Let’s talk about it👇🏼

Your period is still missing because you’re still holding on to the fear of calories, weight gain, or “doing recovery perfectly.” You’re overthinking every bite, every portion, every step. And maybe you’re even telling yourself, “I’m eating more... so why isn’t it working?” 🤦🏼‍♀️

The truth? Your body doesn’t need perfection—it needs nourishment. And if you’re still trying to stick to low-calorie options, avoiding carbs, or overthinking every meal, you’re holding your body in stress mode.😥

But here’s the good news: the holidays are the perfect time to start letting go of these fears. 🎄

👉🏻Why? Because holiday meals are packed with the exact foods your body needs to feel safe—think stuffing, potatoes, pies, creamy casseroles... all those amazing, carb-rich, energy-packed dishes that are SO good for recovery.

Instead of fearing holiday foods this year, let yourself lean in. Your body doesn’t care about what diet culture says—you don’t need to “earn” these meals. What your body needs is consistency, energy, and for you to stop worrying about doing it all perfectly.

And if you need help figuring out how to eat enough without all the overthinking, I’ve got you covered. My HA 4-Week Period Recovery Meal Roadmap will walk you through exactly how to get started: ✨ 4 weeks of nourishing, balanced meal plans (you don’t have to think twice!) ✨ 56 delicious recipes that make eating enough feel EASY ✨ A detailed guide on how to eat to speed up your recovery

The holidays can be the season you finally stop fearing food and start focusing on what truly matters: getting your period back and giving your body the care it deserves.

Ready to take the next step? Hit the link in my bio to grab your roadmap and let’s make this your year of recovery. 🎁

Ugh, I get it. 🙄

There’s always that one person who thinks they’re the official body police. Whether it’s “Wow, you’ve filled out a bit, huh?” or “Are you sure you want seconds?” it’s enough to make you want to hide in the kitchen.😶‍🌫️

Here’s the thing: your body isn’t up for discussion. ❌

👉🏻You’re focusing on healing, getting your period back, and taking care of yourself—and that’s what really matters. Weight gain is part of the process, and it’s actually something to celebrate because it means your body feels safe again. 👏🏼

If you get those comments, here’s what you can do: ✨ Redirect: “How’s your dog doing? I saw the cutest picture of him the other day!” ✨ Set a boundary: “I’m not really comfortable talking about my body. What’s new with you?” ✨ Exit stage left: A quick excuse to refill your drink works wonders. 😌

At the end of the day, you’re not doing this for them—you’re doing it for you. So, let those comments roll off your back and remember why you’re on this journey in the first place. You’ve got this. 💛

Have you ever had to deal with this during the holidays? Let’s share tips in the comments because we’ve all been there. ✨👇

I wish more women knew this. 💛

If you’re missing your period, dealing with frustrating digestive issues, battling constant anxiety, or wondering why your libido has disappeared—it’s not just random. It’s your body trying to tell you something. Same goes for brain fog, feeling like you have to pee all the time, or hearing your doctor mention “low bone density” as if it’s no big deal.

When your body is under constant stress—whether it’s from not eating enough, exercising too much, or just pushing yourself too hard—it starts to prioritize survival over everything else. Things like your reproductive system, digestion, and even your mental clarity take a backseat because your body is conserving energy to keep you alive.

And here’s the thing: you don’t have to stay stuck here. By eating enough (yes, carbs and fats too!) and letting yourself rest, you’re sending your body a signal that it’s safe again. That it doesn’t need to stay in survival mode.

I know it can feel hard to let go of the habits that feel “healthy” but are actually holding you back. But I’ve seen firsthand how much can change when you start giving your body what it needs—not just to function, but to thrive.

Getting your period back isn’t just about fertility; it’s about reclaiming your health, your energy, and your peace of mind. 🧡

Trust me ❤️

I’ve been there, and remember all too well the fears I had when I was missing my period and how I couldn’t see a life where I didn’t struggle with this.

And yet, here I am. Living proof that recovery is possible 🙋🏼‍♀️

There were days that felt hopeless and times when I wanted to throw in the towel… but let me tell you, getting to the other side exceeded my expectations✨

The fears that I had about weight gain or loss of identity from exercise were very real and it all terrified me to the point that I didn’t even want to consider it an option. 😥

I thought that I would be happiest in my thinnest body, but each time I got closer to my “goal”, it was never enough 🤦🏼‍♀️ The cycle was vicious and ultimately left me miserable and infertile.

