The Heart of the Story
I’ve spent most of my adult life feeding people—first with recipes, then my brainchild of menus, recipes, and shopping lists (which became a whole thing!), and now, at this stage in my life, with something much deeper.
Because here’s what I’ve learned after all these years: most women I know are starving in ways that food can’t fix.
We’ve fed everyone else.
We’ve carried the responsibility of the world on our backs. We’ve said “I’m fine” so many times that we’ve almost believed it. And somewhere along the way, the beautiful light inside us dimmed.

I’ve spent most of my adult life feeding people—first with recipes, then my brainchild of menus, recipes, and shopping lists (which became a whole thing!), and now, at this stage in my life, with something much deeper.

We’ve fed everyone else.
We’ve carried the responsibility of the world on our backs. We’ve said “I’m fine” so many times that we’ve almost believed it. And somewhere along the way, the beautiful light inside us dimmed.
And that’s why you’re here.
This isn’t just about dinner—it’s about nourishment. Real nourishment. The kind that wakes up your body, clears your mind, softens your heart, and reconnects you to your soul.
This is what being a woman in Full Bloom is about: understanding that the whole woman is more than just the parts we like or love; it’s about the entirety of who we are.
Rising to this idea of living in such a way is the antidote to burnout, invisibility, and that nagging feeling that life got smaller when you weren’t looking.
So let’s make a deal, you and I. No more of the same old thing. It’s time to live in Full Bloom, and I will be with you every step of the way.

Why You’re Here
When I turned 50, I thought I’d have it all figured out. Instead, I found myself wondering: Who am I now that everyone needs me less?
If I could go back, I’d tell that woman exactly what I’m telling you:
❝You’re not behind—you’re just being called forward.❞
Forward into strength. Forward into joy. Forward into the next version of yourself that isn’t defined by what you’ve lost, but by what you’re ready to claim.
That’s what Living in Full Bloom is about.
It’s the space between nutrition and meaning, between structure and surrender. It’s where you learn that how you feed yourself is how you lead yourself—back home to who you uniquely are.
And you don’t have to do it alone.

The Four Rooms
There’s an old Indian proverb that says,
“A human being is a house with four rooms: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Most of us live in one room and only visit the others occasionally—but to be whole, we must go into every room every day.”
That quote stopped me cold the first time I read it, because it named what I’d been missing.
I’d been tending the physical room—feeding, cleaning, working, striving—but the other rooms weren’t even a part of my consideration. As a matter of fact, they were so closed off, they were just plain forgotten about.
So now, everything I create—every recipe, every class, every conversation—is about opening all four rooms again.
You cannot feel the scope of who you are and why you’re here (on purpose and for purpose) if you’re not engaged with your entire self.

A Note From Me to You
If you’ve ever thought, “Is this all there is?”—you’re not alone! This is a very special place to be, believe it or not.
It’s a flashing yellow light on your dashboard letting you know that it’s time!
And the honest to God truth is, you are not too late, too old, or too far gone. You are a woman in the middle of a remarkable becoming.
And I’m right here with you. This is a metamorphosis, this is messy, and it’s extraordinarily magnificent all at the same time.
If you’re ready to live in Full Bloom, you’ve come to the right place.

As a nutritionist for over 25 years, I’ve been there. Hashimoto’s, hormonal weight gain, and yes, dealing with trauma and life’s ups and downs. I know what it takes to right your ship and as a woman of a “certain age”, I know how to make it happen for you just as sure as I made it happen for me!
