Michelle Pettengill, LCSW

Feeling Drained, Wired, and Pulled in Every Direction? I get it—because I’ve lived it. Juggling work, parenting, stress, and a constant swirl of worries, I didn’t realize how much my nutrition, my thoughts, and my lack of self-care were draining me every day. You might be thinking: • “If I just grab something quick to eat, I’ll feel better…” • “If I ignore this headache, it’ll go away…” • “If I keep pushing myself, I’ll finally get ahead…” • “If I stop, everything will fall apart…” By the end of the day, your body is heavy, your mind is racing, and sleep feels impossible. But it doesn’t have to stay this way. What if you could: ✓ Have gentler, quieter thoughts ✓ Fuel your body with foods that actually help you feel calm ✓ Feel more present, more rested, and more like you I am here to tell you, I have been there! When I thought this life would never turn around, it did! This is doable!!! Let’s work together to help you reset your nervous system—through small daily shifts in nutrition, self-care, and routine—so you can finally feel balanced, energized, and supported. Let’s Build a Plan That Works for You Together, we’ll create a simple, doable plan—designed to move at your own pace and help you feel more regulated, more rested, and more you.
