Finding my balance

My Journey

Weight-loss has always been a struggle for me. I have been studying weight-loss for over 20 years, trying to find my right balance. I tried many different diets which worked for the short term, I would always gain my weight back.

I quit smoking in 2007 and my new habit became healthy cookbooks and experimenting with healthy cooking. I have 100’s of cookbooks and I have read them all from front to back. Healthy cooking became my new passion. In 2014, after years of research and trial and error I finally found my perfect healthy lifestyle balance.

I came to realize that my health was not only what I was eating it also had to do with my life. I was in a very toxic relationship with an alcoholic for 18 years, and I also was consuming more alcohol then I would like to admit. This too had to change in order for me to be my optimal self.

Through a lot of self study and self discovery, I ended my toxic relationship, quit drinking and then my health was on a whole new level. I have kept my weight off for nearly 10 years and not once have I counted a calorie, I eat more now than I ever have and I am never hungry. My life is full of joy and zero shame or regret. I cook the most delicious and nutritious food ever!

I became very passionate about sharing my experiences with others to help them achieve a healthy vibrant life. I knew if I could do it, ANYONE can.

I decided to take my learning to the next level and I studied at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition where I am now a certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach and I am also a Certified Gut Health Specialist. If you want to take all the guess work out of healthy eating and living I am your go to “Health Guru.”
