“We are all just walking each other home.” -Ram Dass

Imagine walking through a forest. The earth beneath your feet is steady, the sunlight warms your skin, and the wind whispers through the trees, carrying the scent of pine. For a moment, everything is calm. You feel grounded, part of the world around you.

Then, suddenly, a storm rolls in. The wind picks up, the air turns cold, and the path ahead becomes unclear. You feel the weight of the storm in your chest—a familiar tension born from uncertainty, fear, and pain. It’s easy to wonder if the storm will ever pass, if the sun will ever shine again. In that moment, you feel alone.

But what if, at that moment, someone walked beside you? Someone who can’t change the storm but can help you stay steady through it?

Healing is a journey through the landscape within. Our paths are shaped by the stories we tell ourselves, the patterns we live by, and the beliefs we hold about who we are and what we can become. Sometimes we get so lost in the forest of our thoughts and fears that we forget how much room we have to grow. It would be an honor to walk beside you. I can help you find shelter when the way feels overwhelming, guide you back to your inner light when it seems lost, and stand with you as you bask in the warmth when the sun returns. Your journey is uniquely yours, and I’m here to support you step by step.

As Maya Angelou said, “There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.” Let us find your voice so you can share your story in a way that feels safe and empowering. Together, we’ll explore the landscape of your heart, mind, and spirit as you find your way back to peace, no matter what the weather may bring.

Board Certified Holistic Nutritionist

“He who has health, has hope; and he who has hope, has everything”

Abbie’s journey into health and wellness began early in life, driven by a struggle with anxiety and panic attacks. Determined to find a natural solution beyond the medication she was prescribed, she immersed herself in understanding the powerful connection between the gut and the brain. Through small changes in her diet and lifestyle, she experienced profound improvements in her well-being, with her panic attacks almost completely disappearing as her body received the nutrients it needed.

In 2019, when her husband underwent treatment for cancer and a bone marrow transplant, doctors advised the removal of all cleaning products and chemicals from the home to protect his health. This sparked a life-changing realization for Abbie: “If these products are so damaging to someone recovering from illness, why would they be safe for my family or anyone?” Abbie embarked on a journey to detoxify her home and pantry, and through this process, saw remarkable improvements in her husband’s recovery and even in her ability to conceive their second child—something conventional medicine had told her was highly unlikely, if not impossible.

During this challenging time, Abbie returned to school and in 2023 became Board Certified in Holistic Nutrition. Rooted in education, it has become Abbie’s passion and mission to raise awareness of how our diet and lifestyle choices shape our health. Through her experiences she brings compassion, empathy, and understanding when working with individuals with various diagnoses and firmly believes that our bodies have an innate ability to heal when given the proper environment and nutrition. Abbie’s goal is to help others realize this potential and guide them toward a healthier, disease-free life.