But when I actually let go of my sense of control, what I actually found was freedom from being consumed by trying to shrink myself and finally being able to have my beautiful children 💙🎀

So if you can relate, just know that you’re not alone and that you can totally recover!
Life is wayyy better on the other side! You just have to take the leap!👏🏼

Cheering you on!💕

Can you imagine it? 💭

What would that feel like for you? Liberating? 🥲

When you’re working on period recovery, sometimes it can feel overwhelming and confusing. You start to over analyze it all and stress over so many little things… 😥and then this stress can even be adding to the stress that has already caused your period to go missing in the first place. 🤦🏼‍♀️

So how can you work on period recovery, but not stress whether or not what you’re doing is actually leading you in the right direction?

Well, that’s where I come in and help! 🙋🏼‍♀️

✨After years of helping women recover from Hypothalamic Amenorrhea, I have made my proven nutrition framework available for you!

🛣️I have created a “roadmap”, if you will, that guides you through exactly what you need to do with your nutrition to get your period back ASAP! In this roadmap, I not only give you a comprehensive guide, but also include 4 weeks of meal plans, 56 recipes and more!

What if I told you, you don’t have to feel stuck and IVF is NOT your only option??💉

IVF can be a great tool for those who really need it, but with hypothalamic amenorrhea, it is NOT necessary!❌

Many of my clients come to me tell me that their doctor has told them that IVF is their last option, but when they really start to learn more about it, they are pushed to want to work on the root of their period problems rather than pay thousands of dollars 💸out of pocket for treatment and not be guaranteed a baby by the end of it…

Not only is IVF costly, it doesn’t address some of the key problems with your missing your period and many women still struggle with period loss after the fact, even if they’re able to get pregnant this way. 😢

SO the increased risks of heart disease, decreased bone density, and cognitive decline are STILL there‼️

Working on period recovery is not only helping you restore your period and fertility, but it’s allowing you recover your overall physical and mental health!🌟

Hands up for my client! 🙌🏻

When this client came to me, her #1️⃣ fear was gaining weight and that she would go through this whole process and it not working.

I totally get it! It can feel scary 🫣 and risky to go all in with this process. She even had multiple doctors tell her that she just needed to take Provera 💊 to get her period back, but deep down her intuition was telling her that this wasn’t the solution.

👉🏻When we started working together, we worked on helping her overcome some of these fears that she had and focused on decreasing her stress by eating appropriately and making a plan for her exercise.

It didn’t come without challenges, but she got her period back in 4 weeks of joining the program and got a positive pregnancy test within 10 weeks!🙌🏻👏🏼

Letting go of CONTROL. 🙌🏻

For so long, I was holding on tight 🤜🏻—trying to control how my body looked, what I ate, how much I exercised, and even how I thought my recovery should go.

But honestly? That control was keeping me stuck. My body couldn’t do what it needed to heal because I wouldn’t let go.

✋🏻Letting go of control didn’t happen overnight. It was scary feeling like everything was out of my control. I had to face a lot of fears—about gaining weight, changing routines, and trusting that my body actually knew what it was doing. But when I finally surrendered, everything shifted. ❤️

I got my period back. I got my health back. And most importantly, I got my life back. ✨

Letting go isn’t easy, but it’s worth it. If you’re in this place right now, I want you to ask yourself: what are you still trying to control? And what could you gain if you let it go? 💭💕

🌟Are you ready to let go and make actual progress to getting your period back?
I want to invite you to check out my HA period recovery meal plan! It has step by step instructions on how to eat to get your period back ASAP!

These might surprise you… 🤯

But let me lay it out for you 😁👇🏼

💊Birth Control - Many times when women go to their doctor for a missing period, the first thing they are given is birth control as a means to get their period back and make it regular. In actuality, this just gives you a withdrawal bleed and not an actual period because you did not ovulate. The rise and fall of estrogen, progesterone, LH, and FSH that occurs during a healthy ovulatory cycle must occur to have the known health benefits of your period. Unfortunately, just taking a pill doesn’t fix the problem

⏰Intermittent fasting - This trendy diet is actually seen to cause hormone imbalances in women including anovulatory cycles. Prolonged periods of fasting puts stress on the hypothalamus and prevents hormonal signaling to occur that are needed to have a healthy regular cycle.

