Since there are so many new babes joining me on here, I wanted to do a little refresher! ❣️❣️
Here are some things you might not know about me...
Throughout high school I struggled with dieting and starve/binge disordered eating. It took me a few years but I eventually learned how to truly love and support my body. ❤️ When I turned 18, I began skating professionally and finally decided to take control of my nutrition and hormone health after getting periods for SIX WEEKS LONG. 🤯 There was a period in life where I would gain weight like crazy and my arms and face were constantly breaking out. I was exhausted, bloated, and had constant brain fog, migraines and mood swings. I didn’t know what was wrong with me, but I knew it was NOT normal. 🙅🏻♀️
After years of seeing doctors, specialists, trainers and nutritionists, while doing my own research on the side, I realized I was dealing with hypothyroidism, a co-condition of estrogen dominance. At one point I even tried taking birth control which only worsened my symptoms.
Fast forward, this spark of passion for health influenced my decision to become a nutritionist specializing in women with hormone and gut issues. I’ve spent the past decade studying health - personally applying what I’ve learned to my own life and teaching others how to stop hormonal chaos and have better periods with clients all across the world.
I want this to be an educational and empowering space for you to learn about your body, find comfort in it, understand your hormones, PMS, blood sugar regulation, phase based training and all things holistic health related. We love science and tend to get a little woo woo to pull it all together.
I only work with a handful of women 1:1 every few months, but in the mean time I offer free masterclasses about your hormones and I have a free course you can sign up for via with additional tracking resources for you to learn more about your cycle.
📍Home is currently Toronto for myself and puppy boy; Ace 🐶. Today, I'm on a NEW level of gratitude and am ever grateful for this life. ☺️
Follow me and let’s talk periods 🩸😘

POV How it started:
🩸 You switched up your diet and supplements.
🩸 You’ve thrown so much money at health foods, doctor’s visits, and tests. With nothing to show for it.
🩸 You go to Dr Google to connect the dots but still feel like you're in the dark.
🩸 You question “how bad will my period be this month?,” “will I even have a period this month?,” and “maybe I should cancel that girls’ weekend just in case?.”
🩸 You’ve made it through this month’s period in one piece, already dreading next month.
🩸 The pain and struggle is “normal.
🩸 Needing medication and time off is “normal.”
V.S How it’s going:

✨ You have the power to bring about big change for yourself and begin a new chapter in your period story
✨ You no longer live in fear that you’ll be dealing with hellish symptoms forever.
✨ You should be able to feel your uterus in action with some slight sensations or warm feelings, but there should not be any kind of pain that might have you reaching for drugs or hot water bottles.
✨ Rather than PMS, you notice an increase in upbeat, social energy towards the middle of your cycle, and then, in the second half of your cycle, a more focused, determined energy to get things accomplished.
✨ You don’t suffer just because your female
✨ You’re symptom free
