My journey began in 2014 when I decided to take my health into my own hands. Prior to that I was like most Americans; exhausted, irritable and overweight, suffering from a plethora of gut issues. My joints ached and I felt twice my age. I lived for the weekends and abused my body with alcohol while relying heavily on caffeine. I paid no attention to my diet and thought folks who exercised were wasting their time. I was unaware and uninformed of how little our institutions and industries cared for us as human beings as they focused their efforts on acquiring lifelong customers and maximizing profits. Until I decided to make a drastic change.

I educated myself on diet and nutrition, becoming aware of the healing properties of some foods and the detrimental effects of others. I adopted a meditation practice that evolved into something deeper over time. I began to make small changes to my lifestyle that eventually lead to bigger shifts in my overall well-being and perspective. The veil was lifted and at the risk of sounding like a hippie (we need more of those btw) my frequency had reached its highest point.

My intentions began to shift from self care to wanting to help others realize their potential and experience the vitality that resides in all of us. In 2023 I received my certification as an Integrative Nutritionist from the International Institute Of Nutrition and shortly thereafter launched Pull Your pLants Up. Ultimately my goal with Pull Your pLants Up is to guide others as they take back control of their health from the industries that rely on us remaining unwell.

A few side notes about me…I’m a student of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, an Irish citizen, an avid reader, a vinyl collector, a part time artist with a strong distaste for all forms of social media, currently residing in New Hampshire with my Lady, our two kiddos and our two dumb dogs.
