ABOUT ME

My passion for preconception nutrition stems from years of working on myself to achieve optimal health. I knew I wanted kids one day, and that framed a lot of my motivation to feel my best in my body before then. A lot of the time, it is a visible condition that makes us look inward. For me, that was hormonal acne and being bloated after everything I ate, plus experiencing painful periods every month. Working with a practitioner myself helped me connect the dots of what was going on on the outside was correlating with what was going on on the inside. I worked on supporting my liver, digestion, gut, and hormones to get me to a place where I felt actually good for the first time in years. This sparked my desire to learn more, and I made the decision to go to school to become a Certified Nutritional Practitioner.

When my husband and I decided to start trying to get pregnant, we were surprised when we got pregnant on our first try! We were so excited to be pregnant, and it felt like all the preparation we did beforehand paid off. When I went in for my 11-week ultrasound, we were shocked and devastated to find that the baby didn’t have a heartbeat anymore. I shortly miscarried after, but was left riding the waves of grief and slowly letting go of the expectations I had for welcoming a baby into the world.

If you have gone through this pain and devastation, my heart goes out to you. Experiencing a miscarriage firsthand had me dive deeper into common causes of miscarriages, and with that, I can offer insight and hope when it can feel lonely and confusing.

I know my rainbow baby will come one day, and if you’ve experienced loss, I know yours will come too.
