I didn’t build Rooted Change Wellness from a place of ease. I built it from the middle of real life — the kind that stretches you, breaks you open, and teaches you what truly matters.

I became a single parent while raising a child with special needs, navigating therapies, advocacy, and the constant pressure to stay strong even when I felt anything but. When I was injured at work and lost my job, I suddenly had to rebuild my life while unable to write or use my arm. That season taught me humility, resilience, and the courage to start again.

Later, I remarried and learned firsthand the complexity of blending families — the beauty, the tension, the healing, and the contested court process that came with domestic violence. I know what it means to fight for safety, stability, and peace. I know what it means to rebuild a home with intention.

Through every chapter, my faith anchored me. I am a Christian, and God is the center of my life. My strength, my compassion, and my calling come from Him.

In the midst of chronic pain and a car accident that led to fibromyalgia, I found unexpected comfort in a small koi betta fish. That little companion taught me quiet truths that reshaped my approach to wellness:

Small moments matter. Rest matters. Breathe. Be present. Keep growing through changing seasons.

I started my business with my family — and that fish — by my side. My fish passed away, and with that loss came a new understanding: pet grief is real, valid, and deeply human. I carry that empathy into my work, creating safe spaces for clients who are grieving in ways the world often overlooks.

Today, I am a homeschooling mom, wife a chronic illness warrior, and a behavior change specialist who understands what it means to build a life that doesn’t fit inside typical boxes. I am also a proud partner of Stroll White Eagle, where I support local businesses and engage with the community I love.

Rooted Change Wellness exists because I know what it feels like to hold everything together while trying not to lose yourself. I know what it feels like to rebuild your life more than once. And I know what it feels like to grow through seasons you never asked for.

My work blends evidence‑based behavior change with lived experience, faith, compassion, and the belief that even in the hardest chapters, you can still grow — gently, slowly, and sustainably.

This is not just my story. It’s the soil Rooted Change Wellness is planted in. And it’s the reason I hold space the way I do — with empathy, realism, and hope.