💊Expensive Supplements - Just another pill that is not treating the root cause of your missing period with HA. Not to mention, supplements are not regulated and you could be paying a lot of money for a pill that doesn’t even have what it claims to have in it.

Which one of these surprised you? Let me know in the comments!

Worried about gaining weight while working on period recovery? 😳

I totally understand – I felt the same way! 🙋🏼‍♀️

This is such a common concern for the women I work with. And it makes sense, right? When we’ve put so much effort into shaping our body to look a certain way, the thought of letting go of that control can feel overwhelming and even like a personal setback. 😣

But here’s what I want to remind you of: you are SO MUCH MORE than
🫶🏻 Your body’s appearance
🫶🏻 The number on the scale
🫶🏻 The size of your clothes

You’re worth so much more! 💕

When I finally let go of my fear of weight gain, something incredible happened. Not only did I get my period back and become pregnant, but I truly got my life back too! 🙌🏻👏🏼

Imagine what it would be like to release this fear and finally reclaim both your period and your life. ☀️

So, you’ve been putting in the work, but still no period… 🤦🏼‍♀️

I know how frustrating that can be! 😣

Eating more and cutting back on workouts is a great start, but sometimes it takes more to get your period back.

Here are a few areas that might still need some attention 👇🏼

👉🏻 Timing of your meals: When you eat can be just as important as what you eat. Regular, balanced meals spread throughout the day can help regulate blood sugar and reduce stress on your body, both of which are essential for hormone health. Skipping meals or waiting too long between eating may hinder your body’s ability to restore your period.

👉🏻 Nutrient balance: This isn’t just about eating more calories; it’s about making sure you’re getting a good balance of macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, and fats) along with essential vitamins and minerals. Some nutrients, like iron, vitamin D, and omega-3 fatty acids, are particularly important for reproductive health.

👉🏻 Extended low-intensity exercise: While cutting back on high-intensity workouts is helpful, long sessions of even low-intensity exercise (like walking or yoga) can still be a stressor for your body if done in excess. Keeping activity levels balanced can help your body focus on hormone regulation rather than burning additional calories.

👉🏻 Managing mental stress: Psychological stress can have a major impact on your hormones and overall health. Practicing relaxation techniques, addressing emotional stressors, and making time for rest can all make a difference. Our minds and bodies are closely linked, so managing stress can be crucial for getting your period back.

Truly life changing!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻

If you are like I was, you’re feeling like there’s NO WAY you could possibly recover and have your life back… 🥺

I get it! I have been there. The feeling of defeat after 9 years of missing my period while wanting to start my family was truly painful (to say the least). 😣

I saw other women around my age getting pregnant, having babies, and watching their babies grow. Even though I was happy for them, it was still hard to watch and wonder why this wasn’t happening for me. 🥺

(The comparison game can be such a slippery slope…)

It wasn’t until I had made changes to my diet and lifestyle (that I was in denial that I had to make), that I actually got my first period and then got pregnant my next cycle! And now have 2 beautiful children!💙🎀

I never thought this would be my story. I had moments when I thought there was no hope in having a family. 🤰🏼
But thank the Lord I was so wrong! 🙌🏻👏🏼

Has your doctor prescribed you Provera? 💊

This is very common for doctors to prescribe this medication when you’ve been missing your period more than 3 months.

🦵It’s usually given to “kickstart” your period. But does it actually get your period back??

❌This medication may cause a withdrawal bleed, but not an actual period. (In order to actually have a period, ovulation must occur.)

It is also very common with HA to not even respond to Provera, which indicates a very suppressed reproductive system.

So if Provera isn’t the answer, what is? 🤷‍♀️

✨Working on the root of the cause, which is doing the hard work of fueling your body enough and giving your body the rest it needs to feel “safe” again to reproduce.

Life changing! 🙌🏻

So how did these women get here?

Well, let’s take a look at one of my clients👇🏼

My client came to me while she was struggling with disordered eating, poor body image, no period for 10+ years, and being told her only option to get pregnant was with IVF. 💉

🙋🏼‍♀️So this is when I stepped in to help her identify the root of why her period was missing in the first place. After taking a deep look into her history and her struggles, we realized that her nutrition and her level of stress was keeping her body in a state of survival.

