Are you having trouble regulating your nervous system? Or unable to relax- I mean deep - I feel burden-less kind of RELAX mode?

A dysregulated nervous system (fight or flight mode) can show up in the body like: inability to lose weight, easily frustrated/angry-literally yelling at the littlest things, poor sleep, hormone imbalance (heavy periods is not a lack of hormone and does not need more hormone pills to stop it...), migraines, body pain, poor digestion/bloating/constipation/lose stools/GERD, depression/anxiety, panic attacks/heart palpitations, infertility, low libido, sick often/sick longer than usual/sick of being sick...

There are so many things that come from a dysregulated nervous system- stuck in ‘fight or flight’ survival mode- I just can’t do this anymore mode, or whipping a dead horse mode...

If this is you, please reach out.

I am the master of untangling burnout..

I have been there so many times I have lost count.

I know what it feels like to not feel well or calm in your body, have a brain racing to one thing/then another, not feel like doing anything- ever, yelling about the littlest things, not finding much joy in life or be able to cope with life like before, looking at the cute clothes in the closet- then choosing the stretchy comfy clothes because- you know, they fit better, or hiding out at home rather than going out... the list goes on and on...

I found a secret weapon to get the nervous system to work for you and start to turn the nagging symptoms around.

Time and time again, the results never get old. Hearing how the anger dissolves, the weight melts off, the chest pain/tightness and body pain are gone, no more headaches, or bad sleep, more energy, and zest for the day...

Which category are you in? Are you ready to be free of the symptoms?

Give me a :( below if you are struggling... it is time to turn this around!

What is your rest & repair activity today and this week?
My old self would have pushed through- felt the tiredness and kept going… this is how I ended up in burnout time and time again. I heard my body say rest- but my patterns of needing to achieve- prove myself- keep everyone happy drove me to exhaustion- time and time again.
Part of me being me is learning when to rest and letting myself be in the activities that restore my energy❤️.

This smile is a bit bigger today.

The sun is shining, the sunset this morning took my breath away, the kids are happy and healthy, the dog got a long walk, I moved my body joyfully, my energy was busting through the tasks of the day, my heart full of gratitude for getting to serve each day doing what I love❤️

I spent many years in the rut of wondering why I kept getting what I didn’t want- struggle, stress, overwhelm, stomach issues, anxiety, skin issues, hormone issues… the cycle kept going no matter how many supplements I took or lab results I got - looking for one root cause after another…

You see, I love functional medicine, I love getting to the root of what is going on, and I love combing it all into a simplified plan to expedite results.

Who knew that was my super power????

Because when you figure out you actually know more than you think you know, you realize that you know your body better than anyone, and you can learn what it is trying to say and what to do about it to help it feel and look it’s best…. Well…

That could lead you down a new road… one that is pretty cool, where you start to figure yourself out, and start to look forward to the day, with vibrant energy and confidence that you know what you need and how to get it!!

It may have taken me many years to get here, many up’s and downs, lots of tears, perseverance, and commitment to keep at it even when it felt hard- uncomfortable- unpredictable- uncertain- weird and scary…. Pushing through to see what could be on the other side of all…

If you are just plain tired and overwhelmed with where to start… then it would be a great time to try something new, because who knows, maybe you can get through it too and wake up feeling so blessed, energized, and excited for the day in a body that feels and looks its best!!!❤️

Ever looked in the mirror and felt like you just didn't recognize the person staring back at you?

Feel ashamed to hang out with your friends or go to your kids' games for fear someone might ask you if you are pregnant... again:(

Are tired of making up excuses for cancelling plans (again), because you just don't feel like being seen in public...

It's time to shed the weight of stress (literally and figuratively!) with trying something new!

You're not alone in your journey—and there is more that could be going on that you might not be aware of that is keeping the extra pounds around.

It is time to put an end to canceling plans and start to love what you see in the mirror. And stop the wake up work out/kill yourself at the gym- eat less... don't lose weight cycle!!!!!!

