Hi, I’m Jess
I hope to empower you with tools to reduce inflammation and make choices to live more vibrant, healthy lives.
In my twenties, I was overweight, inflamed and experienced indigestion daily. I was out of shape and disconnected from my body. A job offer brought me to Seattle and I saw this as an opportunity to make changes in my health. I started moving my body more and paying attention to what I ate. I tried many different things, learning what worked for me along the way.
Reducing inflammation by shifting to a whole foods diet low in sugar was the start to help me shed over 40 pounds. This was not an overnight process and took time. During this transformation, I became a resource for friends and colleagues; sharing nutrient dense recipes, food prep strategies, supplement or herbal suggestions, and other lifestyle tips and tricks.
After corporate career redirection, in November 2021, I became certified as an Nutritional Therapeutic Practitioner/NTP to expand my nutrition knowledge and empower others to reduce inflammation, improve their symptoms, and reach their health goals.
Being adopted adds a layer to my drive for optimal wellness; not knowing my genetic history empowers me to shape my future as best I can. We all can have the power to change our habits and diets to shift our gene expression. We are not defined by our genetic predispositions.

The Pillars for Health
Nourish Yourself
Eat more nutrient-dense, single-ingredient foods, hydrate, and move daily. Be kind to yourself & nurture yourself and your relationships.
Practice Mindfulness
Adressing nervous system regulation is critical to lower stress and improve all body systems. Meditation, breathing exercises, tapping, chanting and yoga are examples.
Reduce Stressors
In addition to daily stress, toxins also tax the body. Ditch fragrances, choose non-toxic cleaning and personal products, and opt for organic produce.
