Hello there! For those of you who are new I thought I should introduce myself!
Here’s my personal story! 馃檪
I’m Amy~ I’m a busy mom of 2 awesome kids (Gigi and Rocco) and wife to a wonderful husband and partner, Matt.
I had an eating disorder in high school and since then have followed just about every fad diet possible (low fat, vegan, vegetarian, paleo, keto…etc. etc.). Through this, I have realized the need to stop the craziness and to listen to and nourish my body.
I’m also a long-time yogini – I’ve been practicing since I was about 15 years old. My practice has undoubtedly changed over the years, incorporating more meditation and less wheel pose. I have been teaching yoga for 20+ years on and off.
The day after I completed 200-hr yoga teacher training, I conceived my daughter after over 1.5+ years of trying! I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) in College…and that made it difficult both times to conceive and also predisposed me to gestational diabetes…which I developed with my son.
Through my journey, I have researched extensively and continue to be a lifelong student. Still, more importantly, I have the lived experience of being a woman struggling with an eating disorder, fertility, and blood sugar…now headed toward perimenopause.
I, too often, talk with women who wish they would have done something before hitting menopause like a brick wall. My goal is to help women (and myself) enter perimenopause in optimal health, minimize bothersome symptoms, and remain vital, active, and healthy for years to come.
