To Change your Life, Change your Habits

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here. Are you ready to change your life? As your prospective health and wellness coach, my job will be to help you improve your quality of life by showing you how to change your habits. Not only do we want easy solutions when things come up, but we can also be proactive about our health and mindset so that we are happier and healthier.

As moms and women, we are constantly spinning all those plates. If you could take control back of your mindset and health- how would that change your life? I know it can seem like its impossible at times and maybe you just don't even know where to start. Which is why I'm here to show you how to balance the chaos, even on a busy schedule.

This is the perfect spot for busy women and families just like yours, who want to change their circumstances, while joining a community of likeminded women. I’m here to show you the simplest ways to reduce overwhelm while improving your self care and self love. I'll also share simple hacks, tools and habits for getting unstuck with your health, your weight, your skin and more.

Over the last decade, I owned an organic skincare business. Over the years, I've learned that women just want something simple that works and we often over pay for the word natural. Which is why I recently switched this business to Essentially Do It Yourself. I show you how really simple, effective and affordable it can be to have absolutely amazing skin using products you likely already have in your cabinets.

I was looking for a way to help my son:

How did my journey into wanting something more start? My disabled son was my WHY. It’s hard to fully capture what these tools and habits can do for you without first helping you take a glimpse into our families journey.

My son Roger was a miracle, entering the world weighing 1lb at 24 weeks. But due to the trauma of his birth and prematurity, he struggles with a variety of physical and mental ailments. Roger also has autism, which blesses him with many gifts, but it also causes him to struggle; managing over stimulation and controlling his emotions especially sadness and anger. This used to lead to extensive daily physical and mental breakdowns. These breakdowns left our house in turmoil, not only for Roger but also us as parents. We felt hopeless and powerless- 2 things that no parent wants to ever feel.

Nothing we were doing was working anymore if I'm honest and when he became suicidal and we were facing placement options for him at the young age of 12, I knew I had to make a change. I decided to give some natural options a try- that night my son went from full rage to calm within minutes and that was the beginning of the end for our families turmoil. From there we started changing up our habits, some of our routines, adding in more natural options and our lives were literally never the same.

Years later, I can truly say Roger is happy and healthy. He has graduated from HS, enjoys equine, volunteers at a local horse stable and owns his own residential mowing and plowing business. Will he ever drive or live on his own, I doubt it. But most importantly, he's no longer powerless over his emotions, he no longer hurts himself or has daily intensive breakdowns. The gift of empowering our children is the best thing we can ever offer to them and through these options, I've been able to offer Roger real control over his life, while helping hundreds of kids and families, just like ours do the same.

as an overwhelmed mom, I was falling apart:

For years, I was skeptical, when people would mentioned anything natural. I felt like I didn't have the time to learn something new and that it would be too hard, but I was wrong. That all changed when I got the point where I would do anything, try anything to help our family. We just couldn’t keep doing what we had always done. Trusting my coach, was the best decision I ever made- not only for my son, but for our entire family. I cannot even put into words the depth of my fear of where we would be today, if I hadn't decided to make a few simple changes and invest in our health and happiness.

As I had watched my son spiral in every way imaginable over the years, I held it together on the outside, but inside my personal quality of life, self care and mindset was devastating. I poured into anything and everyone but myself- does that sound familiar? Once I felt like I had Roger stable, I decided it was time to focus on me- something us moms don’t do often. I began by making small changes each day; focusing on an easy to follow plan to help manage my own overwhelm, hormones and happiness. I started trying different things for my mindset until I found what worked for me. Once I committed to my health and to myself, things changed drastically. I even stopped my rollercoaster relationship with food and emotional eating. I took control of my life again, no longer feeling like a puppet to all the external circumstances that I couldn't control.

The beautiful thing is this whole process has even given me time freedom, flexibility and financial stability. I was able to quit my corporate "9-5 job" and retire before the age of 40, all amongst the chaos of 2020. This allowed me to also be home with my son, who needed me the most.

Best of yet, I've watched this same physical, mental and financial transition take place for hundreds of women and moms in my group, over the last few years. Nothing will make your life perfect, but these tools and habits will change your life in ways you never even knew possible. The only thing you're gonna wish, is that you had tried sooner, so don't put it off any longer- you deserve it, you're worth it!
