From Surviving
Food Stress to Thriving in a Mind-Body Rhythm

**With ridiculously fun and delicious monthly inspo to eat the foods you AND your body love!**

Are you stuck in that awkward gap?

The truth is, our digestion and emotions are deeply connected. In our fast-paced world, we’re losing touch with the rhythms that support real nourishment.

You know what to eat. But doing it?
That’s the hard part!

A woman reading a product label in a grocery store.

Especially when
it’s 6pm and:

Cheese feels like a valid dinner option
Your stomach’s still negotiating with yesterday’s takeout
You’re scanning every label for sneaky ingredients that could ruin your night

All my anti-inflammatory recipes are lower in sugar, protein-rich, and gluten-free, but with swaps for gluten-lovers, too!

That’s where I come in.

Hi, I’m Nicole!

I’m part practical kitchen bestie, part emotional support human 🙂

I’m not here to overhaul your life or guilt-trip your pantry. Together, we’ll find your rhythm—with gluten-free meal planning for families.”

“You are my #1 source for encouragement, delicious recipes, and hope.

I’ve been severely ill since 2015, and honestly, I believe food is the only medicine that can help me now. More than all the drugs or tests or alternative stuff—what I put in my body matters most. Thank you for supporting me with high-protein recipes with natural sweeteners I love!!

If this sounds like a deep cleansing breath…

Then you’re in the right place. ↓

This Membership IS for You If…

You believe whole, unprocessed foods can help your body feel steady
You deal with bloating, food anxiety, or food allergies
You’re looking for high-protein recipes, gluten-free meal plans, with natural sweeteners—without losing your mind (or flavor)
You recognize that mindfulness matters—not just for your mind, but for your belly too
You’re ready to transform your relationship with stress with easy healthy meals for families

**This Membership ISN’T for You If…**

You’re looking for strict rules or a medical diagnosis
You want a one-size-fits-all meal plan and done-for-you everything
You don’t believe in the mind-gut connection
If it can’t be microwaved or peeled like a banana, it’s not happening
Your idea of healing is quick fixes without addressing root causes
You want to eliminate stress completely rather than learn to move through it

YES, THIS IS ME

It’s About Nourishment Beyond the Plate

Stress has you stuck in fight-or-flight

The modern reality? Your mind and gut are in constant conversation. And most of us are too busy, too wired, or too overwhelmed to hear what they’re saying.

When your gut feels off, everything feels off—your sleep, your mood, your presence. It becomes nearly impossible to feel joy, peace, and light.

What if you could find a sacred rhythm that brings your body and mind back into harmony?

This Isn’t Just a Recipe Club!

It’s where gentle nutrition meets mindfulness—helping you nourish both body and mind in one deliciously supportive space!

Yes, This is Me!

It’s not your fault that our food system prioritizes convenience over nourishment. But you don’t have to accept that as your destiny!

Your Gentle Foodie Transformation Starts Here

Where the rubber spatula meets the mixing bowl.

The four stages of the Gentle Foodie Life Membership Transformation.

This isn’t a crash course—Just 4 simple steps to go from “this is overwhelming” to “ohhh, I’ve got this!”

1. KITCHEN GROUNDING

You’re creating calm from chaos

You’re swapping the panic for a plan. Breathing between bites. Starting to feel like maybe you’ve got this.

2. GENTLE RHYTHM

You’re building sustainable habits

Your body starts cheering you on. You’re not just getting through meals—you’re flowing with them.

3. KITCHEN CONFIDENCE

You’re trusting your choices

You swap this, skip that, and still feel good about it. You’re starting to trust your gut—literally and emotionally.

4. GENTLE FOODIE

You’re thriving and inspiring others

You’re feeling better, showing up calmer—and your relationship with food has transformed from stress to joy. What once felt like a daily battle is now a source of nourishment and peace.

YES, I NEED THIS TOO

This is the support I couldn’t find—so I made it for both of us.

I’ve been where you are—spiraling from food stress and anxiety, and thinking, “Why can’t I just figure this out?”

Five years ago, my body staged an intervention. I was juggling anxiety, digestive discomfort, and a nervous system on overdrive. Meals felt overwhelming. Social events felt impossible. Even a simple snack came with stress.

We can’t eliminate stress, but we can stabilize ourselves to move through it. Even a single food swap can quiet anxiety—I know because I live it!

I’m not a dietitian—I’m a creative home cook who makes real food work for real life.

With six kids, a burpy gut, and zero patience for fussy ingredients, I’ve spent years turning food stress into something that feels manageable—and most importantly fun and delicious.

“Gentle isn’t passive—it’s the most powerful way forward to vibrant peace and grace.”

Come with me!

You’re in the right place. Everything is designed to be gentle on your gut, with ingredient swaps and flexible recipes that won’t leave you guessing.

Nope. If you can stir, toast, and maybe use a blender, you’re good. Think “cozy home cook” vibes—not Top Chef.
