For those of you who don’t know me, please allow me to introduce myself and share a bit of my story with you. I’m a Mom to three kids. My first two babies are a product of IVF. My 3rd child was conceived naturally and a VBA2C. I personally struggled with IBS, endometriosis, ADD, depression, anxiety and acne from a very young age. After struggling with infertility and gaining 85 lbs with my first pregnancy, I realized I needed some help around body image issues. It was there I realized health was my priority. When my eldest daughter was born at 6 lbs, we were told she possibly had “failure to thrive.” Whatever that means. She was extremely shy and anxious, had severe eczema that landed her in the ER twice, had stomach aches, sleep issues and was sick often with strep, ear infections, croup and colds. It was because of her that I threw myself into learning everything I could about feeding children, nutrition, and health. I went to doctor after doctor and they all told me her issues were normal and she would grow out of it. Deep down, I knew there was something going on and was determined to find the answer. SHE IS MY WHY. I did everything “wrong” with her, but you cannot do better when you don’t know better. She tells me she is my practice child. I enrolled in nutrition school. I went to ten day long seminars. I changed pediatricians. I experimented with her diet. When my second child was born, I did things a little differently. By the time my third was born, I had gone over the top into crunchy Mama mode. We removed almost all environmental toxins from the house. I made his baby formula from scratch and drove myself to adrenal fatigue with a nursing/pumping/homemade food making schedule because my daughter was also on GAPS. I made bone broth, granola bars from scratch, ground my own flour, made my own yogurt, dehydrated kale chips, sprouted grains and nuts, fermented things. In my effort to fix our health with food, I made myself sick. And I was missing out on so much of what I had fought for because I spent all my time in the kitchen. So now I do the best I can to straddle both worlds. Optimal nutrition is still a core value of mine and I’m passionate about teaching it to others who want to learn. However, I struggle with finding balance just like any other Mama of three…the balance of spending time with my kids and husband and still finding the “me” time I deeply need. The balance of eating a whole foods, gluten-free diet (I really should be egg and dairy free but that doesn’t always work out) while being on the run with three kids. The balance of my own self care and caring for my kids. I share my journey here on my FB page. I will always share my truth with you. I will not judge your imperfections and ask that you not judge mine. I look forward to getting to know you should you choose to hang out here with me.

Mary‘s new book is a blending of memoir, science-based research, and a practical Complex Trauma workbook & Addiction Recovery Healing Guide.
In it, Mary shares her story that in mid-life, she discovered the root cause driving her struggle with relationships, health, and work, and her past struggle with alcohol, drugs, food, and severe obesity was a condition known as Complex PTSD, a more severe form of PTSD that developed from her being raised in a chaotic alcoholic home.
This discovery sent her on a five-year journey where she researched leading experts in the fields of C-PTSD, neuroscience, developmental psychology, adverse childhood experiences, and addiction medicine to find the most effective treatments for optimal healing.
As she embarks on her trauma-healing journey, she shares experiencing one mind-blowing revelation after another as she learned C-PTSD was operating behind the scenes sabotaging her weight, recovery, relationships, career, and health. She then shares what she did to heal and how discovering and healing her trauma marked the single most transformative turning point in her life. She also provides access to all she’s learned through a compassionate, step-by-step C-PTSD workbook and Addiction Recovery Guide so her readers can embark on their own trauma healing and recovery journey.”
