In 2022 I hit rock bottom after multiple miscarriages, being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, and becoming completely burnt out both mentally and physically. I was doing everything for everybody and trying to be everything to everybody — and to be completely honest, I felt like I was failing at all of it. I was exhausted and irritable. I couldn’t focus on anything. I wasn’t the mother or wife that I so desperately wanted to be. I felt so depleted and misaligned that I felt that my only option was to make a radical shift ~ and so I did.
I decided to take my health and my life back into my own hands and start living the way that God intended me to. This involved slowing down. Cooking nourishing meals for my family made with real whole foods. Spending these fleeting days with my babies intentionally. Praying, writing, and filling my cup. It meant more nature walks, doing nothing, making messes, creating, and playing (yes adults can play too!). It meant less commitments, scrolling, comparison, processed food, and consumerism.
Through slowing way down and focusing on a balanced, whole food diet – I lost twenty pounds, got my energy back, and finally started feeling like the person that I know I am meant to be. The changes that I have seen in the past year both in myself and in my young family lit a fire in me to educate and encourage others that there is a better way.
My biggest passions lie in healing through nutrition and chronic stress reduction, as well as setting examples that will change the health and lives of our children. If you are tired of constantly being tired, struggling with acne, autoimmune conditions, infertility, blood sugar imbalances, being unable to lose weight, experiencing constipation, losing your hair, or any other conditions that are very common but are NOT normal – you are in the right place. I am so excited to take this journey with you!

Jaclyn

Recurrent Miscarriage & Hashimotos
The past year and a half has been a bit tumultuous for our family. I wasn’t sure if I was going to share this, now or ever, but I have always found writing to be therapeutic — and I recognize the “perfect” facade that social media can portray. It’s not real. Everybody is struggling with…
