I spent years in pain — painful periods, no energy, hormones all over the place. The standard answer was birth control. But that wasn't my answer.

When I leaned into nutrition as a teenager, everything shifted. I found energy. I found strength in my body. I found myself. And I loved what that felt like.

I carried that into motherhood. I nourished myself through pregnancy, prepared myself for postpartum, thought I had it all figured out. Then my daughter arrived, and everything I planned went out the window. Breastfeeding changed what my body needed. Her sensitivities meant I couldn't eat what I'd been eating. I was at ground zero — a first-time mom, nursing, completely depleted.

But I had the tools. And through nutritional therapy, I found my way back to myself — not back to who I was before, but into who I'm becoming as a mother. That's what I want for you.
