My Story

Regular medicine failed me over and over. I was never heard. I was made to believe it was all in my head.

​​​Since I was a little girl, I had numerous health struggles and no answers. I started passing out from stomach pain and had test after test, only for my parents to be told that I had a low pain tolerance. This repeated for years, and in college it was chalked up to IBS. Finally, at 25, I saw a more integrative doctor and was diagnosed with celiac disease.

 

In between all of that, in high school, I developed an eating disorder. I was hardly eating 600 calories a day and overexercising. That turned into binge eating and yo-yo dieting for years. I am happy to say that I have learned what and how to eat for my body, have found true food freedom, and feel the best I ever have.

​

Then in 2018, I hit what I can only describe as the lowest time in my life, mentally and physically. My hair fell out, my skin was breaking out in rashes, I developed asthma, I had horrible insomnia, my gut issues were worse than ever, and I had multiple food sensitivities. I found out I had been living in mold and had developed chronic inflammatory response syndrome. That's when I found low-tox living and root-cause healing.

​

Shortly after, I decided to get off hormonal birth control after 10 years. It took 4 months for my period to return and I developed horrible acne. Thankfully, over the years I learned exactly what my body, cycle, and skin needed, and I haven't had acne or painful periods in years.

​

When COVID hit, I went back and got my holistic nutritionist and holistic health coach certifications. After the twins were born and I went back to work, I felt like something was just missing. I officially started Hartman Holistic, unsure where it would go, and it has grown into something that has exceeded my wildest expectations.

​

Along the way, I experienced 2 back to back pregnancy losses and learned how to heal from them physically and emotionally. I learned how to support my nervous system and go deeper with testing and my own protocol for both myself and my husband. Through it all, my faith in God has gotten me through the hardest seasons of my life, and it is woven into everything I do.

​

In God's perfect timing, and after a season of waiting and healing in every aspect, I am now pregnant with our third baby. We are so excited to welcome our healthy baby boy in January. ​

​

Since starting this business over 3 years ago, I've gotten the chance to join so many women on their healing journeys, and it has been unbelievable. Women having periods that come without any pain (they don't even feel them coming). Women finally experiencing clear skin, reduced cravings, less bloating, and feeling amazing in their bodies. Watching the lights turn on when they understand what's going on in their bodies all month and how to support it. And watching them walk into pregnancy with ease and confidence, getting and staying pregnant. It has been better than I could have ever imagined.

​

I believe everything I have been through allows me to help women on a deeper level, beyond just my credentials. I know what it feels like to be dismissed, to be told it is all in your head. To be told your bloodwork is normal while you know in your gut something has to be off. To watch and feel your body change and have no one be able to tell you why. And I know what it feels like to come out the other side.

​

When our bodies are speaking to us through our cycles, our symptoms, and our gut health, they are trying to tell us something. I never want a woman to feel the way I felt, and getting to walk women through that healing is a gift I will never take for granted.

​

At Home

I'm married to my best friend, Ben. He is my biggest supporter and the reason I am able to do what I do. Together we have boy-girl twins (4 years old) and a baby boy on the way.

​

Outside of Work

I love dogs, and we have a shepherd mix named Theo. Last year I got into fiction reading, and it was one of the best things I've ever done for my brain. I am a Kansas City Chiefs and Ohio State football fan. I am extremely focused on supporting my nervous system and doing things every day that bring joy, peace, and calm. I spend a lot of time in prayer, on walks, and with God. I also love a great gluten-friendly restaurant and making healthy meals and treats for our family.

​

For most of my life, I struggled with my cycle without really understanding why. I experienced severe bloating, cramps, nausea, acne, irregular cycles, blood sugar issues, and GI problems from an undiagnosed gluten allergy. I also struggled with my weight and spent years believing I simply needed more discipline or to eat less.

​

That changed when I started working with Dana. She taught me how to properly nourish my body, balance my blood sugar, and better understand my hormones and cycle. As I began seeing changes in my health, I became passionate about learning more about nutrition and holistic health. I discovered that small, sustainable changes - from the foods I ate to the products I used in my home - could have a meaningful impact on how I felt.​​

Today, I’m a NASM-certified nutrition coach and personal trainer, and I’m passionate about helping women feel more confident and connected to their bodies. Having experienced my own struggles, I understand how overwhelming it can feel to know something isn’t right but not know where to start.

​

As an assistant coach, I love supporting women through that process and reminding them that they don’t have to change everything at once. Sometimes, one small, sustainable change can be the beginning of something much bigger.

​

OUTSIDE OF WORK

I’ve love spending time with my boyfriend and our family, especially my niece and nephew. I’m also a proud dog mom to my six-year-old Belgian Malinois.

​

I’m happiest outdoors and love backpacking, hiking, snowboarding, and exploring with my dog. I also enjoy yoga, working out, cooking, thrifting, and relaxing with a favorite show.

I loved getting personalized responses and advice from Dana. She leads a busy life and has to truly dedicate time in her day to remember each persons story and personalize the advice she gives and she does it so beautifully.
