Hey there!
I’m Char—wife, mom, Army Veteran, entrepreneur, and a woman who’s been through the trenches of balancing it all. I’m so excited to welcome you into this community! As a Functional Nutrition Practitioner, Board Certified Holistic Health Coach, certified in herbalism, and dietary supplements, I specialize in women’s hormones, weight loss, insulin resistance, thyroid health, and perimenopause and beyond. My mission is simple: to help you reconnect with your body’s needs so you can feel vibrant, strong, and alive again.
I get it—
At 33, the VA diagnosed me with PTSD, anxiety, and depression—talk about a tough combo. To add to the chaos, my youngest was born with a third kidney as well as vesicoureteral reflux, and I was just exhausted trying to keep up. I battled and conquered a Xanax addiction along the way, and trust me, it wasn’t easy. But through it all, I feel my resilience was strengthened by my Army service, and that’s something I carry with me every day. I served as a Sergeant, and the leadership and responsibility of taking care of my soldiers come naturally to me—it’s just how I’m wired. And now, I’m using that same drive to help other women lead their own wellness journeys.
By 40, I was dealing with pre-diabetes, insomnia, zero energy, bloating, mood swings, brain fog, and 25 extra pounds. I managed to lose some weight and feel better with a well-known supplement brand, but eventually, I stopped using it and made the decision to leave my corporate job and go to nutrition school to learn how to do it naturally—no gimmicks, no quick fixes, just real, lasting change. Then, somewhere around 46, perimenopause started knocking on my door. It felt like everything I’d worked for was slipping away, but this time, I had the tools to face it head-on. I went back to the lifestyle changes that had worked before, and I stayed focused on what my body needed. I felt like I solved a giant puzzle! I can confirm that what they say is true, food IS medicine!
One thing is certain, midlife has a way of shaking things up. But if there's one thing I’ve learned, it's that when nature is turning up the hot flashes, we better be turning up the self-care. We need it, and we deserve it—now more than ever. That’s why I’m here, helping women navigate these changes and show up as their best, most confident selves.
Together, we’ll build the immunity, strength, and energy you deserve—while navigating life’s ups and downs.
With love,
Char
