Hello Mamas,

Thank you so much for stopping by and checking out my cozy little corner of the internet. Call it destiny if you will, but I deeply believe I was to meant to help others realize their best selves. Im a mother plantbased coach because its what I live every day. Its what I love to talk about, read and research. Everyday I'm with women just like yourself that are just exhausted, lost, or simply worried they aren't enough.

You see, motherhood came to me when I least expected it. My whole life prior to this stage was  dedicated to accomplishing my goals as a professional golfer. I reached a point in my golf career where I felt a calling to do more with my life, I deeply wanted to help others. So rather than listening to the outside voices I had to listen to my gut which told me to step away. Well, life certainly happened as I found myself preggers only five short months later. This independent woman was catapulted into the world of nursing bras, diapers, moms' groups, and a life of marriage.  Rather than feeling overjoyed about the upcoming journey, I was overwhelmed, scared, lonely, and so tired. There were no birthing classes or books that could prepare me for the wake up call of motherhood.

Through losing my self, I was able to truly see who I was without someone else telling me.

​

 And then at 8 months pregnant, my husband accepted a new job in Corpus Christi, Texas, 18 hours away from our closest friend or relative. It was a step up for my husbands career, which allowed me to stay at home with our new baby, but I didn't know anything about being a new wife let alone being home with a baby all day. I was lost. I just remember coming home from the hospital with my brand new baby and just feeling alone. I had no idea how to balance it all. My body didn't feel like my own. I just didn't know where I fit anymore.

I realized quickly that in order to simply function as a person, I needed a few things to get my act together. I needed support, so I found friends through a local mops group, La Leche League chapter, and mommy workout groups. I needed to find my own voice so I dove into research and experimented with what felt good, including attachment parenting, child and mother nutrition, breastfeeding into toddlerhood, and building a non-toxic green home.  Slowly, I found myself loving this life. I've found peace in this slower life and am enjoying the short time of my boys' childhoods.

I have to say my transformation has been gradual yet very intentional. My goal from the first time I saw my son has to become the best version of myself, because we both deserve it. I always knew I wanted to stay at home with my kids as I simply wanted to be a part of all the little moments. My current lifestyle choices have evolved as well. In the beginning of our marriage, I compromised my nutrition in different ways because I didn't want to be "difficult" or I would feel guilty thinking health food was more expensive. But I kept reading, studying, and listening to my health gurus. I applied simple tips to my life like walking and adding more plants to our meals that helped me lose my baby weight (60 and 40lbs!) but overall I have to say the main transformation has been with my attitude and well being. I never felt that I needed to lose weight to be a better person, I changed my actions from a place of love. Walking outside and drinking my green smoothies made me feel ALIVE. I felt amazing and all these good feelings simply spread to other parts of my life. I was more patient and kind to my husband and son. I found my joy and I knew I had to share it.
