I'm a proud empath, ambivert, and highly sensitive person, navigating the challenging journey of motherhood with three teenagers and a lively toddler. My kiddos aren't just my world; they're also my inspiration for personal growth and excellence in life. My passion for health and healing took root during my postgraduate studies and blossomed as I delved into the fascinating connection between the mind, suppressed emotions, and trauma on our health & well-being.

Armed with a master's degree in Food and Nutrition, I've always been on the lookout for ways to blend academic knowledge with practical applications, seeking

natural & holistic approaches to health and well-being for myself, my family as well as my clients. However, life took an unexpected turn after the birth of my fourth child, leading to a significant decline in my energy levels. Balancing family, household responsibilities, and my own health became quite the juggling act, especially during the 2020 pandemic when we relocated continents with a baby and three older kids.

Amidst the chaos, I found myself battling postpartum depression, recurring infections, gut issues, and even a diagnosis of Lichen Planus—an inflammatory autoimmune condition. Despite doctors deeming my blood work normal, I persisted in my quest for answers to my unexplained fatigue, vulnerability to infections, and weakening immunity.

Consulting various practitioners and undergoing inadequate mental health therapy took its toll on my health, and I felt disheartened by the lack of a holistic approach from the medical professionals. The pandemic also strained my marriage, pushing us all to our limits during quarantine. Realizing the urgent need for change, I decided to take matters into my own hands to find answers and regain my diminishing health.

My journey led me to Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA), a game-changer that revealed extreme adrenal burnout, copper toxicity, a 4 low pattern, and a calcium shell—an indicator of trauma and suppressed emotions. Astonished by HTMA's precise explanation of my symptoms, I embarked on the journey to become a holistic HTMA practitioner ( from the lens of Psychoneuroimmunology) myself. This certification not only offered insights into the biochemical and bioenergetic imbalances in my own conditions but also uncovered the mental and emotional drivers of my struggles. Having this certification in my repertoire equipped me with targeted tools to address and heal many chronic health conditions and their root causes.

Now, after becoming a trauma informed holistic health and transformational coach , I'm on a mission. I wholeheartedly believe in the transformative potential of diet, lifestyle, and mindset on one's life. My personal journey through trauma healing and mineral balancing provided the crucial missing piece in my health puzzle, driving me to share this oft overlooked yet vital component with others.

Through my platform, Nourished and Nurtured Roots, I'm dedicated to supporting not just myself and my family but also countless clients who continue to hop from practitioner to practitioner without finding much success in their physical and mental health condition . I'm passionate about helping individuals reclaim the power of their mental and physical health in one place. My core mission revolves around fostering a healthy lifestyle rooted in trauma-releasing healing. I'm committed to empowering my clients on their unique journeys through mindful food choices and transformative lifestyle adjustments.

I firmly believe that knowledge is an awakening within oneself, and the body possesses an innate ability to heal, provided the right conditions are created. I'm here to illuminate that path and support you every step of the way. Let's nourish our bodies nurture our minds and feed our souls!
