How are we almost closing out month one of the new year? I swear back in May when I was “officially” certified as a holistic health coach I said to myself that I would start a blog and get myself out there.. i knew nothing about starting a blog yet I knew I wanted to have my own just because I wanted a space to share and educate those individuals that have my same interests. I had already picked a name which I love because I truly feel it’s a perfect fit. It incorporates the name Grace which is meaningful to me as it was my grandmothers name.. and I preach about balance.. we all need it.. no matter where you are in your life, if we aren’t balanced we can’t not function or be happy for that matter! So Gracefully Balanced was born💚

For me working full time and being a wife and mommy of two, I kept putting this whole passion of mine on the back burner. Trying to stay balanced with being a great everything to everyone.. however somethings will always fall to the wayside and usually it’s yourself! In this case I have done a pretty good job this past year of giving my all to both my home and my job however where I failed to make time was for me! I am genuinely in my glory every single time I have had the chance to talk to someone about anything regarding a holistic approach to wellness.

I truly believe that food is medicine and I also believe that you need to balance and live and enjoy as well! You will learn that I am a crazy label reader.. I have this idea that I will become a food activist one day and help make a difference in our food regulations. It drives me up a wall to know how many things we allow in our foods yet they are banned in other countries! I am that person in my local Wegmans that spends a good two hours shopping just because I truly enjoy it! My mission is to help families live a healthier more balanced lifestyle in a practical way. What I mean by that is I can help educate you on labels and which ingredients to stay away from. I can help you find substitutions for those things you love however are not made with ingredients to keep us well. I will give you ideas on meals and recipes for those meals if you would like. Any tips or tricks I have learned along the way in my research as well as my education with IIN! I am here to share with you.. to get to know you.. and to hopefully help support you or teach you something each time you visit me at Gracefully Balanced.
