For most of my life, I’ve been deeply passionate about health and wellness, not only for myself but for others, especially women. I’ve always loved connecting with women and helping them prioritize their well-being. But about five years ago, my health took an unexpected turn. I faced a bizarre health issue that led to an emergency surgery, and I had to become my own biggest advocate to get through it. Had I not known how to speak up for myself and take control of my health, I honestly might not be here sharing this with you today.

The reason I recovered so quickly (and I’ll spare you the details!) is that I knew how to optimize my health—how to listen to my body, find relief, troubleshoot symptoms, and uncover the root cause. I turned to food as medicine and made lifestyle changes that supported my healing.

So many times, I was told, "Your bloodwork looks fine, you’re good," but I knew something was wrong. I felt terrible, but I had to keep digging, researching, and trusting my instincts. That’s how I found my way back to health, and now I’m here to help you do the same.

Despite living with multiple autoimmune conditions, I feel stronger, more energized, and healthier than I did 20 years ago. By addressing root causes, I manage my health and can help you do the same. I’m here to be your advocate—because you deserve to feel your best, no matter where you are in your health journey.

As a Women's Integrative Health Practitioner and Nurse, I’ve spent years helping women navigate the complexities of health, especially during the transformative years of midlife. My passion for supporting women through perimenopause, menopause, and beyond stems from my own personal experiences and the challenges I’ve seen many women face when it comes to their health.

After discovering the power of holistic health approaches, including Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA), nutrition, and lifestyle changes, I realized that we deserve to feel empowered and supported during this phase of life. I founded The Midlife Hive to create a space where women can find the resources, community, and guidance they need to thrive.

Through this journey, I’ve learned that midlife is a time for reinvention, self-care, and transformation. My goal is to provide practical, actionable advice with a compassionate, supportive approach, helping women at all stages of midlife find balance, confidence, and vitality. Let’s navigate this journey together!
