There are almost a million things to juggle and oftentimes, doing the “right” or “healthiest” thing isn’t easy. It’s HARD and CONFUSING. But hey! That’s where I come in. Think of me as your internet bestie, out here sharing both the “why” and the “how” to hopefully ease your burden. So, find a chair and cozy on up in my little internet living room.
Born and raised by a Portuguese mother and Puerto Rican father, in a small California farming town. Grew up in a house filled with love, culture and a "knowing" that I was born to help others. Met my husband at 6 years old. Chased and achieved the dream in the Bay Area for a decade, which will forever live in my internal highlight reel. Got married to previously said soul mate, and moved back to our little home town to raise our beautiful babies and place our roots.
Over the years I've had some pretty big life moments that have led to me straight to my knees in prayer. Following my Mom's Parkinson's diagnosis, I dove deep into disease management and prevention. The research left me stunned as I realized the amount of toxic risk exposures I was an active consumer of. Unfortunately I learned this the hard way but it is my mission and goal that you don't have to!
Cheesy, I know but gosh...is it so true. Out of all of the roles and titles I've held, being "mom" is my favorite and most privileged title of all. My boys are my purpose and the driving force behind every decision I make. There is nothing that brings me greater joy than playing monster trucks and hosting dance parties with my babies.
Anywhere we're camping and outdoors, nestled between trees. Especially if it's in Yosemite. For our very first date, my husband asked me to go on a hike with him in Yosemite. We had the BEST time and the rest is history!
