About Me

I have always had a passion for food and healthy living.  Growing up, I was known as the “healthy child” who would eat almost anything and played sports year round.  I became a Registered Dietitian in 2002 after graduating from the University of Oklahoma with a degree in Nutritional Sciences.  After a short stint in clinical dietetics, I realized that my passion was leading me to the wellness side of nutrition and fitness.  I earned a personal training certification from the National Academy of Sports Medicine and later a group fitness certification through the American Council on Exercise.

As a busy mom of two, I am passionate about showing people that healthy living can be simple.  Finding local food is easier than you think.  Cooking fresh meals for your family doesn’t have to be complex and time-consuming.  Encouraging your kids to try new things can be fun.  Fitting fitness into your schedule doesn’t have to be a chore. 


Take a new perspective on food and fitness.  Let it inspire you.  Appreciate the beauty of an artichoke.  Plant a garden.  Share meals as a family.  Play outside.


I also share the world of handmade with you.  If you haven’t noticed, crafting has made a comeback and it doesn’t involve moms in jumpers making lanyards.  I encourage you to read my posts about crafting and Etsy and to support handmade artists near you.


Join me as I share the results of my inspiration.   I hope that somewhere along the way, you can get inspired too.
