Mind body health is found in simple consistent dai Mind body health is found in simple consistent daily self care commitments. We were made to move our bodies. When we don’t move - our minds and body suffer. 

I’m curious when the last time a Dr. prescribed you a daily walk? I can tell you that a Dr. has never suggested this to me, but the research shows that for many people the benefits are just as good as a prescription. When we’re struggling with depression, anxiety, or burnout, no one tells us that walking—simple, free, and powerful—can shift our mood, energy, and outlook.

Daily movement is medicine. It helps regulate your nervous system, reduce inflammation, boost dopamine, and reconnect you to your body.

Movement is one of the three pillars of health I teach my clients about—alongside nourishment and nervous system care.

I spent years feeling like I was too much. Too em I spent years feeling like I was too much.

Too emotional. Too sensitive. Too anxious.
⁠
The truth?

I was stuck in anxious attachment—constantly scanning for rejection, trying to earn love, and being hard on myself when things felt off.
⁠
What finally helped me shift wasn’t more self-discipline. Or staying away from assholes - although that did help a lot. 

It was self-compassion.

Softening the inner voice that said I had to fix something so that I could be loved or accepted.

Learning to meet my anxiety with curiosity and compassion instead of shame.
⁠
This is nervous system work.

The deep inner rewiring that starts with safety, not self-judgment.
⁠
💛 If you’ve felt stuck in anxious attachment or constantly on edge in relationships, you’re not alone—and you’re not broken.

Comment SOMATIC or DM me to learn how somatic healing and self-compassion can help you feel more secure, grounded, and connected—within yourself and with others.

Your symptoms aren’t the problem. They’re the Your symptoms aren’t the problem.

They’re the messenger.

Your body has been trying to get your attention.

Chasing symptoms with your doctor can feel exhausting and discouraging—especially when the tests are “normal,” but you still don’t feel like yourself.

Most doctors are trained to diagnose and prescribe.

But they’re not trained in:
• Gut health
• Nutrition and supplements
• Nervous system regulation
• The impact of chronic stress and trauma
• Or how real-life support helps you make changes that stick

That’s where I come in.

As a functional holistic nutritionist and mind-body health practitioner, I help bridge the gap between what your doctor says, how your body feels, and what to actually do to move the needle.

Inside the 6-week Total Mind-Body Reset, we work together to:
• Reduce inflammation and calm stress
• Support hormones, digestion, and sleep
• Rebuild energy from the inside out
• Create sustainable shifts that support long-term healing

You don’t need a full life overhaul.
You need someone who can help you listen to your body—and take action that feels clear, supported, and doable.

Let’s talk about what your body is asking for.
Book a free 30-minute Wellness Strategy Call to get clarity, connect the dots, and explore if this is the right next step for you.

It’s not just in your head. If you’re still f It’s not just in your head.

If you’re still feeling anxious, depressed, or disconnected—even after traditional talk therapy—it could be your body that needs healing.

Here are 3 root causes of mental health struggles most people overlook:

1. Inflammation
Chronic inflammation can disrupt brain chemistry, increase anxiety, and create fatigue.
Support tip: Focus on anti-inflammatory foods (like leafy greens, wild salmon, and turmeric) and reduce processed foods, alcohol, and sugar.

2. Gut Health
Your gut produces over 90% of your serotonin. When it’s out of balance, so is your mood.
Support tip: Eat fermented foods (if tolerated), fiber-rich veggies, and consider a functional stool test to get to the root.

3. Sleep & Stress
Poor sleep and chronic stress dysregulate your nervous system and keep your body in a constant state of survival.
Support tip: Create a calming evening routine, limit screen time before bed, and explore practices that help your system downshift.

Here’s the truth:
You can’t truly heal your mental health in a body that isn’t supported from the inside out.

Somatic healing supports sleep, gut health, and inflammation helping your body feel grounded, calm, and balanced again—so that real healing can begin.

Your mental health isn’t just in your head — i Your mental health isn’t just in your head — it lives in your body.

Unresolved trauma and chronic stress can get stored in the nervous system, making it hard to feel safe… and you can’t heal if you don’t feel safe.

This is where somatic healing comes in. It’s not about fixing — it’s about gently reconnecting with yourself, creating safety from the inside out.

Gut health, hormone balance, and metabolism—all Gut health, hormone balance, and metabolism—all supported in your very first bite.

Let’s do it. 

This chia-flax-berry cinnamon bowl is my go-to Build-a-Plate breakfast. It’s quick, nourishing, and checks every box:

✔️ Blood sugar balance
✔️ Gut-friendly fiber
✔️ Hormone support
✔️ Nourishing fats + probiotic boost

Here’s the recipe:
	•	2 tbsp chia seeds (soaked in hot water for 5–10 min)
	•	1 tbsp freshly ground flax (for max hormone and gut benefits)
	•	½–¾ cup unsweetened probiotic yogurt (with live cultures)
	•	1–2 cups mixed berries
	•	Sprinkle of Ceylon cinnamon
	•	Optional: 1 scoop protein powder + 1 tbsp walnuts or pumpkin seeds

Why it works:
	•	Chia + flax = omega-3s, fiber, and hormone-loving lignans
	•	Berries = antioxidants + gut-healing polyphenols
	•	Probiotic yogurt = microbiome support
	•	Ceylon cinnamon = blood sugar balance, liver-friendly
	•	Healthy fats = brain + hormone support
	•	Protein (in your coffee or added here) = metabolism + cravings control

Nutrition snapshot:
Without added protein:
~300–325 calories | ~12g protein | ~18g fiber

With protein (scoop added or in coffee):
~400–425 calories | ~25g protein | ~18g fiber

Your first meal sets the tone for you day - make it count.

It tells your body: you’re supported, nourished, and don’t need to store fat or spike cortisol.
