Hi, I’m Leah, Integrative Health Practitioner, RN, Homeschooling Mom & Founder of Streams of Rest

For years, I poured myself into nursing, motherhood, and marriage juggling the demands of being a busy homeschooling mom while trying to support my husband in pastoral ministry. I kept telling myself I was fine, that I just needed a little more sleep, a little more coffee, a little more strength.

But underneath the surface, my body was quietly pleading for rest.
I ignored the signs for far too long.

Then, life changed in a way I never imagined.
Stepping into widowhood while raising my children and trying to carry the weight of everything on my own became a breaking point emotionally, physically, and spiritually.

I wasn’t just tired.
I was depleted, overwhelmed, and running on empty.
What I needed was restoration at the deepest level: body, mind, and spirit.

That journey is what led me into functional medicine and ultimately birthed Streams of Rest: a faith-centered space where worn-out women can reconnect with calm, clarity, and God’s sustaining presence.

Today, I help both men and women who feel stretched thin, burned out, or disconnected from themselves finally understand what their bodies are trying to communicate. Using functional wellness principles, nervous system support, nourishing rhythms, holistic nutrition, and Biblical truth, I guide my clients toward genuine rest not the Band-Aid kind, but the soul-deep, life-changing kind.

As a homeschooling mom navigating life after loss, I know what it’s like to carry heavy loads, to show up for others while feeling poured out, and to desperately need a place to breathe again.

I can’t wait to help you find your way to healing and true rest!

Leah
