The garden is good for the body and soul!
My trusty companion, Sprout the Goldendoodle!
Nourished Health Co. started as a passion project over a decade ago. Through my own health challenges, I discovered the amazing benefits of focusing on a real food diet. Working with a naturopathic doctor, I started supplementing what I was deficient in, while replacing problematic foods with more nutrient-dense, wholesome options. I noticed an improvement within weeks! This was only the beginning of my journey. Through the years, I have integrated a variety of evidence-based practices into my own life to cultivate energy and vitality, while improving my capacity to deal with daily stressors.
Despite the significant impact my food choices made, I quickly learned it's not just about the food! Managing stress and good sleep hygiene are so underrated. New life phases (peri-menopause and menopause) require new tools and systems. Moving your body and maintaining muscle as you age is paramount! Chronic illness or a new diagnosis may require drastic and immediate changes to your diet that can feel overwhelming. I know what it feels like to be discouraged and not even know where to begin. Making big lifestyle changes can be incredibly challenging without guidance and support.
In 2020 I completed my training with the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN) becoming a Certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach. My training and experience has equipped me with the tools and knowledge required to assist women who are ready to reclaim their health through bio-individual nutrition and holistic lifestyle shifts.
After years of informally supporting friends, family and acquaintences through their own health challenges, it is finally time to launch my practice. I am excited to invite you to step out of your discomfort and suffering and discover the healing capabilities within your own body. I'd love to be a part of your wellness team!