So we worked together to make goals to help her not only meet her nutritional needs, but to help relieve her stress about food and her overall stress in her life. 🫶🏻

And guess what⁉️She confirmed ovulation twice within 11 weeks and got pregnant on her 3rd cycle! 🤰🏼

Sometimes you can know what to do, but need a professional set of eyes to see what YOU specifically need to do and support to keep you motivated to do it!

I know how frustrating it can be to gain weight and still not get your period back. 🤦🏼‍♀️

But recovering your period is SO much more than just weight gain! ⚖️

Here are other factors that may be contributing to you still not getting your period back:

⭐️You may still not be eating enough. Even though you’ve gained weight, you still may not be eating enough for your body to come out of its survival mode and re-start the proper hormonal signaling needed to ovulate and have a menstrual cycle.

⭐️Your body may still be in a state of stress. When you have too high levels of cortisol, this also affects your hypothalamus from having the proper hormone signaling required to have a period.

⭐️Your weight may not be the main factor for your period loss. If this is the case, looking into other factors in your day to day life that could be the result of your missing period will be vital in recovering.

❤️If you’re struggling with this today, don’t lose heart! I know how hard it can be, but just know that recovery is totally possible!💫

🥤Smoothies are a great way to get in more energy when you’re recovering your period.

If you feel like you’re feeling full fast, drinking your energy can be easier than eating. So having a smoothie as a snack or with a meal can really give you a boost of nutrition! ✨

⚫️1 cup Blueberries
⚫️1 Banana
⚫️2 Tbsp Ground Flax Seed
⚫️1 tsp minced Ginger
⚫️2 Tbsp Almond Butter
⚫️1/2 cup Spinach
⚫️1 Tbsp Honey
⚫️1 cup Whole Milk

1️⃣Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until completely smooth. If necessary, add more milk to help your blender process the frozen fruit.
2️⃣Serve and enjoy!

🫐Blueberries - Packed with antioxidants (like vitamin C and anthocyanins) to fight cell stress, which supports both immunity and hormone health.

🍌Banana - High in vitamin B6 and potassium, which support immunity and help reduce cortisol spikes. The fiber keeps blood sugar steady, which is key for hormonal balance.

🌱Ground Flax Seed - Loaded with antioxidants and healthy fats, plus phytoestrogens that naturally balance estrogen levels and support stable hormones.

🫚Ginger - Known for anti-inflammatory power, ginger can reduce cortisol and stress levels, which helps hormones stay in sync.

🥜Almond Butter - Rich in vitamin E and healthy fats to support immune health and keep blood sugar steady—great for hormone regulation.

🥬Spinach - Full of vitamins A and C, iron, and magnesium to boost immunity and lower stress, helping the body keep hormone cycles regular.

🍯Honey - Its natural antibacterial properties help strengthen your immune system and sugars are broken down to glucose to help give you body the energy it needs for hormone regulation.

🥛Whole Milk - Provides fats essential for hormone production and includes calcium for better stress management and sleep, both important for balancing hormones.

So give this smoothie recipe a try when you’re wanting an easy snack that will help give your immune system a boost and also support your hormones during period recovery!🫶🏻

Drop a ❤️ if you’ve been wanting to experience this

I had doubts I’d ever get here… 🥹

But by the grace of God, I was able to recover my period, restore my fertility, and get to feel the incredible joy of being a mom 💖

And with recovery, so can you!! 🤰🏼

✨ Recovering from hypothalamic amenorrhea isn’t just about reclaiming your health, it’s about getting your life back and getting the chance to bring home these little miracles (if being a mom is your desire).

To all of you who are in the middle of recovery, I want you know that there is so much hope 🌼

Don’t give up! 💪🏼❤️

Spooky 👻

We all have those ‘haunted house’ moments when food fears feel scarier than anything else. Fear of weight gain, fear of eating “too much,” or stepping out of that rigid routine you’ve held onto for so long can feel overwhelming. But here’s the thing—continuing to run from what your body actually needs won’t bring you closer to your period, your health, or your dreams of becoming a mom.

