fostering. All of our cats are rescue cats with the exception of Crosby the fluffy white guy. I love being outdoors, camping, gardening, hiking, cooking, reading, and spending time with family, friends, and our cats.
