My Roots
It's all about family
In the journey of life, I've found that the most profound adventures often happen right at home, nestled within the simple joys of family and self-discovery.
As a devoted wife of 17 years, I've learned the beauty of partnership, where love grows stronger with each shared moment, whether it's a quiet evening at home or a spontaneous adventure.
My daughter, with her incredible artistic talents, inspires me daily. Watching her express herself through her art reminds me of the importance of nurturing creativity and individuality in our loved ones.
Life EXPERIENCES
Our lives have been enriched by living in various provinces and territories across Canada—a land of breathtaking beauty and diversity. From the majestic Rockies, to the serene east coast shores, up to the wonders of the great white north, each landscape has left an indelible mark on our hearts.
Camping under starlit skies, exploring new cultures, and spending quality time with family and friends have all contributed to a tapestry of cherished memories, shaping me into who I am today.
Enjoy all the small things life has to offer
Embracing a holistic approach to life, I've found balance through enjoying outdoor adventures, daily exercise and the joy of creating wholesome meals. Cooking and baking are not just tasks; they are expressions of love and care, offering a delicious way to support health and vitality.
During the warmer weather seasons I look forward to growing fresh vegetables and herbs in my garden, along with enjoying the beauty of fresh flowers, creating a little getaway in my own yard. This is my favorite place to unwind, reflect and just get close to nature on a personal level close to home.
In every new experience, whether through travel or simple daily routines, I strive to cultivate a space of openness, positivity, laughter and warmth—an environment where we can all be ourselves.
My Personal Journey
How I discovered the importance of holistic nutrition
For over 20 years, I thrived in the fast-paced food and beverage industry, a world filled with late nights, on-the-go meals, and an endless cycle of stress. Like many, I relied on coffee to fuel my energy, struggled to maintain any sort of routine, and watched my weight fluctuate constantly. I tried every trendy diet and the latest workout craze, hoping for a quick fix. But between long shifts, social gatherings, and the sheer exhaustion of daily life, every attempt felt like another stressor rather than a solution.
Then, my body started sending warning signs I couldn’t ignore. Persistent pain in my side, major bloating after meals, and a growing concern about my family’s history of thyroid issues and depression had me searching for answers. Medical tests labeled me as 'healthy,' and I was given the same generic advice I'd already tried—without success. I knew something was missing.
I felt lost, bouncing between internet remedies, struggling with low energy, and feeling my mental health decline. My passion for life started to fade, and I found myself slipping further into the nightlife culture, using distractions to cope rather than truly addressing my health.
That period of struggle became my wake-up call. I knew I couldn’t keep living like this. I needed to take control of my health, my well-being, and ultimately, my life. And so, I did.
Discovering holistic nutrition was like stepping into the light after years in the dark. It was the missing piece—the connection between food, stress, sleep, mindset, and the body's natural rhythms. As I started listening to my body, I began identifying foods that triggered discomfort and learning which nutrients truly nourished me. Experimenting with whole, unprocessed ingredients became a game-changer.
Over time, my digestive health improved, inflammation subsided, and the bloating that once plagued me became a rare occurrence. I naturally lost weight, regained energy, and found myself falling in love with life again. I prioritized self-care, embraced stress management techniques, meal prepping, and better sleep habits—all of which reignited my vibrant, social, and energetic spirit.
But this transformation didn’t happen overnight. It was a gradual process of learning, adjusting, and honoring my body’s needs. And it’s still evolving to this day.
True wellness isn’t about quick fixes—it’s about creating a lifestyle that feels balanced and sustainable. That’s why I believe in meeting people where they are, guiding them at a pace that feels right for them.
Because when we truly listen to our bodies, repairing and transformation become not only possible but deeply empowering.