Recovery isn’t about perfection or control. It’s about facing those fears, one step (or bite!) at a time. You deserve to feel nourished, rested, and whole. 👏

So, let’s stop making carbs, rest, and self-compassion the villains of our story. 💛

What would you add to this??
Let me know in the comments! ✨👇

Feel like you’ve tried EVERYTHING… And still no period?? 🤦🏼‍♀️

Healing from HA can feel overwhelming and many times discouraging when you’re not seeing any progress. 😓

Let me guess, you’ve tried decreasing your exercise, eating more, and still nothing.😥

So what’s the deal?🤷‍♀️

Let me tell you about my past client Gavi. 🙂👇🏼

She had tried so many different approaches to try and get her period back including increasing her nutrition intake and decreasing her exercise, but her period was still not coming back. ❌

She felt like she was lacking direction and wanted to figure out what her missing piece to the puzzle was.🧩

📝When we started working together, we took a deep dive into her nutrition and lifestyle and made a plan together on how she was going to start seeing progress.

🌟And within just 8 weeks, Gavi got her period back‼️

💫She mentioned that having clear direction and feedback on how to ACTUALLY eat to get her period back + community support made a big difference in her recovery!

I was missing my period for 9 years.🩸❌

I was told that if I wanted to have a family, fertility treatments would be my only option. 💉

So when those fertility options didn’t work, I was left feeling hopeless. 😞

So I started looking into alternative ways to try and heal my body.

As a woman who loved her running routine and strictly controlled her diet, when I first heard that weight gain and slowing down my exercise routine was something I likely had to do, I definitely didn’t like this idea…😳

I had thoughts like:
💭I already know a lot about nutrition… so I doubt my nutrition will have to change.
💭What if I get uncomfortable and actually become more hopeless and depressed?
💭What if I give up these things I am used to, only for it to not work?

Even though I had these thoughts, I still made these changes to my diet and lifestyle, and guess what… I got my first period within a few months and got pregnant naturally my next cycle. 🤰🏼💫

💕And now I’m a mom of 2 beautiful children and don’t regret a single change that I made to be able to allow my body to heal so that my dream of becoming a mom could become my reality.

Are you wanting to recover your period so that you can get pregnant and start your family ASAP?

It wasn’t an easy journey—trust me, I know how scary it can be to push past the comfort zone of controlling every bite, every workout, and every ounce of energy.

I remember the fears that came with slowing down, gaining weight, and letting go of that rigid routine I held onto for so long.

It’s like you’re letting go of what you know, and that can feel overwhelming. 😬

But I also remember the moment I realized that holding on so tight was exactly what was keeping me from what I really wanted: a regular period and the chance to become a mom. 🌸

I learned that it needed food, rest, and taking care of my stress levels to be able to see my dream of becoming a mom a reality. 🤰🏼

Now, every sweet moment I have with my baby reminds me that it was all worth it—the fear, the doubt, the work, and the courage to trust my body again. 💫

If you’re in the middle of it right now, know that you’re stronger than you think. 💪🏼

It might feel scary, but every step you take towards healing and trusting your body is a step closer to the future you’re dreaming of. ✨

You deserve those sweet moments too, and they’re closer than you think. 💕

If you’re anything like me when I was missing my period, rest days felt like I was just being lazy…

It can be so hard to give yourself permission to slow down when we have a culture that praises hustling and continual movement. But one of the most powerful things you can do for yourself when you’re in period recovery is actually allowing yourself to take a step back and rest. 💆‍♀️💫

For so long, I believed that being ‘healthy’ meant working out every day, eating as ‘clean’ as possible, and constantly doing more. But the truth is, our bodies need balance. They need enough food, enough rest, and enough time to recover. When we’re always on the go, always striving for that next workout, we’re putting stress on our bodies—stress that can be a big reason our periods go missing in the first place. 🛑😔

If you’re trying to restore your period, I want to remind you that it’s okay to press pause on the things you feel you ‘should’ be doing. It’s okay to swap out an intense workout for a walk or a yoga session. It’s okay to spend the day in bed, watching movies, or reading a book 🧘‍♀️✨ Your body will thank you for it, even if it feels uncomfortable or counterintuitive at first.

