A Gift to Myself – and a Gift to My Body

In early January 2025, just before turning 40, I decided to give my body a gift. Not a fancy cream or a new workout routine, but something deeper—nutrition that could give me energy, balance, and strength from within.

As a mom of two, a lover of life, and someone who enjoys Zumba, yoga, and all the fun things life has to offer, I’ve always been health-conscious. I thought I was doing everything right. But when a participant in a course I took last fall suggested I take a blood test to check my omega-3 to omega-6 balance, I was in for a surprise. The test showed I was out of balance—even though I’ve prioritized a healthy diet and active lifestyle for most of my life.

That made me think. If I, someone who has mostly been mindful of health and wellness, had an imbalance—what about everyone else?

I’m sharing this because I know so many of us want to feel our best—to have the energy to play with our kids, enjoy our workouts, and fully embrace life. Through positive psychology and coaching, I help people strengthen their mental well-being, but this is also part of the journey—nourishing ourselves from the inside out.

Our body is the one home we’ll have for life—it deserves exceptional care.
