Where it all started...

On a bleak morning in January, a young mom was giving birth....just kidding.

I have always loved sports, competition, and winning. I mean, who doesn't like to win? I grew up with the mentality that if I'm not great at it, why bother. It's that perfectionist spirit that lies in all of us at some point. I always wanted to be the best, but if I couldn't be the best I would be the goofiest. People would either say I was great or funny. Either way, I felt like I was winning. Having a people pleasing perfectionist personality (say that 3 times fast) was DETRIMENTAL to my young mind. Let me set the scene:

Age 10: My first memory of having a panic attack

Age 12: My first memory of looking in the mirror and hating what I saw

Age 14: A girl on my volleyball team told me my butt looked huge in spandex before a game...cue minor ED for the next 2 years

Age 14-16: Barely eating but playing volleyball and soccer and lifting weights

Age 16-18: Healing from ED, learning how to eat again

Age 18-22: Continued healing, learning how to be okay with myself, starting to binge eat

Age 23: Saw a picture of myself and was shocked at how I looked, started taking my health seriously

Age 23-24: Lost 30lbs in a healthy way (for the first time), healed from anxiety, started a good relationship with my body

Fast Forward to now...I am 31, health coach, middle school teacher, advocate of the 80/20 lifestyle, avid walker, and just wants everyone to be their healthiest version. I have always been my worst critic. I struggled with anxiety, panic attacks, ED, binge eating, and self-hatred. I know what it is like to look in the mirror and see something bigger than what is reality. I know what it's like to buy a size bigger because I might "slip". I know what it's like to starve myself, overeat, and all the guilt that comes with that.

BUT I also know what it's like to come out the other side. I know how GOOD it feels to love the body I'm in. I know how to combat bad thoughts and feelings about myself with TRUTH. I know how to take care of my body and LISTEN to what it is saying to me. I know that the journey is HARD and CONSTANT. It doesn't happen overnight. There is no "quick fix" but there is HOPE. Hope for a better life that is filled with life, love, and health.

I'M PASSIONATE ABOUT HOLISTIC HEALTH BECAUSE I KNOW IT WORKS.

This is a journey that has a new beginning everyday. It is a choice everyday to choose yourself, your health, your mind, your spirit, your body. That choice becomes a habit. That habit becomes a routine. That routine becomes a lifestyle.
