Meet Brittany
Hi there! I live in Houston, Texas which is where I was born and raised only leaving for college at LSU! My husband, Austin, and I met in highschool and then reconnected after college. We were married young and now have four children, Haden, Kelly, Rob and Scottie Anne. This time has flown by, but it has been filled with busy work schedules, lots of babies, and time spent with friends and family. Our family has a cattle ranch in Round Top, Texas and we have dreams of creating a regenerative ranch we can live off of. We just recently put in a garden large enough to feed a family of 15. We are diving in with little gardening experience which should be a fun journey. I love being active and playing tennis is my favorite outdoor activity! I value home cooked meals for my family and love being able to provide my family with healthy, delicious meals that we can all enjoy together!
My own wellness journey has happened somewhat organically and has been a work in progress. I started paying more attention to what I was eating and feeding my family, cleaned up my beauty products, and removed harmful toxins and fragrances from our home. After making these changes over time, we started to feel better, lose body fat, and feel more energized. What began as a hobby, has now transformed into a career and I am so grateful to be able to share my passion for health and wellness with others. I graduated from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition as a Health Coach in February of 2023. I previously worked in the corporate world for 15 years as a corporate trainer and coach. I truly loved my job and the company I worked for. After becoming a mom of four children, my priorities changed and time for myself and for work became limited. I knew I did not want to give up exploring health and wellness and decided to turn this hobby into my career! Well Balanced with Britt is my opportunity to share how I navigate through all of the information on health and wellness and still have fun in life! It is all about balance and not overthinking or overstressing. I hope to help others see this. My goal is to be able to empower others and help create happy and healthy homes.

My Health Journey
My health journey has been filled with trial and error and is certainly still a work in
progress. I am nowhere near perfect and actually do not believe it is possible to be
100% clean or “toxic free”. I have an ongoing wish list of items I want to try or
change, but never put too much pressure on myself to make this all happen at
once. I do what I can and try to keep a well balanced approach for myself
and my family.
I have always been conscious of my weight, but never cared enough to diet. Life
is way too short to not eat good food and have fun! Both of my parents love to
cook and meals have always been a love language in our family. That being said,
our meals usually included a canned or frozen side dish, some type of delicious
rolls or pasta all to be paired with a meat usually cooked on the grill. My college
roommate opened my eyes to eating vegetables. She loved to roast veggies in the
oven for dinner and threw together a spinach salad with tuna or chicken for lunch.
Lucky for me she was always willing to share! In my 20’s, working out and running
was how I “kept myself healthy”. If I ate too much, drank too much, or all of the
above, I would just run longer distances and spend more time in the gym. I kept
this up for many years, but never seemed to get the results I wanted.
​
My search for a cleaner lifestyle began when my father was fighting his own battle with cancer. When his cancer treatments were not enough, I desperately wanted to help him heal and feel better. I was searching for foods that would nourish his body and strengthen his immune system. Right around the same time, I started taking interest in a friend’s company, Branch Basics that had really begun to generate a buzz. I followed their lead and started with removing toxic cleaning products and fragrances one step at a time. I still remember the day I threw away my “fancy” collection of perfumes that I had on display in my bathroom for years. I thought about donating them, but I could not bring myself to give them to anyone else knowing how harmful these can be. With every change we made in our home, we started to feel better and more energized. My husband and I started exploring new foods and found that real, nourishing food was delicious. There is something so comforting to me about having a refrigerator full of colorful, fresh foods.
​
I am in awe of how our bodies can naturally heal themselves and how good you can actually feel. Now I am hooked and never want to go back!
