Why I do what I do

I work with womxn to help them understand how to honor their innate biological systems, hormones, and energetic capacity for better health, well-being, and fertility.

For a LOOOONG time, I operated in the hustle mindset. If I wasn’t doing, achieving, or pushing, what was my actual worth? As a type-a, go-getting, high achiever, I had such a hard time saying no, plus a touch of perfectionism.

I experienced brain fog so bad I could barely follow a conversation, heavy periods and PMDD that left me on the couch for a week and a half each month, and chronic fatigue that took the joy out of every activity. I was doing everything I felt was expected of me; all it did was make me feel like shit - mentally, spiritually & physically. I was completely burned out. And the real kicker was that the only recommended remedy for me at that time was birth control and antidepressants.

Now I’m not going to knock science or medication. However, I knew my issues were deeper and wanted to find the root. My healing was about getting in touch with myself again. It was about rebuilding my relationship with my body and my relationship with my world.

Burnout isn’t just in your head. Society teaches us to rely on our productivity to feel worthy of taking up space. Yet, burnout is inevitable when we continually push past our breaking point in search of external validation. It’s a losing battle. When chronic, long-term stress isn’t processed, it impacts how your brain talks to all the other pathways in your body.

This impacts your energy, fertility, metabolism, and mood. It impacts your ability to make mindful decisions about how you want to show up in the world. The only way to win is to reject the systems and beliefs that keep you on the hamster wheel.

Realizing this changed everything for me personally and professionally. I vowed to 1) never put my job before my health and 2) dedicate my practice to helping womxn put their health and well-being first, too.
