Meet Gretchen

I’m a coffee-loving girl that’s been married for 35 years and a mom of three grown “kids”.

"A Powerful You!"

was created to inspire self-care and personal growth breakthroughs.

MY STORY

I was a sugar addict!

When my youngest son said, “Mommy I don’t think I have one sweet tooth, I think all my teeth are sweet.”, it was a wake-up call.

I felt like a failure, being the best mom to my kids was always my number one priority.

I was a sugar addict and, by my example, my kids were addicted to sugar too.

 I felt so much shame and guilt for all those trips to Dairy Queen for ice cream.

Breakdown!

I had to take a long look at my life; me as a mom

and just ME.

I saw that I was unhappy with me…my body, my health and I was self-medicating with sugar.

I decided I didn’t want to be that woman anymore and that my self-care cup was EMPTY.

I was so busy taking care of everyone else that I had stopped taking care on of ME. 

Breakdown!

I decided to get healthy. I started investing in myself.

I knew I had to address my sugar addiction and start eating healthy. Together with a homeopathic doctor,

I learned how to eat healthy nutritious food and how to prepare healthy meals for my family.

I learned to love healthy food, read labels, prep snacks and meals…
I started feeling more alive and vibrant.

And in the process, my kids learned to love vegetables…even brussels sprouts and broccoli! 

Breakthrough!

What is holding you back from your dreams?

"Being part of Gretchen's Self-Care Workshop gave me so much insight into myself and a new way to look at self-care. I felt heard and safe and learned tools. My most important take away was that self-care for me is learning to say No. Gretchen's experience combined with her natural ability to listen and truly hear everyone's journey and validate where they are in that journey allows each individual to gain what is right for them in that moment from her teachings. I highly recommend it."

"Gretchen makes everyone feel genuinely care for. She’s the listening ear, the shoulder to cry on, the hand that lifts you up out of your funk and the voice of reason when your own self-care has been neglected. Her own willingness toward vulnerability creates a safe, healing place for real talk and real connections. Every session fills my leaky cup!"
