About Me
I believe women in midlife deserve so much more than being told to accept feeling tired, foggy, inflamed, uncomfortable in their body, or unlike themselves.
Too many women reach this stage of life feeling discouraged by the changes happening to their body and begin to believe their best years are behind them. I do not believe that for a second.
I believe midlife can be a turning point. A time to reconnect with yourself, understand your body in a deeper way, and create a life that feels strong, vibrant, grounded, and truly yours.
I'm a Holistic Nutritionist (RHNP), Health Coach (RHNC), and Integrative Wellness Practitioner based in Maple Ridge, BC., and for more than 20 years, I've helped thousands of women regain their health through personalized, holistic strategies that address the root causes of imbalances. I absolutely LOVE what I do, and every single one of you I get to know along the way.
In addition to my private practice, I am the Educational Director for the NutraPhoria School of Holistic Nutrition, home of the popular Holistic Nutrition Coach Certification Program and Holistic Nutritionist diploma program, attracting thousands of students each year from all over the world.

Beyond the Credentials
The credentials, education, and knowing how to help is only half of it; living through it myself is the other half. I am, at this very moment, making my way through midlife right where you are, and I care deeply about showing other women that this season of life is NOT about some kind of inevitable, decrepit decline, as we have been misled to believe.
For a very brief moment in time, I unexpectedly felt myself slipping into the "I guess this is just how it is now" box they put women into once we hit 45. As though it is time to just go off to pasture. I said f-that, and was determined to make this stage of my life about strength, clarity, energy, confidence, and possibility.
I am not sure what I would have done if I didn't have the knowledge I do, because the emotional and physical changes women go through in this stage of life is not for the faint of heart! This is part of why I love my job so much: I get to share this information with women just like you.
A Few Personal Fun Facts:
There is a freedom as we age that changes everything that once held us back, but you have to know it is there to grab on to.

A Few Personal Fun Facts:
- I am a mom and a wife. I have four amazing children, having had my first at just 19. My oldest is now 34, and my youngest just turned 18. Family means everything to me.
- I have four dogs and two cats - all of which I am terribly allergic to, but that's a price I am willing to pay for my fur babies.
- A few years ago, at 48, I did something I always wanted to do, but never had the guts to do: I got my motorcycle license and bought my first Harley. Now, of course, I have two! It gives me something exciting to look forward to each spring.

My Journey Into Holistic Health
I entered the alternative health & wellness field over two decades ago, and have had a successful private practice for 20 years, but before that I admittedly was lost and utterly clueless when it came to food and health in general. I struggled with food issues, health issues, trauma, and weight for years.
I became increasingly determined to find the answer and to reconnect my mind/body/spirit.
The conventional health care system was incredibly frustrating, and I found myself seeking alternative options.
To my surprise at the time, the holistic health industry had the answers I was looking for. Back then, it wasn't as mainstream as it is now. It required me to reject the widely accepted, misleading notion that health is simply a combination of symptoms and treatments, and embrace the idea that our bodies have the innate ability to heal. Given the right tools and support, of course. Once I went down that rabbit hole, there was no going back.
Holistic-focused living is a path to health that prioritizes balance, empowerment, and true healing.
