Hello, I'm Juniper. I struggled with weight for most of my life, which led me to become a dietitian, a graduate degree in Nutritional Biochemistry, and training in functional medicine and energy healing. It also led me to many diets, feeling hopeless, and evening food binges. I was well-respected with a career in supplement research advising doctors. I was also stiff, stressed, and 100 pounds overweight. My busy life left me collapsed on the couch at night too drained to do anything but watch mindless TV. I would eat (healthy food!) until bedtime and still be empty. I had constant food cravings, and was on medication for depression and anxiety. Then in 2018, my husband left me. Now I was on my own and going to have to start dating again. I had been taking care of everyone for so long, I couldn't even remember what I liked?!

I had recently been hypnotized to a low-carb diet (which I had tried before many times without success). For the first time, I had to face my feelings through divorce without leaning on comfort eating. I knew what to eat, but learning how to process my feelings and cope with life in ways that didn't involve food was new. There was a lot of self-reflection, inner child work, facing fears, and tears. I hired coaches and read books. The mental food chatter stopped and I lost weight, but that didn't matter as much as everything else. There were new friends who honored self-growth and dancing. I became happier and less stressed. I allow myself to do less. I dated, at first with the same patterns of my failed marriage, then with more ease and confidence. I became happy alone, because I love myself and my life. Now, and as it continues to expand. Even on the bad days! I call my business Vibrant Juicy Life because when we stop leaning on food, life gets richer and better.

Once I figured it out, I realized my struggle had been my journey. Now I wanted to help others trapped in the same hopelessness and personal shame that I had been. Because women deserve more. I deserved more. In addition to my dietitian and functional medicine training, I became a certified yoga teacher, EFT practitioner, NLP practitioner, Hypnotherapist, and coach. I trained in quantum energy healing. This means I can help untangle your blocks faster, and on all levels. I wish I'd had a "me"! 

Society has told women we must look a certain way to be valued. Meanwhile, we have generations of encoded fears and beliefs, and limited guidance on how to handle our emotions and overwhelming responsibilities. You're not too much, you need new beliefs and tools. Women are meant to change the world.