Let's begin a transformation that honors where you are and gets you where you want to be—medication-free and rocking those favorite clothes! 🌟👗

Give me a 💜 below if you want an invite to our next free webinar that will uncover the root cause of why you can’t lose weight!!

Send me a DM if you want a discovery call. I want to hear from you⭐️

Ever feel like your body's stuck in a never-ending loop of ALERT MODE? 🚨

Just like that one friend who can't stop binge-watching netflix until 3 AM (We all know one, right?). Or the other one who keeps complaining to you about their weight... no matter what she does, it doesn't budge!

Well, it might be your body crying out from stress!

The racing brain filled with all kinds of worry/doubt/fear, the bellyache/constipation, the insomnia, craving cookies/chips/sugar (yup, eating at odd hours), and looking in the mirror and wondering what the heck happened are shouting: 'Help!'

It's doesn't need to be this dramatic, but your health is important. You are important. You feeling healthy is important. I want to hear from you! I want to hear what you have tried and what isn't working. I might have a great solution or know someone who can help!

A discovery call can steer you back to the inner Zen Town, where rest and repair become your new BFF.

Send me a DM and together we can start undoing that stress knot!

Love this!

Building a healthier you doesn’t have to be expensive or a long drawn out process.

I’ve been working on my health for a very long time and have figured out that after pouring thousands of dollars into functional lab testing, supplement protocols and being seen by multiple specialists for even more testing…

That many of the things that have made a significant difference in my healing journey are actually free.

At the top of the list are: learning the unique language of my body… getting out of stress so that I can be present to what my body is saying… and choosing to give my body what it is asking for.

You see, we all have a body that is trying to communicate with us. It is our vehicle to keep us in the moment and carry us around- we get to take care of it so it works well!!!

When you learn how to care for the body so it works well this requires not only listening to it, but choosing a healthier skillset to bring down stress/inflammation.

A health skillset that works to bring down stress/inflammation (literally at the root cause of most symptoms) includes:
how to breathe right, think right, detox right, eat right, eliminate right, hydrate right, sleep right, and move right for you beautifully made body.

You see, health and wellbeing is a reflection of how well we are addressing our internal environment. Read the rest in comments! ⬇️.

You see, health and wellbeing is a reflection of how well we are addressing our internal environment.

When it gets bogged down by toxins, toxic emotions (anger, grief, fear, doubt, shame), viruses, heavy metals, trauma… our inner environment gets disconnected from what truly matters in life.

You stop trusting yourself, you don’t know who you really are, you feel scared to let yourself really be seen or heard…

It is learning how to do these things that has helped my health in more ways than I ever could have imagined.

You are here to live a healthy, abundant purposeful life. You must learn a healthy skill set that honors your body so that the cells communicate well and work in your favor.

Start 2024 by putting yourself first. Especially if you are a mom, caregiver, stressed out woman who wants something different. Everyone wins when your internal environment is working for you and your health first priority instead of the last priority.

My ‘why’… it was not that long ago I was sitting feeling very disempowered during the pandemic when my kids were home alone while I worked full time in a health care system that was putting in extra hours to treat those very ill with the virus.

It took a pandemic for me to face my fears and go after my dream, of helping people from the comfort of my own home, by treating the root cause and create a new health and well-being.

I could not bear the thought of my kids going through another derecho without me there… they were terrified and I was at work.

My health was not where I wanted it to be, and the continual stress of going to work and not following my heart - which was causing a lot of overwhelm…

Fast forward 2.5 years- I work from home with the freedom to care for myself, family, and clients in a way that is nurturing and sustainable.

My health is getting better and better!! No more food alllergies, digestive issues, asthma, sinus congestion, depression, stomach pain, rashes, headaches, joint pain, EOE (esinophilic esophagitis), anemia, hormone imbalance or fatigue…

Yes, it has taken a lot to get here…however I have learned so much along the and have learned some short cuts I would have loved to know in the process…

If you are struggling with your health… and want something different for 2024… the time is now!!
