I specialize in weight-loss resistance stemming
from hormonal imbalances, digestive and
detoxification issues, food allergies, and poor
lifestyle habits including sleep disturbances,
inadequate activity and stress. Excess weight
is just a symptom signaling that the body is in
a state of imbalance. By identifying these
imbalances and implementing the necessary
dietary and lifestyle changes to course correct,
function returns and health is restored!
You will
find that as nutrient deficiencies,
toxicity, infections, inflammation, allergies,
and lifestyle factors are all addressed, not
only will your most distressing complaint be
eliminated, but other health annoyances will
also miraculously fade away.
By giving
the body everything it needs
holistically, and
removing
what it
doesn't, valuable energy is created which
is necessary for significant healing to occur
in all systems of the body. It is not about
deprivation, but rather gradually
crowding out the bad to make room for the good.
Through consistent daily lifestyle changes,
great transformation can take place over time.
Education and commitment are both critical so
that what is learned can take root and flourish
for a lifetime. When you know better, you do
better! My philosophy of "eat and sleep your way
to beauty and vibrant health" encompasses a
better way of living the abundant life!

I became interested in nutrition and a healthy
lifestyle through experiencing my own health
challenges that spanned two decades. Hormonal
imbalances, thyroid dysfunction, digestive
issues, imbalanced brain chemistry and sleep
disturbances were all part of my life. Not only
was this uncomfortable for me physically, but,
my emotional health suffered, I fought
depression, and my motivation was compromised,
as well as, my confidence. Through education and
making the necessary changes not only in my
diet, but in my lifestyle choices, I eventually
brought about the needed changes to bring by
body back into balance. I feel that the
knowledge I have gained through my journey of
recovering my own health can benefit others, and
I love sharing what transformed my life while
assisting others to do the same.
My home is nestled at the base of the
breathtaking mountains of Utah. I have four
beautiful children, one adorably fat grandbaby,
and two precocious Pomeranians. My supportive
husband is continually running to the store to
fetch an ingredient that I need for my latest
concoction in the kitchen. We have moved 10
times. Besides my passion for holistic healing,
I love Pilates, photography and videography,
gardening, reading, and playing the piano. I
have been learning the violin for the past two
years, and my husband and I play a mean "Red
River Valley." I design handbags in my sleep
which I both love and hate. I believe that the
art of fermentation can help us heal. My
clothing style is eclectic, the seasons give a
lovely cadence to my life, and it's not about
perfection, but what you do most of the time
that really matters. I believe that age is just
a number!
