Hi! I’m Mary Beth, founder of NOURISH talk walk flow grow.

For a long time, I did “all the things.” I believed that if I just worked harder on myself— learned more, ran more, drank more green juice, did more— eventually I would arrive at some healed, fully figured-out version of me.

That didn’t happen.

Instead life began asking me to show up differently. A running injury forced me to stop moving in the ways I always had and stay still. Sobriety introduced me to a presence I once thought impossible. Mothering taught me patience, grace, and a kind of self-compassion I had never known. The pandemic challenged me to trust the practice I was building and take my work outside. Grief and loss clarified what mattered most.

That healed, fully figured-out version of myself still hasn’t arrived. And honestly, I don’t believe she ever will. What I discovered instead was that the goal was never to feel better or become someone new. It was to become better at feeling– and to remember my own goodness. ‍

It’s gritty, slow, and disorienting — yet so powerful.

From this place, I built NOURISH.

I used to think this work would make life easier. What I know now is that this work doesn’t protect us from life’s challenges. It actually expands our capacity to meet them and stay present for this wild ride called life.

My work is rooted in both science and art, brain and body, structure and spaciousness.

Here at NOURISH, I believe:

where you are today does not define who you are
you know you best
not every question can be answered by AI
nature nurtures
mood follows action
growth happens in wild places, not perfectly manicured ones

What They Say

“Mary Beth has helped me to heal more in the short time that we have worked together than decades of psychiatrists and other therapists.”

Outside the office

I’m human, still figuring this all out too.

I’m a mom, wife, daughter, friend, sister. By nature, I’m very active and on-the-go. You’ll often find me outside running, walking my dogs, adventuring and exploring with family and friends. As I’ve gotten older though, I’ve come to embrace a slower pace and quieter moments. I’m less interested in outcomes and more interested in what unfolds along the way. And, most mornings, it’s coffee first.
