How 🍋Eat Happy started…

Hi, I’m Jackie—a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP) and HTMA Specialist, but more importantly, someone who truly understands what it’s like to struggle with your health and feel like you’re not getting the full picture.

At Eat Happy, I believe that your body is on your side—it just needs the right tools to thrive. Through personalized nutrition strategies, I empower women to listen to their bodies, make informed choices, and experience lasting transformation. Whether you're navigating chronic symptoms, digestive issues, or hormonal imbalances, I’m here to help you find balance, energy, and a renewed relationship with food.

I was born with congenital hypothyroidism and was told that if I just took my medication, all my issues would be solved. But what no one told me was how much nutrition, lifestyle, sleep, and key cofactors played a massive role in my health. It took years of learning, trial, and personal experience to uncover the missing pieces, and once I did, everything changed.

Before diving into nutritional therapy, I spent 11 years as an elementary teacher—and I’ve always had a passion for building relationships and helping others. While teaching, I started health coaching, which helped me regain movement after having my son, but I soon realized there was still a BIG missing piece: nutrition. Not just for me, but for everyone I wanted to help.

That realization led me to become a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and HTMA Specialist, where I now help women uncover the root causes of their imbalances—whether it’s thyroid health, gut issues, hormone imbalances, or adrenal fatigue. I’ve personally navigated my own healing journey, including balancing my thyroid hormones naturally, healing leaky gut, clearing acne breakouts, overcoming estrogen dominance, and restoring my energy. And now, I can’t wait to share this possibility of natural healing with YOU!

At Eat Happy, I use a combination of Nutritional Therapy, HTMA testing, Functional Testing, and previous knowledge from working alongside a Functional Nutritionist as a health Coach. Beyond the science, my goal is to make you feel truly seen, supported, and empowered in your health journey.

I’m here to help you take small, attainable steps toward feeling amazing in your skin again. I’ll be your biggest cheerleader, guiding you toward a deeper understanding of your body and helping you create lasting change.

Are you ready to work with your body instead of feeling like it’s working against you? Let’s do this together!
