My journey into the health field, like most others, began with my own personal issues.

In high school, while battling an eating disorder, I was diagnosed with multiple food allergies. This began a decade-long battle with my health. Although at one point I was training and racing as a professional athlete, I was plagued by gut troubles, chronic injuries, and didn’t have my period for 9 years. My journey back to health was rocky and I often felt misguided or alone in my struggle. I quit professional sports and transitioned into coaching, eventually coaching at a high-level club in California, then on to a Division I college program. While earning my Master’s degree in Health and Exercise Science, I began to recognize many familiar health struggles in the athletes I was coaching. My research turned into passion as I dug deeper into hormonal imbalances, gut dysfunction and the microbiome, and the connectedness of all our biological systems. Forgoing a thesis due to COVID, I created the first all-around health guide for women, teaching phasic eating and providing a workout routine in coordination with their menstrual cycle for optimal hormonal and physical health. I also completed a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition certification to educate myself in lab testing and various healing modalities focused in diet, rest, exercise, stress-reduction, and supplementation. 

I believe that our bodies speak to us. If we listen to its whispers, we’ll never have to hear it scream. That’s why I have created A Better Way Holistics (LLC). To help female athletes optimize their health and performance instead of masking its cries with medications. I offer my services to anyone in the contiguous US who is looking to find A Better Way to vibrant health. 

When not assisting my clients, I love being active and exploring Idaho. My favorite things are: my husband and family, my dog, persimmons, and adventure!
