Get To Know Me

A bit about me…

My Christian faith is the foundation of who I am. I’ve loved Jesus for as long as I can remember, thanks to the example of my mom and grandparents. My relationship with Christ has carried me through every season, and my heart is to share His hope and goodness with others.

Marriage & Family Life

My husband, Nate, and I have been happily married since 2016. We’re blessed with two cute munchkins- a daughter and a son. I’m so thankful to be a full-time mom to them!

I’ve been a proud fire wife since 2017, when Nate’s paramedic firefighter career began in Southern California. Today, we live in Idaho.

Homeschooling Our Kids

In early 2024, God nudged my heart toward homeschooling, and we started our Christian faith based homeschooling journey in September 2024.

We had many reasons we chose homeschool, but just to name a few:

• We felt called to be our kids’ primary influence.
• We wanted more control over food options for their health.
• Both of our kids were diagnosed in 2024 with Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) caused by mold exposure. Sadly, mold from water damage is very common in schools.

Homeschooling has had its bumps and learning curves, but the blessings far outweigh them. We’re very grateful for the opportunity to homeschool our children.

My Health Journey & CIRS Recovery

My passion for health came out of desperation to feel better. Since 2018, I’ve been praying and deep diving into all things health, seeking answers and learning so much along the way. Little by little I’ve changed health habits for myself and my family over the last 7 years.

Over the years, I’ve battled weight gain, IBS, acid reflux, daily back pain, hormone disruption, chronic fatigue, acne, thyroid and adrenal issues, extreme histamine reactions to food, and more.

2021 was my hardest year physically. But today, in 2025, I can thankfully say I’m about 60% better- which is huge! Since 2023, I’ve been working on putting Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) into remission and calming symptoms of Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS).

Changing my diet has been one of the biggest breakthroughs in becoming more functional in my daily life. I went from a Standard American Diet to Paleo-ish, to Keto, to Carnivore, and now to a Heavy Meat-Based & Whole Foods diet. It’s been life changing.

My Heart & Mission

My heart is to point to Jesus in all things—bringing encouragement, lifting others up, and offering fresh perspective. As we journey together through faith, family, and health, my prayer is to remind you that God is so good.

Hebrews 11:6 (NIV)

And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.