It’s about creating a safe space where your body feels supported and nourished. That means enough fuel, enough rest, and enough kindness to yourself. So, if you’re in a season of slowing down, know that you’re doing exactly what you need to for your health and fertility. Sometimes, taking a step back is the first step forward. 🌸💛

It’s not easy, and I know it can feel scary, but trust that your body needs this time to heal. You deserve rest, and you deserve to feel good again ❤️

My client was told she needed IVF to get pregnant because her period had been missing for 11 years 😔

💉She’d been struggling for years to get it back, and after seeing multiple doctors, was told that IVF was her only option.

🥺She felt overwhelmed to say the least and wasn’t sure she really wanted to start this treatment. She wanted another way.

When she came to me, she wanted to try to do things without medication before she went down the path of IVF.

💫So, we dove into her diet and lifestyle together, and it was clear that she was caught in the cycle of:
🏃‍♀️Exercising with the goal of changing her body image
😓Struggling with perfectionism
🍞Fearing carbs and fats

She didn’t realize that her “healthy” habits were actually putting a lot of stress on her body and not allowing her hypothalamus to function properly to be able to have a regular cycle and get pregnant.

👉🏻We made a plan to gradually increase her food intake, incorporating more fats and carbs, and she started swapping out intense cardio sessions for gentler movement.

💕As we continued working together, she mentioned how she was actually feeling more relaxed around food and was valuing herself outside of her appearance.

After a few months of consistent changes, her period came back naturally, and she was so excited when, not long after, she found out she was pregnant—no fertility treatments needed! 🙌🏻🤰🏼

🌟If you’ve been told you need fertility treatments but feel overwhelmed and hopeless, just know that there is SO much hope in recovering!

💫Comment the word “HOPE” and I’ll send you more information on how this could be your story also!

Had to pull out this flash back! 😂🙌🏻

Are you missing your period and have been told you need IVF to get pregnant?

Well, you’re in the right place.🌟

Long story short, this was me also. I went 9 years without a natural period and was told multiple times that I needed to do IVF. So, I did IVF 💉, but it was not successful. 🥺

It wasn’t until I made changes in my life and to my nutrition, that I was actually able to recover my period and get pregnant my next cycle… naturally! 🤰🏼

🙋🏼‍♀️And now I help women like you do the same!

If you’re feeling hopeless and have been told that IVF is your only option, please know that it’s not and there’s so much hope in not only recovering your period, but also recovering your life! 💫

Let’s be real—cutting out sugar isn’t the magic fix for getting your period back. 🙅‍♀️

I used to think avoiding every sweet treat and being super strict with my diet was the answer, but it turns out, it’s was leading me further away from getting my period back and ultimately becoming a mom.

Your body needs enough energy, carbs, and fats to function properly—and yes, that includes sugar, too. 🍪✨ Restricting these foods is not only restricting your body’s main source of energy, but also leading you down a path to having an unhealthy relationship with food… I.e. food fears.

I worked with a client who was stuck in the same cycle. She was convinced that restricting carbs and sugar was the only way to get healthy and regain her period, so she cut out bread, pasta, and anything she thought was “unhealthy.” But despite her best efforts, her period was still missing, and she felt exhausted and frustrated. 😓

When we started working together, we made a plan to gradually bring back those carbs she’d been avoiding—things like bread, pasta, and even desserts she loved but had been too afraid to eat. At first, it felt uncomfortable for her, but as she leaned into the process, she began to notice her energy levels improving. 🌟 And, after a few months of consistent fueling and trusting her body’s needs, her period came back! 🎉

It was such a powerful reminder that adding in those important nutrients and giving your body enough energy—especially from carbs—can make a huge difference in recovery. Period recovery isn’t about depriving yourself; it’s about nourishing your body fully. 🥖🍝🍪

So, instead of stressing over every bite or avoiding your favorite foods, focus on how you can add more variety and nutrients to your plate. Think of it as building up your body, not tearing it down. Your period recovery journey doesn’t have to be about sacrifice; it can be about finding a balance that allows you to enjoy food again and support your body in the process. 🌈💫

Remember, you deserve a life where you can enjoy what you eat without fear or guilt. It’s not about being perfect; it’s about listening to your body and giving it what it needs. 💛

I remember that feeling so clearly—wanting to recover my period and become a mom, but feeling completely overwhelmed and unsure if I’d ever get there. 💭

I used to think it was all about restriction and control, whether it was cutting out certain foods or sticking to intense workouts. But honestly, if I could go back and tell myself one thing, it would be this: sometimes, it’s not about doing more; it’s about doing less. 🤍

I wish I knew that my body needed me to slow down, rest, and nourish it fully. I was so focused on doing everything perfectly that I missed the most important piece—trusting that my body had the ability to heal when I gave it the chance. It needed enough food, enough carbs, fats, and nutrients, and it needed me to be kind to myself instead of pushing harder.

