When I was growing up, vegetables were flavored with butter or ham hocks and there was a jar of solidified bacon grease on the back of the stove. Pork chops, chicken wings, and Hamburger Helper were in regular rotation.
From this vantage point, I’ve slowly shifted my eating habits to a flexible plant based diet.
Maybe you come from a similar background, growing up on food that is highly seasoned and full of flavor. You can’t imagine living on bland salads and steamed vegetables.
I can tell you that I can’t either – thankfully healthy food can be flavorful and satisfying.
And if you wonder what you’d even eat like I did when I started on this journey, I can fill you in on how to build balanced, healthy, and delicious meals that are good and good for you.
I can also say that making the switch is 100% worth it.
Several years ago, a sunny day meant to celebrate my mom’s birthday turned into a moment of panic. After a nice lunch, my mom struggled to walk just a few feet, gasping for air. Thankfully, she was eventually able to catch her breath, but that day became a turning point in my journey.
My mom had so many health problems – high blood pressure, prediabetes, high cholesterol, and the list went on. And now, she could barely walk a few feet.
I slowly and steadily began to encourage my mom to eat more whole plant based foods, but here’s the key:
Instead of just telling her she had to change her whole diet overnight, I helped her do it one step at a time. This made all the difference.
As her health, energy, strength, and stamina improved, she was more motivated to continue.
Before I knew it, my mom was walking miles and giving me tips. I couldn’t believe it.
After this experience, my mission became clear. I wasn’t just learning how to eat well for myself. I felt called to empower others, particularly women in my community, to reclaim their health.
Over the next few years, I developed my plant based reset course – Plant Based the Easy Way.
Armed with a Biology degree and certifications in plant-based nutrition and coaching, the course blends science with personal experience, shaped by a Virginia-rooted “first generation North” mom.
But becoming a coach goes beyond my course.
My passion is helping women take back control of their health and well-being, no matter where they’re starting from or where they want to go.
Whether you’re looking to make a few small changes, need guidance with your eating habits, or want deeper accountability, my goal is to meet you where you are and help you build a plan that works for your unique life.
I believe in empowering women to make choices that nourish not only their bodies but also their confidence and sense of self.
Every woman’s journey is different, and that’s what drives me.
I want to help you create sustainable habits that work for you, so you can feel strong, energized, and fully in charge of your health – without feeling deprived or overwhelmed.
