I’m a Registered Nurse and Certified Health Coach who really believed that if it something wasn’t safe, they wouldn’t sell it. I created Aligned Rituals because I quickly realized we are genuinely confused on what being healthy means. I was confused too, but through my own health journey, my passion for helping others create a low-toxic sustainable lifestyle developed.

When I first started my fitness journey 7 years ago, I was hyper-focused on what I was “supposed” to do. I fell for all the marketing tricks and tried the miracle detox teas and fad diets. After doing all the things I thought were “healthy,” I started wondering - why at 20 years old, do I feel like crap everyday?

It wasn’t until I started working in the hospital as an RN that I realized people were coming in with the same chronic diseases. Everyday people would come in, the medical team would manage the symptoms, and then they would be discharged with minimal education on why the symptom arose to begin with or how to prevent it from reoccurring. I felt like I was providing a band-aid fix until I saw them again months later.

This is when I began my own research and learned just how powerful low-tox living is when it comes to prevention. The chemicals in our food and in our environment are root causes for SO many health issues, and it was not even mentioned in nursing school. When I eliminated certain inflammatory ingredients, and swapped out my products for cleaner alternatives, I started feeling more like ‘me’ again. I was able to eat without bloating or stomach pain, my acne started going away, I didn’t need mid-day naps anymore, my headaches stopped, my body looked less inflamed… I just didn’t know how much everyday toxins affected me until they were removed from my lifestyle.
