my story

I have been a photographer for the past 10 years and for me it has always been about loving people and making timeless memories they could have for a lifetime. Wellness came in for me during 2019 my health plummeted.

Years of disordered eating, over exercising, built up trauma, burning out to keep my mind distracted, eating the standard American diet, self hatred - my body just tapped. I started experiencing every symptom from chronic fatigue, to acne, to painful bloating and other gut symptoms, I knew something had to change.

I began with my mind - working through trauma, processing old wounds, forgiving, releasing repressed emotions, and already I was seeing my symptoms begin to dissipate as I started reconnecting back to my body because for the first time in decades, I felt safe enough to be inside my own body and mind.

Then I began prioritizing the foundations of health - Nutrition, stress, movement, sleep, social life, blood sugar, hydration, sunlight and grounding; I began to fall in love with taking care of my body. I got certified in integrative health and learned all about herbs to support my health, incorporating them in as well as doing a complete overhaul on my life and learning to live with healthy rhythms instead of disconnection. When I fed my body with these basic practices, careful attention, and intentional commitment, I began to watch it do what it does best — heal.

Through all of this, I realized it isn’t just about nutrition, or working out, or therapy — the body is one, and they all must be addressed and come together in harmony for the body to truly be optimal, and that is what I desire so deeply to help others do; reconnect the mind, body, and spirit to help their bodies heal so they can live this life abundantly.
