More About Me….

A Green Path

I began my professional journey as a licensed cosmetologist in California, with over a decade of experience, including seven years working at ROOTS The Beauty Underground, a pioneer in non-toxic beauty. At ROOTS, I practiced and refined my skills in clean beauty and non-toxic self-care, performing natural beauty services and deepening my understanding of how non-toxic ingredients impact our health and well-being.

Beauty-based self-care was a powerful catalyst, awakening my awareness of the importance of “natural” not only for our external health but for our inner wellness. During this time, I dedicated myself to learning more about natural beauty and wellness, exploring clean, green ingredients, plant-based benefits, and skin health. This journey cultivated my passion for sharing the benefits of natural living and empowering others to make mindful, health-centered choices. I studied Clean, Green, and Natural Beauty as well as Facial Anatomy, Skin Health, Non-Toxic Ingredients, and Plant Benefits.

Student of Wellness

II consider myself a lifelong student of wellness, continuously exploring ways to enhance health, happiness, and personal growth. My curiosity has led me to study a range of natural and holistic practices, from vibrational healing and essential oil therapy to breathwork, biohacking, and yoga. Each of these practices has deepened my understanding of how we can use nature, energy, and mindfulness to support our well-being.

This pursuit of wellness is a journey of discovery—one where I’m constantly learning new methods and insights that I’m eager to share. Through these studies, I aim not only to improve my own health but also to bring practical, effective tools to others looking to live a more balanced, empowered life. For me, wellness is an evolving path, one that enriches both the mind and spirit in the pursuit of a better, more vibrant self.

Happy Homesteader

Living on a small ranch in San Diego has brought my family and me closer to nature in the most meaningful ways. Homesteading isn’t just a lifestyle for us—it’s a form of ecotherapy. Each day spent in the garden, tending animals, or harvesting food allows us to connect with the earth and find calm in the rhythm of farm life. Through these hands-on, grounding activities, we experience the healing power of nature, bringing a sense of balance, peace, and purpose.

Farm life has also become a shared journey. My children and I learn together about patience, responsibility, and the beauty of growth, creating a family bond strengthened by our time in nature. Our days are filled with fresh air, hard work, and joy, and we love sharing our homesteading adventures on the blog and in the Naturalphile shop. For us, the farm is more than home—it’s our sanctuary and our source of inspiration.

Founding Naturalphile

Naturalphile was born out of my personal journey toward a life filled with intention, balance, and a deep connection to the natural world. Over time, I experienced firsthand how natural living transformed not only my physical health but also my mental clarity, emotional well-being, and sense of purpose. This shift inspired me to create a space where others could experience these profound benefits for themselves—a place where natural living is accessible, empowering, and deeply fulfilling.

I wanted Naturalphile to be more than just a resource; I envisioned it as a supportive community where people can explore, learn, and share in their pursuit of a healthier, more harmonious life. Here, you’ll find tools and education to help you make mindful choices, reconnect with nature, and embrace practices that nourish both the body and soul. My hope is that Naturalphile becomes a trusted guide for those seeking not just wellness, but a lifestyle that celebrates the wisdom of the earth.

Together, we can tap into nature’s incredible power, align our lives with its rhythms, and discover a path that leads to greater health, happiness, and fulfillment. Naturalphile is here to support you on this journey every step of the way, helping you become empowered through the beauty and wisdom of the natural world.
