Want to know exactly what foods you should eat more of and which to avoid…FOR FREE!?

🤯What if I told you one of the best ways to understand how to nourish yourself may not be an expensive allergy panel or blood test.

Your body has an innate intelligence that is constantly communicating with you, sometimes you just need a little help in learning how to tune back into it. 🧘🏻‍♀️

🙅🏻‍♀️Food Logs may make you think of calorie counting, but that is not at all the goal.

👉🏼It is important to be accurate about the quality and quantity of the foods you are currently eating so YOU can see how they make you FEEL.

So if you’re tired of:

😡Unpredictable Headaches, Fatigue, and Mood Swings
😡Belly Aches, Bloating, Constipation, Diahherria

Food and Mood Journaling may be a wonderful tool for you!

✨When I work with clients, I ALWAYS have them complete several Food and Mood Journals on their pregnancy preparation journeys.

🏆Why don’t you join me in a 5-day Food and Mood Journaling Challenge?

Link in Bio to download your FREE Journal and Directions 👆🏼

Stay tuned this week as I will be doing a GIVEAWAY of a free Food and Journal Eval with ME on IG LIVE. 👀

Time is running out! - Intuitive Cooking School enrollment closes tonight at midnight. https://mailchi.mp/f56ff52ffce3/time-is-running-out

Times are tough right now. It feels like anxiety-provoking unprecedented events are becoming a new norm.

While there are many stressors we can't control, one huge stressor that you can overcome in 2021 is not knowing how to easily nourish your body on a daily basis!

That is why I am so excited to share with you all the primary way I have found to manage stress during difficult times.

💥Enrollment is now open for Intuitive Cooking School, the online course where I teach you to LOVE to cook in as little as six weeks!💥

Imagine how amazing it would be if you could open your fridge, and know exactly what to do to get a nourishing and delicious meal on the table in 30 minutes, without having to rely on recipes.

Cooking nourishing foods intuitively was the only way I was able to survive the most difficult period of my life, a.k.a graduating from MIT in three years.

👉🏼You’re ALWAYS going to be crazy busy.

But the sooner you learn to cook without recipes, the sooner you’ll eliminate the stress and anxiety that comes from having to feed yourself every day without the necessary skill set.

👉🏼You'll need to act fast! Enrollment closes and week 1 begins Friday, January 15th.

Shh...we’ve been keeping a secret around here!
👶🏻
We are so thankful to announce that our family of three will have a new addition this March!

“For you formed my inward parts;
you knitted me together in my mother's womb.
I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Wonderful are your works;
my soul knows it very well.” Psalm 119:13-15.
🙏🏼
I remember dreaming of being a second time pregnant mama, during my first pregnancy. I couldn’t wait to simply be able to enjoy being pregnant without the feelings of overwhelm and anxiety that a first time pregnancy brought for me!
🤦🏻‍♀️
I have truly felt that peace with this second pregnancy thanks to all I learned with my first childbearing experience and to my . This is why I am so passionate about supporting first time moms in my practice!
🤰🏻
I am so grateful for all that I have learned on this vocation called motherhood that the Lord has called me to, and I can’t wait until I can cuddle this next little one in my arms. It’s feeling like a much longer wait this time around!!

Here’s the deal.  I think most of us women have a significant amount of creative energy that needs an outlet. However, many of us work in technical male-dominated fields, which leaves us with little room for our creative feminine energy.  Is this ideal?  I mean, I would love it if girls truly ran the world, were the majority in STEM fields, and could freely exist in those fields without having to betray their feminine energy to some extent.  But, that’s not where the world is at today, and probably won't be the case for any of us in the near future.⁠⁠
But what I felt for myself and I saw in many of the women I worked and studied with at MIT, is that even if they enjoyed, and excelled in their courses, internships, or future careers, there was still something that was missing.  ⁠⁠
Intuitive cooking was able to help fill that hole for me.  ⁠⁠
Moreover, as busy successful women need to be pragmatic with the ways we pursue creativity.  There are only so many hours in the day, and ultimately, intuitive cooking allowed me to pursue creativity while still being productive, and meet one of my most basic human needs, for nourishment.⁠⁠
What I love about intuitive cooking is that I can cook for me. I don’t have to compete with anyone. There are no winners or losers, you really can’t fail. I promise it will be edible 99.9% of the time.  I can only think of one meal I have prepared in the last five years that probably should have been categorized as inedible (we still ate it).  It involved sardines that had been in the freezer for nearly a year.  A little food waste there might not have been the worst thing ever.  ⁠⁠
Intuitive cooking is one of the great joys of my life. It is my passion to share this skill with women who feel a need to express their inner creativity.  ⁠ ⁠
I want to hear from you! What are some of the ways you express your need for creative expression? 👇🏼

