After a near-fatal car accident that resulted in a stroke, traumatic brain injury, and a dozen broken bones, I spent a long time recovering. The recovery was difficult…physically, mentally, and emotionally. With the help of physical, occupational, and speech therapy, I slowly began to rebuild my life. That experience changed everything. It not only reshaped my perspective but set me on a path I never could’ve imagined. It would eventually bring me full circle as a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant.

For over five years, I worked in hospital settings (inpatient rehab and acute care) helping patients navigate some of the most difficult seasons of their lives. I supported those recovering from strokes, TBIs, spinal cord injuries, heart disease, and more. And through it all, I began to understand something deeper: our health is never just about one thing. It’s all connected…the way we eat, move, rest, think, and relate to the world around us.

But in 2018, my own health began to unravel.

I hadn’t had a period in five years. My hair was thinning. I was exhausted every morning, constantly craving, and completely out of sync with my body. When I brought these concerns to my doctor, I was told it was “normal” and advised to “just try to stress less.”

That was my turning point.

I realized if I wanted to heal, I’d have to take ownership of my health. I dove into research, eventually working with a functional medicine doctor, and learned that a woman’s cycle is considered a fifth vital sign, a key indicator of overall health. As I peeled back the layers, I began to truly understand what my body needed. Slowly but surely, I found what worked for me. I finally felt healthy from the inside out.

And I knew I wanted to help other women do the same.

I became an ACE Certified Health Coach and Personal Trainer to empower women with the knowledge, tools, and support they need to feel better in their bodies and their lives…not just physically, but emotionally and mentally too. My work is rooted in compassion, education, and sustainability; healing shouldn’t feel overwhelming. It felt overwhelming for me, and I would love to help others through the process with less overwhelm.

I'm a Nashville native, dog mom, fitness enthusiast, and lover of the outdoors. But more than anything, I’m someone who believes that investing in yourself is worth it…and I’m here to guide you every step of the way.

Here’s what I know for sure:
You’ll never hate yourself into a version of yourself that you love.

Thanks for being here. I’m so glad our paths crossed.
