About Michelle

A loving wife, bonus mom of two crazy boys, cat lover, loyal friend, beach bum, and certified health coach. 

My health struggles started when I was I9. I still cannot pinpoint what shifted to this day, but I became very constipated and bloated, lucky if I went poop twice a week. It started to affect my sleep, mood, energy, menstrual cycles, ability to lose weight and even led to stress and depression. Over the next 15 years, I spent a lot of time in and out of doctor's offices looking for answers. More often than not I was told "everything looks fine." Of course, this left me even more frustrated. I had three colonoscopies, all of which came back normal. I was told to try IBS medication to see if that helped and it only made me more sick. And if I'm honest, I don't think it helped that I worked a very high-stress job during this time. I started to question if this was just how my body was supposed to be and lost hope in doctors being able to help so I took my health into my own hands. 

I was about thirty when I started exploring holistic methods of healing and was pleasantly surprised with the path this took me down. It was the first time I'd ever heard the words "gut health," "candida yeast overgrowth," and  "food intolerance." Not once during the years of feeling miserable did a regular doctor utter those words. I learned that my gut microbiome was heavily out of balance, was overgrown with candida yeast, and I was intolerant to foods I was eating every day. After about three weeks of making some nutrition shifts and adding quality gut health supplements, I started to feel better and was pooping every day. Three months later I had lost ten pounds, started falling asleep easily, waking up feeling rested, had more energy, and felt my depression going away too. I almost couldn't believe that after all these years, I was getting relief. Who knew that by exploring gut health and getting more familiar with my lifestyle and nutrition habits I would continue to see positive changes and truly feel the best I had in years? My health journey wasn't a quick fix and it didn't happen overnight but I focused on making these new habits a part of my lifestyle and it's why at the age of 39 I no longer deal with any of the above health issues and have been able to lose thirty-five pounds and keep it off. 

By sharing my story I quickly learned I wasn't the only one silently suffering and I knew I could help others find relief too. My passion for taking people on a journey toward better health began. When I found myself unemployed in 2020, I struggled with the choice to keep working in an industry that sucked my soul or follow an unknown but fulfilling path toward helping others. When I was offered a dream job at a marketing firm in San Diego, CA with an attractive six-figure income and turned it down, it was then that I knew this path of health and wellness was where I was meant to be. So in March of 2022, I took the leap to go back to school and became a Certified Integrative Nutrition Coach through the Institute of Integrative Nutrition. 

The improvements I have experienced in my own well-being along with the successes of my clients prove that what I am doing works, and I am excited to start helping more people achieve their own health & wellness goals! No matter where you are on your journey, know that you don't have to do it alone. XoXo - Michelle
