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 transform into 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'm not waiting for her anymore. Turns out, growth isn’t simply about feeling better or becoming someone new. It’s about getting better at feeling, accepting life’s messy nature, and learning to trust what I know to be true. ‍

From this place, I built NOURISH.

NOURISH began by the ocean in Rhode Island and now calls the mountains near Bozeman, Montana home. From Field Notes: The Truth Is, Home Came with Me

My work draws from 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

Outside the office

I’m still figuring this all out too.

I’m a wife, mom, daughter, friend, sister. I’m naturally very active and usually on-the-go. You’ll often find me outside running, walking my dogs, or out exploring with family and friends. I still love my green juice and a good sweaty workout, but as I’ve gotten older, I’ve come to appreciate a slower pace, meals at home, a good movie on the couch, and an early bedtime.

And, most mornings, it’s coffee first.
