After spending over two decades of my life playing hockey, I recently turned my attention to finding a more sustainable way of living that left my body feeling nourished instead of depleted. I trained for years in ways that were causing long-term harm, and I couldn't even see the warning signs that my body was asking for help.  

 

I grew up an elite athlete, playing college and professional ice hockey.  Despite being in great athletic shape, for years, I experienced fainting spells that made simple tasks like driving or showering dangerous. I would faint at the most unpredictable times and even became the youngest patient in my cardiologist's office. But even after years of unpleasant tests and experimental treatments, my doctors were left with a big question mark. So I decided to take things into my own hands and figure out a way to alleviate some of my symptoms.  When I discovered integrative nutrition, something clicked for me.  My fainting, my debilitating anxiety, the fact that I was chronically underweight - it finally felt like it all made sense together. And the way to fix all of my health issues was to address them as one whole, instead of a collection of unrelated symptoms.

​

Always passionate about helping others on their wellness journey, my career began as personal training and quickly morphed into a passion for nutrition and functional medicine. I began studying health coaching in 2020 and became engulfed in the idea that nutrition is healthcare.  After completing my Masters of Science in Nutrition and Integrative Health and my Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Cannabis Science: Therapeutics, Product Design, and Quality Assurance, I became a National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC).  At each step of my educational journey, I implemented what I was learning in my own health journey.  With my healing came answers and clarity, but also confidence.  My diagnosis became the catalyst to learn how to use cannabis safely and effectively to manage my symptoms, and it all became a full-circle moment for me.  I don't believe that what worked for me will be what works for you because I had to find my own solutions, but the good news is that I can help you find yours.  I have spent years cultivating a safe space for clients to explore the depths of their own health and wellness to find solutions that work for them, not some cookie-cutter protocol given to them as a handout.  My passion for functional health runs deep, and it is my hope that I can share that passion with you.
