HEY, I’M CHAr...
HOLISTIC NUTRITIONIST, NATURAL LIFESTYLE CONTENT CREATOR, & glow getter!
ABOUT ME:
With a focus on helping people GLOW through living a vibrant life that focuses on holistic heath & wellness, this website is my space (and yours now, too!) where I share my wisdom as a plant-based holistic nutritionist, natural lifestyle content creator & as a passionate natural-minded mama. In order to shine bright, we need to do this together, which is how I know you're here for the right reasons! I'm a forever student constantly passing on what I learn to you because when we know better, we do better & that's my goal as I live from this natural health space. And also because…
your life is meant to glow.
I felt the calling for something bigger when I became pregnant with my daughter back in 2012. I was already back in school completing my second degree in Applied Human Nutrition (first was in Linguistic Cognitive Science), but getting ready to have a child shifted something in me. I started asking questions I never did before & got curious. I couldn't continue doing what I was doing from a health standpoint because it didn't feel right in my heart. I got my researching hat on, started making small shifts (because this is where I believe it leads to big magic overtime—what I like to refer to as ‘blueprinting’), and started down the holistic health & wellness road.
I created my blog many years ago, but as I took this new adventure into health, I couldn't help but share what I was learning & doing...and I still continue to do that to this day!
And the good news is this... health & wellness is a journey, much like life, and the good part about that is anyone can hop in & join us at anytime. My time came when I was about to have a tiny human; maybe yours is something much larger or even much smaller. The good part is that it doesn't matter. But you're here for a reason and ready to explore more!
So, how can we use this space together?
I am here (100%) to give you the tools to find + embrace your own glow. The glow that leads to you feeling your best self...for real. So if you want to shine together, just know that I am always here as your guide + friend. No matter where you are, I meet you on the way. That's the beauty in the journey ;)
You were meant to shine bright. To be your best self that only YOU know. To really embrace the GLOW life.
So now that you know what you're here for - let's hang. Check things out around here & just know I'm only an email/chat away!
Love + light,
Char

I’ve made it my life’s mission to help show people how to truly GLOW in their life through lifestyle + nutrition choices. Whether it be through my offerings or browsing through the content on my website, I hope we can glow a little brighter together!
Although my main focuses are holistic nutrition & natural health, I also knew + saw value in the fact that there was more to explore to enhance, ahem glow up, this life experience. I’ve studied, read, researched, learnt & grown in so many other areas, which is why I now invite you to glow with me in them & beyond (check out where my curiosities have led me + see what I’m currently loving here)! What better time to step into the amazing possibility of what it means to live a life that has you beaming from your daily actions + intentions. That’s what it I hope you’ll experience here in our time together.

a little bit more about me…
It seems fitting to have this pic of me in Moon Juice from my trip to Cali in June 2022 to tell a bit more about myself as they’re one of my fave wellness brands that you can find me sipping on to support my glow. I’m a big lover of them + any other brand that vows to help support wellness, cares about the planet, and sources some good stuff. I basically filter everything through that lens now as I’m constantly trying to live a more awesome + glowing life.
When I’m not busy slurpin’ down superfoods, I’m spending time with my hubby & two kiddos, shopping at the farmers’ market on Saturdays, and whippin’ up delicious plant-based meals.
In my constant need to be curious & ask questions about everything, I’ve done + learnt some pretty cool stuff. I do truly think that glowing in your health comes down to lifestyle as a whole & why I find myself interested in SO many different topics (which is why I can’t wait to find the next thing and keep learning keep spreading the love).
I started blogging back in 2011 as my outlet (which has evolved into this…) to share all that I’ve learnt + to help others truly glow up their lives. I have no intention to stop & why it has evolved to now share through my offerings (consults, programs, etc), especially since my more immediate focus over the past decade has been to my daughter and son. They’re the whole reason for what I do & why I started on this holistic journey in the first place, so I have them to thank for it all!
thanks so much for learning about me!
