What's your business, and who are your customers?
I am grateful to be a Nutritional Therapist and Holistic Wellness Coach that helps support women on their healing journey. My clients are women who are living with chronic conditions and autoimmune diseases. I help women learn to prioritize themselves, overcome self-judgment and self-criticism, and heal pain through mindfulness, self-compassion, and anti-inflammatory nutrition and lifestyle practices that support an inspired and vibrant life. I help women connect with themselves and their needs, and it's beautiful and inspiring!
Tell us about yourself
As someone living with an autoimmune disease, rheumatoid arthritis, for over 20 years, I understand what it's like to live with chronic pain, fatigue, and all the emotional turmoil that comes along with those physical stressors. I am inspired and motivated by helping women learn to practice self-kindness and learn to care for themselves in compassionate ways on their path to healing. I never want anyone who is in pain, feeling overwhelmed, and suffering to feel like they are alone. I listen, hear, and meet my clients where they are and guide them to living with authenticity, self-compassion, and self-love.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Helping my clients see their circumstances from a different perspective so they can more easily work through whatever is holding them back from reaching their goals. It's exciting to see my clients have breakthroughs and make authentic, life-long changes from letting go of old thoughts that no longer serve them. It's deep work but also fun and so rewarding! One other source of pride is my podcast, Positively Anti-Inflammatory, which is approaching 100 episodes! I love that I reach and help listeners around the world!
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
Staying motivated to try new things because the fear of failure is real!
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Be deeply connected with your authentic truth and purpose of why you are doing what you are setting out to do.
- Know that you are a unique individual and have so many things to offer the world.
- Open your heart and mind to the idea that anything is possible!
