This is what we’re supposed to do, right? I don’t take any of it back (although I’d gladly give some of the loans back), but I knew my life was meant for much more.
After grad school, I moved to New York City to work in fashion; how glamorous (not). Almost 5 years and several career changes/life twists later, I found myself back in Rochester and where it all started: wellness. I enrolled in the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and the rest is history. (Read more about that here).​
My mom is a Doctor of Naturopathy so I was brought up and educated around wellness from a young age. Before it was “cool”, we were avoiding artificial colors, reading labels, and using herbs to heal (almost) all. #GoMom\n\n[/cs_content_seo][/cs_element_column][/cs_element_row][/cs_element_section][cs_element_section _id=”21″ ][cs_element_row _id=”22″ ][cs_element_column _id=”23″ ][cs_element_image _id=”24″ ][/cs_element_column][cs_element_column _id=”25″ ][cs_element_headline _id=”26″ ][cs_content_seo]This is my life’s work.

It’s become overused and misconstrued. I believe being healthy means wholeness. It means caring for yourself in all aspects of life: spiritually, physically, emotionally, and mentally. It means balance. Having the damn doughnut right alongside your green juice. It means listening to your body. There is no “one size fits all” formula.\n\n[/cs_content_seo][/cs_element_column][/cs_element_row][/cs_element_section][cs_element_section _id=”38″ ][cs_element_row _id=”39″ ][cs_element_column _id=”40″ ][cs_element_headline _id=”41″ ][cs_content_seo]I believe you shouldn’t have to choose between feeling/looking amazing and eating what you want. Good news– you can have both AND be incredibly happy.\n\n[/cs_content_seo][/cs_element_column][/cs_element_row][/cs_element_section][cs_element_section _id=”42″ ][cs_element_row _id=”43″ ][cs_element_column _id=”44″ ][cs_element_headline _id=”45″ ][cs_content_seo]MY THOUGHTS ON FOOD & YOU:\n\n[/cs_content_seo][cs_element_text _id=”46″ ][cs_content_seo]It’s a touchy subject for most, especially in our modern world. Should I be Vegan? Paleo? Gluten Free? Vegetarian? Pescatarian? It’s downright overwhelming. Through my personal experience, I’ve learned (and am still learning) what works for me. And guess what? It doesn’t fit into a box or label. To me, food is more than fuel, it’s one of the greatest pleasures in life.
I’m here to cut through the crap. To make living a healthful lifestyle simple, enjoyable, and fun. To make seemingly complicated ideas more digestible. To shed light on topics that aren’t part of the mainstream conversation. To provide a new perspective. I am committed to helping you live your best, most authentic life—and that starts inside.\n\n[/cs_content_seo][/cs_element_column][cs_element_column _id=”47″ ][cs_element_image _id=”48″ ][/cs_element_column][/cs_element_row][/cs_element_section][cs_element_section _id=”49″ ][cs_element_row _id=”50″ ][cs_element_column _id=”51″ ][cs_element_headline _id=”52″ ][cs_content_seo]If you’re in a toxic relationship or would rather watch paint dry instead of going to work, all of the kale on this planet isn’t going to help.\n\n[/cs_content_seo][/cs_element_column][/cs_element_row][/cs_element_section][cs_element_section _id=”53″ ][cs_element_row _id=”54″ ][cs_element_column _id=”55″ ][cs_element_headline _id=”56″ ][cs_content_seo]WHAT TO EXPECT:\n\n[/cs_content_seo][cs_element_text _id=”57″ ][cs_content_seo]Whether you’d like a bit of daily inspiration, have interest in workshops or events, or simply want to connect with a community of like-minded people– my hope is to provide a supportive and interesting space around holistic health and wellbeing. You’ll find everything from new and unique recipes, to tips on detoxifying your home, to advice on navigating the grocery store.\n\n[/cs_content_seo][/cs_element_column][/cs_element_row][/cs_element_section][/cs_content]
