My Story

I grew up in a rural Minnesota farming home, spending my free time befriending piglets and accompanying my father while he harvested. This left an indelible imprint of our connection to food, livestock health and land regeneration as global citizens.

I moved on to earn both Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Nutritional Science, while finding success in cross country and track at the Division 1 level. This is where I utilized my fascination in nutrition as a method of elevating performance, fostering an eagerness to serve others with nutritional encouragement along the way.

While working for a leading manufacturer of premier quality nutritional supplements, I absorbed insights from integrative healthcare professionals. This provided me a framework for deep understanding of the human body from a cellular level and how targeted nutrition can be vital for restoring health.

I then became a Certified Health Coach through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. This has elevated my capacity to confidently guide clients through transformative shifts in their health.

My education and lived experience have provided me a comprehensive and grounded understanding of health. I do not adhere to a one size fits all nutrition model or diet. I believe in developing a creative yet practical solution that supports vitality for each client through whole food nutrition. I feel it is my fundamental responsibility to cultivate awareness and utilize each client’s existing strengths and motivations. This is when authentic and transformative change will happen.
