ABOUT me!

The person behind Route 2 Wellness....

If you had met me in my twenties, becoming a nutritionist would have been the last career you'd expected me to choose!

Like many young adults, I didn't think much about my health. I enjoyed hanging with friends, going out, and living my life. Nutrition wasn't part of my vocabulary, and I certainly wasn't planning a career in health.

Looking back, it's funny how life has a way of changing our direction when we least expect it.

When everything started to change....

My health story began with IBS (which I paid no attention to), but over the years it became much more complicated.

I was eventually diagnosed with Celiac disease, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and recently mild Sjögren's Syndrome. Along with numerous appointments, tests, specialists, and more questions than answers.

I was often told my blood work looked "normal." I was encouraged to simply manage my symptoms the best I could. And, I was left trying to piece everything together on my own.

It was frustrating, overwhelming, and at times very isolating.

I knew there had to be more to the story than just simply accepting that this was my new normal.

The turning point....

After decades of trying different diets, reading countless books, using Dr. Google, and looking for answers anywhere I could find them - I finally reached a point where I wanted to understand the science instead of relying on opinions and trends.

So, I went back to school and studied holistic nutrition.

It wasn't because I believed there was a magic cure out there. I was because I wanted to understand how the body worked; why autoimmune disease(s) affects everyone differently; and how nutrition & lifestyle could become part of a long- term solution rather than another short-term fix.

In essence, how could I live my life and do the things I loved to do, all while having many autoimmune diseases.

That decision changed not only my own perspective, but eventually the direction of my life.

How I work today....

Living with autoimmune disease has taught me that our health isn't about perfection.

It's about learning how your body responds to food, stress, sleep, hormones, movement, and the many other pieces that influence how you feel each day.

That's why my approach focuses on connecting those pieces rather than looking for one single answer. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all plans or chasing the latest trends, but I do believe that every woman deserves an approach that's personalize, practical, grounded in science, and fits within her lifestyle.

Still learning today....

One of the biggest lessons I've learned over the years is that health is never linear (a straight line).

Even after becoming a nutritionist, life continues to remind me that our bodies are always changing.

My recent hysterectomy was another chapter that reinforced something: "Every new experience teaches us something if we're willing to listen."

It reminded me that there will always be seasons where we need to slow down, adapt, and give ourselves some grace.

It is that perspective that shapes every client relationship I have.

I'm still learning, and I'm still listening to my body.

And I believe that understanding your body is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself.

And when I'm not working with clients, you can find me sitting by the ocean, travelling, curled up with a good book, at a Canucks game, or spending time in nature.

Thanks for getting to know me....I hope when you're ready, I have the opportunity to get to you know too!
