I am a follower of Jesus, a wife, a mother, a daughter, and a friend. Most days, you’ll find me in my Bible, with my family, cooking nourishing meals, volunteering at my son’s school, leading the moms’ group at my church, creating a peaceful home, strength training, walking our dog and occasionally napping. It’s a full, beautiful, often hectic life—one I know many women can relate to.

For years, my body sent me signals I couldn’t ignore: brain fog, joint pain, rashes, eczema, chronic fatigue, thyroid dysfunction, constipation, bloating and food sensitivities.

I was desperate and determined to fix it.

I worked with a nutritional therapist in the early years of my symptoms — and I am so grateful for that guidance — but it was also where my obsession with healing began.

I chased every test, every protocol, every new recommendation: stool tests, bloodwork, hormone panels, elimination diets, supplements stacked upon supplements. I spent thousands of dollars and rode a rollercoaster of hope and disappointment — feeling amazing one week, only to feel terrible the next.

There was no end in sight.

What I didn’t understand at the time was this:

My gut wasn’t just reacting to food.
It was reacting to stress.
I was living in a constant state of striving and it was consuming my every thought and action.

What I can so clearly see now is that my obsession with healing was keeping me sick, and from truly living.

Even though I was doing everything “right,” my nervous system was constantly frazzled and rarely at rest. I was scanning for symptoms, researching late at night, analyzing every bite, and always waiting fearfully for the next flare.

My body didn’t feel safe. And when the body doesn’t feel safe, it doesn’t prioritize repair.

And then I heard it. That small, still voice whispering to me: “Enough.”

I obeyed.

I surrendered the obsession. It didn’t mean that I was giving up or being lazy. It meant shifting from trying to control the reactions of my body to stewardship of it. It meant creating rhythms that signaled safety to my body instead of pressure.

I had to step back to take time to pause and reflect. I had to intentionally slow down and focus on the health areas of my life I genuinely loved - not because I “had to do it” to heal.

I stopped trying to manage every symptom and instead began focusing on what truly mattered: rhythms that anchored my body, mind, and soul - all things that drew me closer to Jesus and pointed me towards the Biblical truth of what caring for our bodies should actually look like.

This was such an opposite approach from where I had been, and because of that, I had to learn to “grow into the slow.”

Growing into the slow meant aligning my health and wellness values with my spiritual values. It meant honoring the rhythms that God, our Creator, built into life and the body: rest, work, nourishment, and spiritual connection. It meant starting each day in a way that set the tone for peace, caring for my gut without obsession, and creating a home that supports calm instead of chaos.

I started my mornings with Jesus. I prioritized sleep and created a wind-down routine. I moved my body daily, because I thrive on exercise. I practiced food freedom — listening to my body instead of fearing that a single bite of gluten or dairy would undo me. I cleared out nearly 90% of my supplements and kept only the essentials.

As I calmed my nervous system and stopped living in fight-or-flight, something started to shift…

I experienced more steady energy, fewer flare-ups, greater food tolerance and more emotional steadiness.

My body began responding not to force, but to safety. It felt like mine again, not a project or a problem.

This journey became the foundation of my approach to holistic Biblical wellness coaching. God placed a desire in my heart to serve women — especially those stuck in the exhausting cycle of trying to fix their gut through constant protocols, only to feel worse from the pressure.

My lived experience, combined with IIN certifications in health coaching and gut health, led me here.

I created Selah & Salt for women like you:

Women who love their families deeply but feel exhausted and worn down. Women chasing gut healing but stuck in nervous system overload. Women longing for steadiness in their days.
Women who want to serve from overflow rather than depletion. Women who want to care for themselves wisely — without living in constant vigilance. Women who long to feel at peace with their bodies and empowered in their choices, even if symptoms remain.

My mission is to help you cultivate whole-body wellness — mind, body, and soul — rooted in Biblical truth.

To guide you in calming the gut-brain stress loop through Christ-centered rhythms.

To help you create a home and a life marked by peace instead of urgency.

I would love to walk alongside you as you steward wellness for yourself and your family — one rhythm at a time, one day of peace at a time.

Many women believe that if they stop trying so hard to fix themselves, their health will unravel. I understand that fear because I lived and breathed it for years.

But what I’ve learned is this:

Freedom and true stewardship grow when we release urgency and embrace rhythm instead of constant striving.

Healing doesn’t come from obsession or perfection.

It comes from understanding how our bodies were created and the empowerment in knowing how to steward them well — spiritually and physically — aligning our days, our bodies, and our hearts with God’s design.

At Selah & Salt, I guide women to step out of vigilance, support their gut by calming their nervous system, and live with peace and empowerment — no matter where they are in their health journey.

Because when we take the time to pause and stop trying to control everything, we finally create space to truly live — on purpose.
