As a mom of three, I understand that wellness has to work within a full, evolving, and sometimes unpredictable life. That perspective shapes the practical, compassionate support I offer every client. After my time in the Marine Corps and before I went to college, I realized I needed to quit smoking. I turned to hypnotherapy—and it worked. Experiencing that change firsthand sparked a lasting curiosity about the subconscious mind and showed me that change can become possible in a completely different way. My interest in nutrition became deeply personal after learning I had Hashimoto's and needing to change my diet. Cutting out certain foods had a profound impact on how I felt, and I wanted to understand why food could influence health and daily life so powerfully. That experience helped lead me to study Nutrition at Bastyr University. While I was there, electives—including making herbal medicine—opened another door. I became fascinated by practical herbal remedies, traditional preparations, and the ways plants can become part of meaningful everyday wellness rituals. My later work in nutrition, coaching, special diets, family programs, and hypnotherapy brought those threads together. It also taught me that knowing what to do is not the same as feeling able to do it—and that even excellent advice is only helpful when it fits the person receiving it. Vital Mana grew from the belief that meaningful change can be both grounded and expansive. You can honor evidence while listening to yourself. You can pursue a goal without turning against your body. And you can receive skilled support without being treated like a problem that needs to be fixed.
