I created, Rest & Roots, as a nurturing space for moms to connect, share, and grow together on their journey of motherhood.

Beyond guiding parents, Jamie is passionate about empowering kids to develop a healthy relationship with food. She equips parents with tools for meaningful conversations about nutrition and works directly with children to instill lifelong habits of balance and mindfulness.
