a devout Catholic, wife, Registered Dietitian, and Marquette Method Student Instructor with a passion for helping women and couples understand and support their fertility through faith, nutrition, and Natural Family Planning (NFP).

​

My journey into this work began during my own marriage prep, when I was first introduced to the depth of NFP. What I learned about fertility and the way God designed our bodies completely shifted my perspective. I remember thinking, “Why didn’t I know this sooner?” It brought a sense of clarity and peace I wish every woman could experience.

​

As a Registered Dietitian, my training included prenatal and postpartum nutrition care. However, in keeping with the “band-aid” culture of our healthcare system, fertility nutrition—the most proactive and foundational stage in the reproductive journey—was never addressed.

​

As a Catholic, I believe life begins at conception. And as a Dietitian, I now understand that preparing for that life must begin long before conception. Fertility nutrition is not just a missing link—it's a vital piece of honoring the body and supporting the gift of life from the very beginning.

​

It wasn’t until close friends and family began sharing their struggles with infertility—and asking me how nutrition could help—that I began digging deeper. What I found was powerful: nutrition can play a major role in supporting fertility, but it has to be personalized and intentional. Our bodies need to feel nourished, safe, and supported to sustain new life, and uncovering what each woman needs can be a slow, detailed process—but it’s worth it.

​

This is why I now combine Marquette Method NFP instruction with fertility-focused nutrition counseling—so that women and couples can be proactive and informed, while staying grounded in their faith.

I always say: we do our part with the tools we’ve been given—charting, nourishing, learning—but ultimately, we’re called to surrender the outcome to God. That spiritual surrender is just as important as anything else we do.

​

My mission is to help you care for your body with intention, honor your fertility with reverence, and keep Christ at the center of it all.