Letting go of control and focusing on truly supporting my body with what it needed—rest, food, and self-compassion—was a game changer. It wasn’t easy, but it made all the difference. 🌼

If you’re on the same journey, just know you’re not alone, and it’s okay to ask for help, to slow down, and to make changes that support your body rather than fight against it. Recovery takes time, but with patience and support, it is possible. Your dream of becoming a mom can absolutely come true. 🌸

Even if you’ve been missing your period for years, you’re not broken and period recovery is possible ❤️

Feeling like you may never get your period back? 🥺

I definitely felt this way also…😣

I felt like my body was broken, and many times felt like there was no hope in ever recovering it or ever having a family.

🌟But I want to tell you today that this was far from the truth!

❌My body wasn’t broken. It just needed some TLC in the form of rest and nutrition.

Recovering from hypothalamic amenorrhea isn’t easy… BUT it’s completely 💯 possible!

Don’t go down the thought pattern of thinking that maybe this isn’t going to work for you, that you’re an exception… because YOU’RE NOT!

My story is just 1 out of SOOO many women who also struggled, but were able to recover. (Just check out my client wins highlight reel for stories!)

So don’t let yourself doubt for a minute that this couldn’t be your story also… ❤️

And if you’re serious about wanting to recover your period, I’m excited to announce that I am taking applications for my Period Recovery & Rhythm Society group program! Comment the word “Society” to learn more!

Wanting to start your family like yesterday?? 🥺

I totally get it because I was there also! ❤️

Once you have that desire and realize that it’s taking longer than you’ve hoped, it can be so discouraging!🥺

💉When I was missing my period, I wanted to get pregnant ASAP and was told IVF was going to the be the only way to achieve this…

💸After multiple failed rounds of IVF, almost $40,000 later, and a crushed spirit, I was over it (to say the least).

It wasn’t until I actually made the necessary changes to my lifestyle and nutrition that I was able to get my period back and get pregnant naturally!🤰🏼

Have you been told your next step to starting your family is IVF??💉

I want to tell you from first hand experience that there’s another way! (And for a fraction of the cost… financially and emotionally)💕💕

Ready to recover your period and post your pregnancy announcement this fall??🤰🏼🍂

🌟I want to invite you to apply for my Period Recovery & Rhythm Society group program! The women in my group on average get their periods back within 8-12 weeks!

💫Comment the word “Apply” and I’ll send you more information on how I can help you get there too!

Still missing your period? 😣

Trying to get your period back can be so confusing sometimes because it goes against what mainstream culture tells us.

Here I am telling you to eat MORE and exercise LESS, when you’ve probably been told your whole life to do the opposite…🤦🏼‍♀️

So let’s get one thing straight, “healthy” is such a relative term! What may be “healthy” for one person, may not be what is “healthy” for you! 🫵🏻

🍽️Every client of mine who comes to me has struggled with going against what their picture of “healthy” is. They struggle with food rules like can’t have the same food twice in a day or can’t eat after a certain time, etc.

❌But let’s get something straight here, not having a period is NOT healthy!

What would it feel like for you if you didn’t have to worry about these food rules anymore and could actually enjoy life more?💫

📖Well I can tell you that this is what happened for my client Tara. Coming from a background of strict food rules and being afraid to venture outside of what she thought was “healthy”, we worked together to challenge these thoughts. She not only challenged these thoughts, but she put in the work, trusted the process, and got her period back within 7 weeks of starting my group program‼️✨

She mentioned to me how freeing it felt not only to get her period back, but to be able to enjoy more life along the way! ✨

👉🏻So what is keeping you from getting your period back and enjoying your life again?

🌟I am looking for 3 girls who are serious about ovulating and getting their period back before the end of 2024!

💫Comment the word “society” and I”ll send you more info on how we can make this happen!
