HI, I’M MB
It all started with 8 year old Marybeth styling plates of apples and cheese, stalking her childhood cat, Charcoal, with a disposable Barbie camera and combing through the stacks of a downtown library.
Before I dove head first into 10+ years in prehospital and emergency medicine, and ended up where I am now - I had a creative childhood that fostered a love for food & learning.
This is a space dedicated to nudging us all toward living well one day at a time.
The driving force in my life is and has always been rooted in a desire to enrich and impact the lives of others;
that's translated as a career in prehospital & austere medicine and work as an adjunct professor -
now it looks like Life Coaching, space-holding, encouraging creativity and self-acceptance through food, and facilitating authentic storytelling through a few visual mediums.
My daily life and work currently reside somewhere in the midst of creating through photography, filmmaking, and writing, life and mindset coaching, travel & connecting with nature, and championing community wellness.
I'm sure this still sounds like a lot, to many of you, but to me this combination of leaning in is a natural way to come back home to myself (the creative little girl styling her food), while respecting my own need for constant growth and learning.
It's easy to see now that what I loved in the first place came back with a vengeance.
On that note, a belief I hold closely: Our true nature is always a few steps of intuitive action away.
I'm so glad you're here.
What I
Value
Time in nature, empathy, unapologetically following one's path, slow meals with friends, authenticity and vulnerability. Also homemade sourdough bread (say hi to Hamish, my starter).
my go to
Morning Rituals
A barefoot walk in the moss, candle-lit snuggles with my dog Mr. Clarence, journaling, meditation, breathwork, movement, & setting intentions for the day and concocting some kind of delicious warm beverage.
What I'm
not about
Diet or hustle culture, body-shaming, non-stop screen time, blatant or subtle racism, ableism & sexism, late invoice payments, beating around the bush. Also bowtie pasta, it's the worst pasta.
what I
believe
That the true definition of wellness goes far beyond green smoothies & yoga retreats - it involves everyone having access to basic needs as well as a feeling and state of wellbeing
ON MY MOODBOARD
"let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you
It will never lead you astray"
really love.
