My Story

“It’s pretty simple once you decide to do it.'‘ affirming words from the mouth of one of my friends and co-worker so many years ago. We were discussing the challenge everyone faces of putting yourself first. This has been a lifelong battle for me that didn’t truly start to happen until I was in my mid 30’s. Repeating old broken habits kept me in the same cycle of head garbage for many years.

That all changed one day when I decided I would no longer accept toxic people, behavior or situations in my life. I always thought I was helping others when they needed it; when in fact they were just sucking me dry emotionally, financially & spiritually. I had hit a point where I could no longer justify my behavior and never looked back. This decision made a big impact on the trajectory of my life. I started to see things differently and carve out little moments of time for myself envisioning helping people in a different way; on my terms and with an actual lasting impact.

I started to notice how much better I felt. This new found love for myself led to me eating better, craving exercise and making smarter decisions for me and my health. It even poured over into my career and I made a huge jump into healthcare administration. This was satisfying and I felt accomplished in the lives myself and my team were impacting. As I continued swinging my invisible machete, chopping the negativity from my world, limb by limb, I began to feel lighter. I began to feel taller and stronger. I felt like a bad ass warrior! I was actually successfully slowing down, releasing old baggage and replacing that with shiny new limbs of growth.

DōTERRA entered my life around this time. I attended a class one evening and loved the experience. I became a Wellness Advocate that night. I fell in love with the product and their humanitarian efforts all over the world. I have used their products ever since and have experienced such a positive impact on my mental and physical health. My partner and I began to get more serious about having a family around this time. It was on the horizon for many years but just never quite came to fruition. Over the next several years I started working to decrease our toxic load. Over time this made a huge impact on my health. I felt the best I had ever felt in my adult life. It eventually became the springboard for our conception.

In the beginning of 2018 I made a gutsy decision to set off to Europe for 2 weeks and during this time earn certification in Barcelona to teach The Yoga Trapeze. I was elated after this accomplishment! I continued on from Spain to Italy and France. The photo above is one of my last days on this trip. It was really eye opening and felt so satisfying that I had proven to myself that I could do anything I set my mind to. Once home I continued to manage my facility, teach The Yoga Trapeze and share DōTERRA essential oils where I could for a couple of years.

Jump forward to 2019 and I became pregnant! My partner and I could not have been happier! After the birth of my daughter I paused my career in the Long Term Care industry. I furthered my education a bit and obtained my certification as a Breath Coach. This is exciting and another great tool to add to my wellness offerings! Today I am 44, a new mother, and still slaying away at the head garbage. Getting to this point has not been easy but once I decided to put myself first and refused any other option it did make it simpler. I just look for the tools that work in helping me along the way. This site is a collection of those things for me to share with you and my new strong warrior daughter someday.
