As a new mom of five my passion for family and home-based health has been ignited! Yes, that’s right my husband and I gave birth to quintuplets this past August. As I have been on a personal journey to rebuild my body, I have realized what a challenge it is to balance life inside and outside of the home, as well as, to keep your personal health a priority. It is known by many that parents often fall lower and lower on the totem pole due to family demands. I agree that children and family are priorities but think about how much more energy you would have if you were taking care of you, too!
I specialize in chronic disease prevention and management and this goes hand-in-hand with my renewed mission to help parents learn how to care for themselves while caring for their families. It truly is a balancing act but it is not an impossibility. I hope to help parents be well, even without leaving their own homes. This is possible with web-based counseling services, in-home assessments and helping families to “construct” home gyms even without any equipment!
In honor of this new focus of my practice, I will be launching a blog post series focused on healthy eating, exercise and wellness for new parents and families! As always, if there are any specific questions or areas of interest, please don’t hesitate to contact me. If you are wondering, there’s no doubt someone else is too!
