Healthy, nourishing food is my love language, and nothing brings me more joy than sharing my expertise in eating through kitchen tips, nourishing recipes, and cooking how-tos. I attended culinary school, and I’m a Certified Holistic Nutritionist. But more importantly than what I learned in a classroom, I cook for my family every, single day. That everyday experience means I know well the pressure of wanting to get a healthy meal on the table in the middle of a hectic day. I’m here to help you feel confident in your nourishing kitchen!
On Wholefully you’ll find my body of recipe development work. I’ve been professionally developing well-tested healthy recipes in my home kitchen for over 15 years! I’ve published multiple cookbooks, worked with some of the biggest brand names in the food world, and my recipe development and food photography work have been featured in the pages of national magazines, newspapers, and online publications.
You’ll find vegan recipes, paleo recipes, clean eating recipes, and maybe even a cookie recipe (or two). We also teach you how to fit healthy eating into your busy lifestyle through meal prep.
Including my own stories about mental illness, plus the ways I keep my mind and soul happy and healthy (hint: it involves therapy, dog snuggles, and lots of long, hot baths).
One of the healthiest things you can do for yourself is to get outside everyday. We talk gardening, herbal medicine, foraging, hiking, and many other outdoor topics. We’ll also talk about how to preserve your harvests for winter days.
I share with you my favorite all-natural methods for solving common household problems. Yes, you can make your own laundry detergent with stuff you probably already have in your house.
Health isn’t just about food or medicine, it’s about doing what bring you joy. I’ll be inviting you along as I do the things that bring me joy! Hopefully you’ll find your heart-soaring activities along the way.
Bodies come in all shapes, sizes, and colors, and every single one of those shapes, sizes, and colors can be (and inherently are) healthy, empowered, strong, and beautiful. My goal is for Wholefully to be inclusive, intersectional, and empowering.
Wholefully started with just me, myself, and I working on nights and weekends on my laptop, but as our community grew, so did the workload! Now Wholefully is run by an incredible team of inspiring women.
Yep, you caught me, wholefully is a totally made up word. The name Wholefully came from a combo of the words wholesome and joyfully—which is pretty much the epitome of how I try to live my life. Because you won’t find it listed in the dictionary, here is my definition of wholefully:
The wholefully approach to wellness combines focusing on wholesome, natural, holistic methods for improving your health all while making sure to live your life joyfully.
