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.
For the longest time, I never made the connection that glowing health started by how you treated your body & what you put into it. I was a mess of wanting quick fixes while also continuing to eat crappy, yet still expecting the (unrealistic) results I was looking for. This was nowhere close to living a life that glows...
It wasn't until I got pregnant with my daughter in 2012 that my eyes opened for the first time. It literally took growing another human to start expressing concerns about the current things I was doing...and from there, making changes that were actually beneficial + realistic. Reducing toxins, looking at food quality + diversity, shifting my mindset were just a few of those things...
This was the start to something glowing.
From there, I dove into the holistic health world. I studied human and holistic nutrition & various other avenues, read + watched + listened to a ton of resources, tried + tested things out, increased my health + vitality through these things, and then wanted to do the same for others.
What I've learnt is there's no 'quick fix' to health, but instead, showing up everyday because you know you matter and you're worthy of living a life that glows.
That's what we'll do together in this space as we embrace the glow that we're all worthy of! Let's do this!!
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.

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!
