A Little About Me

Hello, and welcome to my healthy place. In many ways, I have been on a health-focused path all my life. I knew when I was a very small child that I wanted to be a doctor, and I wanted to help people. While I didn't achieve my dream of becoming a doctor, I'm still passionate about helping people lead healthy lives. My primary health focus is food, because I absolutely adore it. We need food for simple survival and nourishment, and we can also utilize food to help prevent and even heal illness, especially lifestyle diseases.

​

While food is my primary focus, my ongoing drive is to pursue health in all areas of life - physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual - and share my findings with others.

​

Because I wanted to be a doctor, I view food as medicine which is why I choose to follow a whole plant-based diet. I also ran a cake decorating business for over two decades so I also view food from a creative, aesthetic perspective so I try to plate my meals in a visually appealing way (when food looks beautiful, it's going to taste even better, right?). I love photography and travel and I'll share some of that here as well.

 

I have a B.S. in Sociology from Vanderbilt University, Health & Life Coaching Certification from IAPO (International Association of Professional Organizations), am a Certified Personal Trainer with ISSA, and Health & Wellness Coaching Certification from AFPA (American Fitness Professionals & Associates). I currently live in North Alabama with my husband, Daniel. Daniel and I have three children: Daniel, II, Dasia and Derek (affectionately known as 'Ma Chickpeas'). My dad and mom, the late James and Ruby Reeves, who live in my heart forever, are also a big source of inspiration for EVERYTHING I do.

​

Enjoy.
