How I Found Real Nourishment

I’ve always loved food, but my relationship with it hasn’t always been healthy. As a teenager, I tried to manage my weight by counting calories and cutting fat. It “worked,” but it left me feeling deprived and disconnected from real health. Years later, through studying nutrition and working with farmers, I discovered that food isn’t just about calories—it’s about nourishment, quality, and how it makes you feel.

That realization changed everything. Shopping at farmers markets, cooking with fresh ingredients, and learning where my food comes from transformed my health and gave me joy in the kitchen. I know what it’s like to feel confused and stuck around food—and how freeing it feels when cooking becomes simple and nourishing. That’s why I started The Rooted Kitchen: to help other women feel confident, energized, and at home with real, whole food.

How You Can Too

I know firsthand how hard it can be to juggle work, home life, and healthy eating. For years, I worked a job that had me traveling often, and the last thing I wanted to do when I got home was cook. That’s why my coaching is designed for busy women and moms who want to eat well but feel overwhelmed, short on time, or unsure where to start.

Through The Rooted Kitchen, I use my 5-pillar Nourish Method to help you feel confident and in control of your health. We start with clear, evidence-based nutrition education so you can finally cut through the confusion and make choices that truly support your body. From there, we build in intentional planning strategies to take the stress out of meals and make the healthy choice the easy choice. Together, we focus on confident cooking skills—from knife basics to quick weeknight meals—so you can actually enjoy being in the kitchen.

We also explore mindful nourishment, slowing down to enjoy food, listen to your body, and create habits that feel good instead of restrictive. And because food is only one piece of the puzzle, we weave in joyful movement—simple, energizing activities that fit your life and keep you feeling your best. Every step of the way, we cook together, set realistic goals together, and I show you how to put it all into practice. You’ll always have accountability, encouragement, and tools designed for real life.

My approach is simple: no complicated meal plans or diets, just real, whole foods and practical strategies that make a lasting difference. By the end, you’ll feel more confident in the kitchen, more energized in your body, and more at ease around food.

If you’re ready to make food feel simple and nourishing again, I’d love to support you. Take the first step today by booking a call—I can’t wait to help you feel your best.
