Welcome! I’m Connie!

I’m a competitive solo ice dancer at the Senior international level and am also a skating coach, working with students of all ages and levels including hockey. It is seriously never too late to start skating! I have taught many adults!

I grew up and currently reside in a small town in Michigan and received my bachelor’s degree from the University of Michigan. I had always dreamed of becoming a veterinarian because of my love of animals. In the end though, I decided it wasn’t for me and found just as much satisfaction helping animals through volunteering at a vegan animal rescue farm and went into coaching instead. I also have a Flat Coated Retriever named Agate who is a therapy dog.

My story with clean beauty began in December 2021. I was diagnosed with Melanoma skin cancer, the deadliest of the skin cancers. It was a frightening time even though I was diagnosed early and the prognosis was good. But it was a wake up call that I needed a good sunscreen that I would WANT to apply. I had started to educate myself on ingredient safety and the benefits of mineral vs chemical sunscreen so I wouldn't have to do this all over again with a different form of cancer. In my research about cancers and personal care ingredients, I connected with a fellow skating coach over IG who is a cancer mama where I was introduce to Beautycounter, I tried their sunscreen as well as a couple other products and loved it! I got hooked on literally EVERYTHING! But most importantly, the mission and the advocacy for clean ingredients was what got me obsessed. Deciding to become a consultant was only a natural progression. Really though, who could say no to an amazing discount while also sharing the products you love, help others switch to clean and make some extra money???

However, as much as Beautycounter has meant to me, my Beautycounter business was unfortunately put on a temporary hold in mid April 2024 when the company went bankrupt. During this uncertain period I've decided to pivot and found Arbonne through another former Beautycounter advocate. I started by trying out some products first and absolutely loved them! What I love about Arbonne that Beautycounter didn't have is their Wellness line! Being an athlete and into supporting a healthy body and mind, these products are exactly what I need. So far my favorite products are the Green Synergy Elixir (a greens, collagen builder and pre/probiotics powder all in one which still tastes yummy!) the Energy Fizz because it only contains 55 mg caffeine but is the perfect pick me up with sustainable natural and tastes amazing and the protein powder which is the best tasting one I've tried! I also love the teas too! And the MindHealth to support cognitive function. Arbonne was a natural fit for me because like Beautycounter, they are also a Certified B corp and have a Not Allowed List of over 2,000 ingredients. An added perk is their products are all vegan!

If you want to make your own health switch and join me , please reach out and I'd be more than happy to help!
