Hi, I'm Lucy!

It’s been over 10 years and still the best part of any day is spent chatting with clients that are fed up with conflicting and confusing nutrition and diet information online - instead, they've chosen to live Well Balanced.

I grew up with a health-conscious mom who also let me eat Pop-Tarts and Ramen noodles through High School because she knew when to pick her battles. When I turned 15, I started doing yoga and going to the gym with her. That’s where my interest in a healthy balanced life began (I know, I could’ve done better than Pop-Tarts!).

When I got to the University of Dayton for college, I thought EVERYONE would be knocking down the doors for a chance to talk about food and exercise all day. Turns out I'm a little weird… but that is what helps make the Well Balanced way more fun and delicious for my clients. It's a personal journey for everyone and I'm here to be your guide to create the best path to your health and well-being. Together we can tackle emotional eating tendencies, eating the best food for your body, and help you confidently answer the question: “what’s for dinner?”

In addition to offering one-on-one coaching, I am an author and motivational speaker.

When not at work, you can find me walking in the woods, practicing yoga and meditation, making new friends or helping out in my community. I enjoy the many state and national parks in NC and love a great backpacking adventure.

Hey! I'm Kristen. I'm passionate about helping you have more energy to do what you love with the people you love. I truly enjoy helping you find your personal path to health and happiness because I know there is no one-size-fits-all approach. You deserve an empathetic coach that takes the time to listen to your story and build a plan to wellness that is as unique as you are. I'd love to be that coach for you.

Work with me in Clemmons, NC or online.

My wellness journey: I wasn’t always a healthy eater. My curiosity for nutrition began in elementary school when I desired to have more energy to get through gymnastics practice. I was so interested that I borrowed a nutrition textbook and began taking notes. Even after learning the basics, I struggled because being the picky eater that I was made eating the right foods tough. From then on I decided to study nutrition in college.

Slowly, I began to branch out and love a variety of healthy foods, but as I navigated life I realized I had another problem: emotional eating. It was in college and the early stages of motherhood that I struggled the most. It wasn't until Lucy and I partnered up and studied several eye-opening books together that I felt in control of emotional eating and my well-being. It is so freeing to have the strategies and tools that I need. It's that feeling that motivates me to empower others by sharing these same strategies and tools so they too can overcome barriers in order to feel their best.
