Before Colleen and I started working together I felt rather overwhelmed by just about everything; lack of energy, balance, weight, clarity and therefore - lack of hope that something would shift. In a world that is constantly bombarding us with new “band-aide your symptoms and ignore the real cause” ideas - Colleen really helped support me to get back to the basics of building a solid foundation that is sustainable. She provided well-balanced accountability as well as the green light of validation to give myself some grace after years of striving to “fix” myself. I was supplied with as much information as I felt ready to receive and a safe place and knowledgeable person who practices what she preaches; the necessity of nurturing body, mind, and spirit. I have a much greater awareness of how stress affects my body, I am sleeping better, eating more well- balanced meals, and although I am not allowing past trauma to take the reins in my life, I am more able to be kind and understanding with myself - like I would be with someone I love who has experienced similar challenges. If you’re looking for someone to come alongside you as you seek to live this next chapter of life with a sense of more confidence and serenity, I highly recommend partnering with Colleen. I’ve walked away from appointments with numerous different providers feeling overwhelmed and wrapped in a sense of shame - only making me feel worse. Colleen will be sure to seek what makes YOU tick as an individual and support you in the way YOU need it. You’re worth it.

After a decade of researching ways to naturally heal, it became apparent that a foundational, healthy lifestyle and nutrient dense diet was key… By applying these principles, I've made huge progress on the healing of my IBD and various other symptoms, a breakthrough I once thought was out of reach.

After I gave birth to my first child, I was exhausted and falling asleep on the couch most nights. If "hangry" had a poster child, you'd be looking at her. I was irritable and impatient, accompanied by jittery and light headed feelings. I realized my blood sugar was out of whack. I now have sustained energy throughout the day and I'm able to keep up with my wild toddler. But what I found truly invaluable was better emotional regulation - which means more patience with my daughter and less snapping at my husband.
