ABOUT

I’m Nat — founder of Always a Gluten Free Gal, writer, chronic illness advocate, and gluten-free foodie in CLT, NC & beyond. After navigating my mental health, celiac disease, IBS, and endometriosis, I discovered that healing isn’t just physical — it’s ongoing, layered, and deeply personal.

​

I’ve always been a creative at heart. I turned to writing and poetry during college as a way to cope with mental health, which eventually led to publishing three poetry books. Today, I use my voice and lived experience to share real moments, encourage self-reflection, and create space for honest conversations around food, wellness, and chronic illness.

​

My work has connected me with brands, restaurants, and individuals who believe in safe, joyful, and intentional gluten free living. Through content creation, community building, and storytelling, I aim to help others feel seen, supported, and understood in the gluten free, mental health, and chronic illness community.

When I’m not creating content or blogging, you’ll usually find me journaling, chasing new gluten-free finds, spending time with people I love, or soaking up the little moments that remind me how far I’ve come.
