Metabolic Balance Coach Profile
I've been where you are — and I found a way through.
I spent years doing what most of us do — trying every diet, every program, every "this time it'll be different" plan. I was overweight, exhausted, dealing with medical conditions, and running out of answers. At my heaviest point and at the end of what felt like a thousand internet searches, I couldn't find a single success story from someone who looked like me or lived like me.
Then the pandemic hit. I finally had the time to focus on my health — but none of the energy or motivation to actually do it. A friend mentioned a metabolic balance coach. We chatted. I was hesitant but I figured one more try couldn't hurt.
"That turned out to be one of the best decisions of my life — and it changed me in ways that went far beyond the number on the scale."
It wasn't perfect. But it was simple, effective, and — for the first time — sustainable. That experience lit a fire in me. I went on to study nutrition formally, became a Certified Holistic Nutritionist, Nutritional Consultant, and Metabolic Balance Coach, and founded River Birch Nutrition — so I could be the coach I once sought.
Today, I work with people who are tired of starting over. Together, we focus on weight loss, hormonal and metabolic balance, and lasting lifestyle change — not as a quick fix, but as a real reset. I'm here to show you it's possible to reclaim the version of yourself you thought you'd lost.

The name River Birch wasn't chosen by accident.
The river birch tree is known for its strength, adaptability, and resilience — it grows and thrives even in the most challenging conditions, rooted deeply near water and healing.
That's exactly what I believe is possible for you.
Calm
Slow down to speed up.
Set the table, breathe, be present. Rushing or grazing without noticing means your body never gets the signal to relax, digest, and let go — so it stores instead of burns.
Optimize
Protein first, always.
A few bites of protein before anything else triggers glucagon, keeps insulin low, and burns fat while curbing hunger.
Restore
Kitchen closes by 9.
Give your body 3 hours to digest before bed. Your sleep cycle — and your metabolism — will thank you.
Energize
Water is your reset button.
Hit your daily intake and flush the fatigue, bloat, and sluggishness that's weighing you down. While moving your body in ways that bring you joy.