When I was first learning about nutrition, It was a long time before I was ready to seek professional help.  
I went so far as to go back to school to study nutrition at the , so I could truly do it all myself and be my own best advocate.  
I am so thankful for the education I received at the NTA, as it led me to have a level of understanding of my own body, and of the women I work with, that has been truly liberating.  
Ultimately, when it came to my struggle with endogenous oxalate production, I had to seek outside help.  I am so thankful that I did, as I was able to make more progress on my health in 3 months than I had in the year previously.
***My own journey is what motivated me to create the vitality membership, to give my clients more options when it comes to working with me.***  
Are you still in the DIY nutrition stage? The Glow Level is perfect for you. My resource library has everything you need to begin your health journey, including therapeutic diets, basic supplement protocols, and lifestyle tips.  In addition, you get access to my full professional supplement dispensary with an additional %15 discount.  
For those of you who a ready for more support, the Shine Level is an amazing option.  In addition to the resource library, and supplement discount, I give you access to my online courses (coming soon!), as well as one on one consultation time with me, where I analyze your symptom burden questionnaire and provide a custom supplement report. This level gives space for a bit more direction but still allows you to take the lead with your journey.  
Finally, for many of you, the enhanced level of one-on-one support provided in the Radiance Level, will be critical in achieving your health goals.  Alongside all the benefits of the Glow and Shine levels, with the Radiance Level, we have the time to dive deep and seek out the root imbalances contributing to your health challenges, and then craft the perfect targeted restorative protocol together. In addition, I provide you with unlimited email support, so you don't have any unanswered questions along the way.  
I want to hear from you! Where stage are you at on your health journey?

Good Morning Ladies!
I think it’s time for a proper introduction around here, so that’s what I’m going to do today!
I’m a wife to my darling husband, Marco, who I met my freshman fall at MIT and have been madly in love with ever since, and mamma to one 2.5-year-old (for now 😉), who’s name is also Marco (or baby, or cookie).  
In July 2015, I was born again, and my savior Jesus Christ has been the Lord of my life since then! I am so thankful for His amazing and irresistible grace. (Ephesians 2:1-10)
I studied Environmental Engineering at MIT 🤓, am a crazy knitting grandma at heart, love to drink herbal tea, and listen to Harry Potter audiobooks. I am always in the kitchen, and put cilantro on everything!
I became a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner through the last year to fulfill a calling to help women who wish to grow healthy families be free from pain and full of vital energy to enjoy their time with their babies and small children while pursuing their God-given callings.
I currently live in Phoenix, AZ, where I was born, but I grew up in Chicago and will spend hours telling anyone who will listen why Chicago is the most beautiful city in the world.  
I traded skyscrapers for mountains, with no regrets.  I will also spend hours telling anyone who will listen why Arizona is the most beautiful state in the country.
I am so thankful the Lord brought our family to Phoenix where we can go for daily morning hikes in the nature preserve behind our home, spend the weekends with our church family, out camping or off-roading in our Subaru Crosstrek, and my 2-year-old doesn’t need to learn what mittens are!
I’d love to learn more about you! Let me know in the comments below, what topic can you spend hours talking about to anyone who will listen? 👇🏼

Announcing NEW Vitality Membership 🌟 - https://mailchi.mp/df34badc7bda/announcing-new-vitality-memberships

I recently met with my nutritionist, because I just haven’t been feeling my best lately, mostly due to fatigue. (Even as an FNTP, sometimes you need to hear things from someone else to make the changes you know you need to). He told me one big thing holding me back was that I wasn’t eating ORGAN MEATS!

Thus came the inspiration for my May Series: Mastering Organ Meats

“Almost all traditional cultures prize organ meats for their ability to build reserves of strength and vitality. Organ meats are extremely rich in fat-soluble vitamins A and, as well as essential fatty acids… and the whole gamut of macro and trace minerals. Wild animals eat the organs of their kill first, thus showing wisdom superior to our own. The first solid food native African Mothers give to their babies is raw liver, which they thoughtfully chew for them.” Sally Fallon, Nourishing Traditions

I never ate organ meats growing up (except for some pate on a trip to France, which my mom was apparently shocked that I liked). I think this is common for most Americans. As a result, I struggle with all things cooking and organ meats. They smell the flavor, the texture. (All I can think of is dog food 🐶)

This is a start contrast to my husband who grew in Ecuador, regularly ate organ meats, and told me that liver is fancy.

It is a true desire in my heart to deeply enjoy eating organ meats. I’m just not there yet.

In this series, I will be sharing different recipes for both hiding organ meats as well as letting them shine on their own. I will also give ideas on where to buy organs meats in Phoenix and nationally.

Are organ meats a regular feature at your dining table? Did you eat them growing up? Do you struggle with the dog food issue?

I know many of us are spending more time sitting and sedentary than usual. I have found these exercises to be super helpful in relieving back fatigue and restoring good posture and body alignment! Even better they only take 12 minutes to complete!

Give it a try and I'd love to hear what you think!
