Grow Your Green Lifestyle Company Information: I am originally from the Peoria area but moved out west after high school to pursue my first degree and see the world. I love the outdoors and lived in Wyoming for 8 years. I explored all sorts of fun activiites there including horseback riding, rugby, hiking, backpacking, winter camping, summer camping, broomball, snowshoeing, cross country and downhill skiing, and more. I moved back to the Midwest in 2006 to pursue my Master's Degree at ISU. I started dating my husband during that time (though we had known each other since high school). I graduated in 2008 and was very fortunate to find work as a hydrogeologist right here in Peoria, IL (a total miracle). My husband and I were married in 2010. Ella joined our family in 2012. I was planning on stay a hydrogeologist forever but by the time Ella was 18 months old I knew I would need to change my career. Working many hours and carryin the stress of a full-time corporate job did not blend well with the type of mother I wanted to be. It was that realization that led me into the world of entrepreneurship. I launched my first business with essential oils in 2014. A year later I left my corporate job. I have grown my business beyond just oils and now have plans to travel and speak about wellness in businesses and local venues. I'm also working on my first book. My particular passion is helping women find a path to wellness that works for them in spite of their very full schedules. I sacrificed my health for many years because I felt I was "too busy" to take up the utimate eating plan or exercise program. Those were the only 2 ways I knew of to "get healthy". But in 2015 I found myself in a health crisis due to the many years of pushing myself to the limit. Since then I have dsicovered there are many ways to care for my body that help me feel my best right now. And it was those wellness practices that have helped me recover my health and to heal faster from 2 accidents that occured in 2019 (severely broken leg in a skiing accident and a car accident). I am on a mission to share these wellness practices with other women so that we can all feel confident about getting older and feeling our best right now and in the years to come.
