I’ve always been passionate about the natural world. Since middle school, it was clear that I would pursue a degree in Biology. It only made sense given my never-ending pursuit of why? and how? regarding nature. 

I followed that passion through college and grad school. And then returned to the classroom as the teacher. Since then, I’ve taught over a thousand students the ins and outs of how our tiny (yet mighty) cells work and how they make our bodily world go round and round.

Continuing to follow my curiosity (and my journey of health challenges, which include two pregnancy losses) I came to learn how critical nutrition is for fertility, pregnancy, and long-term health outcomes for moms and babies.

I went back to school to pursue Holistic Nutrition after my youngest was born to dive deeper into nutrition and reproductive health. The overall message I got in school, and one that deeply stuck with me, is that we’re losing health at an alarming rate with each passing generation. 

We’re three generations into a drastic change in diet and lifestyle in the US, and it shows. Even more alarming is that the health outcomes for babies and children are also declining with chronic health conditions now rearing their ugly heads earlier and earlier in life. 

This is what pulled at my heartstrings. As a mom. As a human on this planet. There was a strong nudge inside me to work towards restoring health. I wanted to create a space that’s part of the solution. A space that contributes to turning those statistics around. 

If you’re someone who follows your intuition, you may already know that as soon as you’re open to your inner nudges, possibilities start to open up. I found the resources and made the (serendipitous) personal connections that lead me to dive into the Developmental Origins of Health and Disease and into the evidence-based frameworks of the 100-year effect and the first 1,000 days of life.

If this sounds like nerdy stuff, it’s because it is ;)

To summarize the science, in the words of author Judith Finlayson, “your health at preconception, the food you eat while pregnant, and the environment surrounding your baby for the first 1,000 days of life, together, play the most important role in your child’s health and development.“ 

What does this mean for you and your growing family? It’s uplifting news. You have a beautiful window of opportunity to lay a strong foundation of health for your child from preconception until their 2nd birthday. 

I created Nourishment for Generations for you and your family, so we can collectively have a positive influence on the health of you, your baby, and future generations.
