Hi, I’m Kristin — so happy you’re here!

As moms, we carry the world on our shoulders. And too often, we’re left without what we need to take care of ourselves. I’m on a mission to change that. Because when moms thrive, families thrive.

It’s not selfish, it’s essential

The Mom Struggle (I’ve Been There)

“Mom…Mom…Mom…Mooooooommm!” Sound familiar?


I’m a mom of four (yes, four!) — all born within five years. Our house has seen it all: special needs, chronic illnesses, autoimmune challenges, gut struggles, mental health hurdles… you name it. And somewhere in the chaos of caring for everyone else, I lost myself.

I was tired, sore, stressed, inflamed, hormonal, and sad. I wondered what happened to the carefree, adventurous girl I used to be (and the skinny jeans she rocked).

Finding My Way Back

I’ve always loved food, but when everything I cooked seemed to make my kids sicker, I had to start from scratch. That journey led me to school, training, and certification in Nutrition Therapy — and later, Functional Nutrition. There is NOTHING like the drive of a mom trying to help her family. (Mama bears unite!)

While studying for my kids, I became my own experiment. I tried everything first before asking them to try it. And somewhere along the way, I eliminated my chronic pain, balanced my hormones, beat the fatigue, and reclaimed my resilience.

The best part? My kids are thriving. They’re not just functional — they’re breathtaking. And now, so am I. I got my mojo back.

What I Believe (and What I Want for You)

Being a mom is the highest calling and the hardest job. But we’ve got it backwards.

Mom, YOU need to come first.
Because you can’t pour from an empty cup.
You can’t serve dinner from an empty casserole dish.
You can’t run on diet coke and your kids’ leftovers.

You NEED sleep.
You NEED nourishing food.
You NEED to understand your gut, your hormones, your numbers.
You NEED to call a time-out for yourself.

And when you do, your whole family benefits.
It’s not selfish — it’s essential.

From a Kid’s Perspective

When mom feels good, she…

  • Plays with me more.

  • Isn’t on her last nerve.

  • Laughs easily.

  • Has good ideas all the time.

  • Is always there for me.

  • Brings peace into our home.

  • Shows me it’s important to care for my body too.

My Why

This is my family — my reason for everything. Without them, all of this would just be theory. Together, we’ve learned that we’re not victims of bad health, scary diagnoses, or even “bad genes.” We create our wellness. We forge our health. And it’s worth everything we’ve got.
