Welcome to Enlighten Nutrition Coaching!

Helping you shine your brightest through good nutrition and joy in Jesus!

Enlighten Nutrition Coaching LLC was created with a purpose to build the Kingdom and transform lives. After a season of listening and prayer, I felt the Lord had a renewed calling on my life—one that combined my passion for nutrition with my love for Jesus. In His faithfulness the Lord provided peace and direction around this new endeavor, and the courage and wisdom to start. And on October 31, 2023, Enlighten Nutrition Coaching was born!

WHY “ENLIGHTEN”?

The word enlighten means “the giving of spiritual light to the soul” and “a sign of health and vigor.” It’s the coming together of these things—the full meaning of enlighten—that brings true health and well-being. God created you with a body, soul and spirit. And because He created you with these interconnected parts, He designed you to care for all of them—together. It’s through this holistic approach and the transformative power of Jesus that we can experience the fullness of health as God designed it!

WHAT TO EXPECT

Whether you’re a dedicated athlete looking to improve performance through nutrition or a busy parent who wants to learn how to live a real-food lifestyle, you want to eat to beat inflammation or diabetes, or maybe you’re tired of being stuck in diet culture, Enlighten Nutrition Coaching is your ally. During your first session, we’ll build a strong foundation by focusing on your story—because your story matters! From there, we’ll determine your “why” and set measurable goals. Every session thereafter will be tailored specifically to you and designed to nourish your body, soul and spirit.

YOU’RE INVITED TO EXPERIENCE BETTER HEALTH

My purpose and calling is to help you experience the fullness of God’s design for health. Using my expertise in holistic nutrition, passion for the Scriptures and love for Jesus, we’ll work together to “enlighten” your life! Because when you live well, you bring light to the world - and that brings glory to our Father in heaven!

In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.
Matthew 5:16

THREE REASONS THE BIBLE CALLS US TO GOOD HEALTH

Taking care of your body is honoring to God!

1 Corinthians 6:19-20

Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body.

Having a healthy body strengthens you to live out your Kingdom purpose and calling.

1 Corinthians 9:27

I discipline my body like an athlete, training it to do what it should. Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others I myself might be disqualified.

Nourishing your body highlights the care and attention with which God has created you!

Psalm 139:14

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are
wonderful, I know that full well.
