Rose

Working with Vickie has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for my own personal health, in the last several years! We worked on building long-term healthy habits throughout my entire pregnancy and early postpartum. And I’m confident I will be able to use these strategies and techniques for years to come. I highly recommend working with her! She will help create a tailored wellness approach to your specific goals and needs. She is very thorough, genuinely caring, and passionate about this work. My entire mindset around food, exercise, and wellness have shifted since starting this process. I’m very happy I made the decision to invest in myself by working with Vickie. Don’t wait - reach out to her and get the process started!

Sarah

Before working with Vickie, I felt like I was constantly running on fumes. Between work, the kids, and trying to keep up with the house, I had no time for myself. My health suffered - I was always bloated, tired, and struggling with a lot of food sensitivities.  Vickie helped me create a realistic self-care plan that fit into my crazy schedule. Now, I feel more energized, focused, and I finally conceived our second child!

Emily

I came to Vickie feeling lost and unhealthy. I knew I needed to make changes, but I wasn't sure where to start. Through working together I learned how to nourish my body with the right foods, manage stress, and prioritize my well-being. My energy levels have soared, and I feel so much more confident and in control of my health.
