Hi!

I’m Candace, and I want people to see that eating nutritious food and staying active doesn’t have to be complicated - it can even be fun!

I’m a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and have my Bachelor of Arts in Business Management and Psychology from Emmanuel College.

My food blog, From The Roots, provides easy, family-friendly recipes that are also healthy! My dishes explore ways of pruning up classic favorites, whether it be with a southern flair or just introducing a new kind of health that is fun, flavor-packed, and satisfying. 

My wellness tips and healthy but delicious recipes have been featured in publications including Bliss Woman Magazine and Empress Magazine. Featured in podcasts: Mobility Athletes Radio with Dr. Nicole Woodard and Nourishing and Nurturing with Michelle Tagge, FNTP.  In addition, I have worked with dozens of brands and companies through my blog, including Organic Girl, Sperry, Birch Benders, Hu Kitchen, Siete Foods, Primal Kitchen, Stash Tea, Organifi, Bob’s Red Mill, Good Karma Foods, and many more. 

In addition to blogging, I have my own nutrition counseling private practice, work as a fitness group instructor, and nutritionist for multiple gyms in Hartwell, GA.

My goal as a practitioner is to have you feeling your absolute best by the time we are finished working together. I am dedicated to educating, motivating, and empowering others on how to break the cycle of the “quick fix” and “one size fits all” diet.

We are all unique individuals and what works for one person is not necessarily going to work for the next. I believe in bio-individual nutrition; i.e. listening to your body and taking the time to discover what foods work best for YOU!

You are not alone in this journey, I will be here to support you, guide you, and encourage you every step of the way. Together we will transform your body from the inside out. 

My journey towards health and wellness began while climbing the corporate ladder in the field of business management. I began to feel incredibly anxious at the thought of the corporate world being my life. During this time, food became therapeutic to me. My kitchen became the space I longed to return to, even after an exhausting workday. The pleasure I found in food and in cooking, and the journey of health and wellness, is something I want to help others experience as well.
