I am so happy you’re here! I know how it feels to be running on empty, feeling frazzled with an endless to do list, and no way to catch up, make a meal, or fit in a couple glasses of water.

Working through the burnout I was experiencing changed the way I looked at food, nutrition, and my wellness overall. After years of struggling with an eating disorder, I found peace with my plate but not knowing how to shut down the perfectionist in me, I finally had no choice but to slow down, get intentional, and truly heal.

As a Registered Dietitian, my hope is to help as many other type-A, go-getter, “sleep when you’re dead” women to find a way to break free from burnout, support their busy lifestyles, and thrive in their every day life.

My Story

Trust me, I’ve been there too… Stuck in an endless loop of burnout. Doing everything I can, pushing myself to to limit to make everything in my life fit, then spinning out, breaking down, only to do it all over again. I first experienced burnout in my early twenties — I was working full time, in a 40 hour per week internship, running the home I lived in with my now husband, trying to have a social life, stay active, and pursue my master’s degree. Whew, I’m exhasted all over again just typing it out! I was stretched in a million directions, putting my well-being on the backburner. I was stressed out, couldn’t focus, felt emotionally all over the place, and wasn’t showing up in any aspects of my life at more than 50%. I mean, I had a rolodex of my to do list constantly running in my head that distracted me from any kind of “in the moment” living.

It took years to recognize that I was stuck in the burnout cycle — push as hard as I can, do as much as possible, only to find myself breaking down, crying at work, laying in bed for hours, and feeling helpless and hopeless. And then I’d do it all again, because I thought the answer was to do more and be better. After 10 years of hustle, working multiple jobs, adding more and more to my plate — I finally broke. I looked in the mirror and didn’t recognize the girl staring back at me. I was dull, foggy, running on fumes, losing weight, stressed to the max, constantly anxious, and feeling completely lost.

After learning to slow down, prioritize my health with the time I have, and realize that if I wasn’t showing up for myself — there was no way I could show up for the thousands of things I was trying to do every day. I found ways to make the habits that support my well being into my busy life, because as much as I want to slow down… I love to stay busy! And I wanted to make it work.

As a new mom, finding the way out of burnout, or recognizing when it starts to creep in, has become even more important in my personal life. I want to continue to balance motherhood, my love for running, showing up for my friends and family, and not losing myself in the process.


 
 

What I Do Now

We live in a hustle praising, non-stop, “go big or go home” society, and it is burning us high-achieving, type-A, go-getter gals out more and more. I knew that if I had suffered for so long with burnout, that there had to be so many other women who were as well. So now, it is my goal to help all of the amazing women who believe they aren’t good enough, they aren’t doing enough, or who feel trapped in a cycle of burning out every couple of months — there is a way to take care of yourself that doesn’t take over your life, or ask you to sacrifice who you are. If you’re busy and you like it… we are made for each other. I can show you how to make it work! Because I’m living proof that there is room for you in your life, and a way to balance busy to not just survive life, but thrive.

Having lived the burnt out life for so long, I’ve made it my mission to help you break out of the cycle of hustle - burnout - crash - repeat.
From nutrition articles to keep you informed of the latest on nutrition, wellness, and fitness when it comes to taking care of your overall health, to recipes that are quick and easy to make, nutritious, and support you no matter what busy AF phase of life you’re in.

I also work with women (like you!) one on one to build better habits, simplify what you’ve got going on, and find a way to truly thrive in your every day life. I have worked with 100+ women towards their various goals, but many have had the same underlying needs:

A simpler approach to nutrition and fitness.
Kitchen tips and tricks to make healthy eating quick & easy.
Supportive lifestyle habits.
Better understand their personal needs.
Optimizing energy, time, and focus on what truly matters.
Improve hormone, digestive, and overall health.
