My Chrysalis Story
“Understanding is Power. Healing is Possible.
You can’t fix what you don’t understand. But once you do, you hold the keys to transformation.
For years, I lived with what felt like disconnected health struggles—stomach issues, exhaustion, depression, hormonal imbalances, and brain fog. I cycled through pain, quick fixes, and frustration. I felt stuck, broken, and alone.
At the urging of my sweet mom, I started journaling. What I uncovered started me on a journey that would change everything. I saw patterns. I realized my symptoms weren’t random—they were connected. My body was screaming for help, holding onto past trauma, and responding with stress, inflammation, and imbalance. And I was unknowingly fueling the fire with my diet, lifestyle, and habits.
Breaking the Cycle & Reclaiming My Health
For years, I suffered from IBS (constipation, slow motility, bloating) adrenal fatigue, painful periods, and exhaustion. I saw doctor after doctor, but nothing truly helped because the focus was always on symptom relief—not root cause healing.
So, I took a different approach.
I started looking at my body as a whole—mind, body, and spirit.
I changed my diet.
I moved my body in ways that felt good.
I gave myself permission to rest.
I redefined what true nourishment meant.
And little by little, everything started to shift. My hormones balanced. My digestion improved. My energy returned. I finally felt like me again.
I was so fascinated by this transformation that I went back to school to become a health coach—because no woman should have to navigate this alone.
The Chrysalis Coaching Method
Chrysalis means transformation, and that’s exactly what healing is—a metamorphosis. Just like a caterpillar, we often resist change because it feels uncomfortable. But the beauty is in the process.
True health isn’t just about food. It’s about how we rest, play, process emotions, and nourish ourselves beyond the plate. If you’re feeling stuck in exhaustion, cravings, bloating, hormone imbalances, or anxiety, I’m here to help guide you through your own transformation.
Because you don’t have to do this alone.
Are You Ready to Feel Like Yourself Again?
If you’re tired of feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, and disconnected from your body, I’d love to help you take that first step toward healing.
Let’s work together.

A Little About Me
I’m a Southern girl, born and raised in Louisiana, but my heart belongs to Montana. We moved there in my 30s, and for 15 years, I had the incredible gift of raising my family in Bozeman—surrounded by mountains, rivers, and the endless Big Sky. I loved watching the wildlife from my porch, hiking, skiing, and soaking up everything Montana had to offer. Sure, the cold could get old, but let’s be honest—the Louisiana heat can drive a girl insane too!
Beyond my love for nature, my most important role has been being a wife and mom. My two boys are grown now, navigating their own journeys, and my greatest hope for them is a life filled with adventure, purpose, deep friendships, and, most of all, a sense of happiness and self-worth.
Just like I want the best for them, I want the same for you. Because true health isn’t just about what we eat or how we move—it’s about how we feel in our bodies and in our lives.
