Here's my story
"I want to help people."
Most that get into a health serving profession, have that or a very similar thought or drive, but most... get lost along the way. They give up, they forget... and they settle; to get by, to get the paycheck, to get through it, until they can retire.
I was there too. Ready to quit. Ready to give up. Searching for my way out. But ultimately I knew that there had to be a better way.
My revelation: Superficial approaches and treating of symptoms without digging deeper makes and keeps people sick!!
Then came my own health issues, the worst of which was the worsening gut issues that started as a lifelong dairy intolerance, then what I thought was a gluten intolerance, followed by an anything I eat intolerance, and alas, no explanation from mainstream approaches except more pills!
Enough was enough and I was done living and providing care this way!
Long story short, through a systematic approach to fitness/nutrition plus a functional medicine and root cause, cellular approach to remove toxins, rebalance, and heal the gut and the body, I found a path to my own wellness, and in the process found new hope, a better way, the literal future of true and actual health care!
I'm on a mission...
to provide my services and this approach to as many people as possible. It is like looking at your body through a whole new lens, and literally everyone needs this.Β

Being trained in an intricate system of bandaids and surface level tactics, but knowing there had to be a better way, in the voice of Ross from Friends, the only choice left was to PIVOT... and PIVOT again... and PIVOT again!! Here are a few of my certifications and endeavors also known as pivots!

A little more about me...
I am married to my high school sweetheart and we have three (now grown) kids. The wild ride of being the first generation of parents to raise kids on all the digital things, was the original inspiration for my podcast, which you can find on all podcast apps (The Be THAT Mom Movement Podcast)
I also have two cute poodle pups that love to swim (check out my stories on my main instagram account and you'll likely catch a video of her swimming).
While already on a path for prioritizing my own wellness, the events of 2020 and 2021 brought me to the brink of choosing between my livelihood and bowing down to an employer mandating my health choices, but it was then that enough red flags went off for me, that I realized I was just done with this broken sick care system!
In the midst of all of that, I pivoted with new certifications, launched a podcast, met lots of like-minded colleagues that I can call mentors AND friends, founded Align Your Life Wellness, and am now launching a gut and cellular detox program and a metabolic program!
It was a wild crazy few years, but if you know me long enough, you'll likely hear me say this: Today's struggle is tomorrow's strength! This has been so VERY true in my life!Β Β

Health Freedom...
is about being able to choose your path for health decisions, free of coercion or force, but is also much more than that. Health freedom lies in learning to embody the innate wisdom that our bodies are not a mistake, they are not broken, and if given the support needed without interference, the body will function optimally and quite vibrantly. Functional & root cause health IS the future of true "health" care!!Β
