I began writing the Nurturing Legacy Blog a few years ago out of a desire to encourage other moms to find peace in their parenting. Since then, I have finished schooling to become a Nutritional Therapist and then I went through my Yoga Teacher Training. Now I am incorporating all of those passions here. I hope to help people find relief for their anxieties through mindfulness practices. 

I've personally dealt with anxiety, depression, and eating disorders. I've dealt with thyroid disease, food allergies, severe adrenal fatigue, and I was eventually diagnosed with Celiac Disease. All of these influence my writing. I know what it feels like to think your body has failed you. I was dealing with so many levels of autoimmune disease, and felt trapped. I wanted to help people recover from disordered eating, but in the process of launching my Nutritional Therapy Business, I ended up backing myself into a corner. People weren't interested in the therapy side of things. So, in an attempt to keep my business afloat, I ended up having to offer weight loss challenges. It worked. My business was thriving. My clients were thriving. They were losing weight and feeling great. But. I wasn't. I put pressure on myself to also look great. I felt like I needed to be my "business card". I was doing all of the right things. I was doing the same things my clients were doing, but my extra weight would not budge. This resulted in me going back to disordered eating habits and ultimately closing my business. It was too much pressure. I hated to leave my clients and my business, but I had to do what was best for my own health. 

I saw a nutritional therapist for myself. Then I found yoga. I knew from the moment I walked in the doors of the yoga studio that I would never be the same again. Yoga was such an integral part of my own healing. I eventually became an instructor. Now, twice a week, I get to share my love for yoga with others. That feels pretty incredible. 

I hope to guide anyone who comes to my site to their own path of healing. I hope people leave my site feeling encouraged and confident in themselves. I hope to help people find a love for themselves. I want that to be my "legacy".
