MY STORY
Hi, I’m Adrienne — but most people call me Nin.
I’m a 47-year-old mother of two, certified Integrative Health Practitioner, and co-owner of the Scented Leaf Tea House with my husband here in Tucson, AZ.
For more than 25 years, I climbed the corporate ladder while raising a family and building a community-centered tea brand rooted in presence, connection, and the healing ritual of slowing down.
Tea has always symbolized something essential to me: nourishment, nervous system safety, and the reminder that we are meant to receive, not only produce.
And yet — for years, I lived completely disconnected from my own body.
MY WELLNESS TURNING POINT
Like so many women, I was doing everything for everyone.
I pushed.
I overrode my body.
I ignored my needs.
And my body responded the only way it could:
Gut issues
Weight gain that didn’t respond to diet or exercise
Exhaustion so deep it felt cellular
Hormonal and reproductive imbalances
Eczema and inflammation
Anxiety and heart palpitations
Brain fog and mood shifts
Doctors told me my labs were “normal.”
But I knew my life did not feel normal.
I didn’t want to power through anymore.
I wanted to feel at home in myself.
THE SHIFT
Our bodies are not machines to control.
They are ecosystems that thrive under:
Nourishment
Rhythm
Emotional safety
Weight gain, fatigue, anxiety, and disconnection are not failures — they are signals.
Signals asking us to soften, to listen, and to recalibrate our metabolic foundation from the inside out.
This is where my work begins.
MY PHILOSOPHY
This is not about willpower.
It’s about receiving enough nourishment to become who you’re meant to be.
Small, supportive shifts → strengthen metabolic function
Stronger metabolism → increases energy
More energy → makes expanding your identity feel natural
Identity expansion → leads to becoming the woman you are proud of
This is the arc of transformation:
Metabolic Recalibration → Ease → Becoming
This is not about going back.
It’s about becoming more deeply you.
MY APPROACH
I ground my programs in:
Functional medicine principles
Ayurvedic wisdom
Nervous system regulation
Behavioral identity change
Ritual and sensory nourishment (including tea as a daily anchor)
We create change by supporting digestion, metabolic rhythm, and emotional safety — the true core of sustainable transformation.
Because success isn’t about pushing harder.
It’s about becoming the version of yourself who naturally chooses what feels good, grounding, energizing, and true.
The body follows the mind.
And the mind follows how deeply we feel safe, nourished, and supported.
THE SCENTED LEAF CONNECTION
Tea has always been more than a beverage for me. It is:
a pause
a breath
a ritual
a remembering
At the Scented Leaf, we’ve always believed in the warmth of shared experience — of slowing down, savoring, and reconnecting.
The Healthy With Nin wellness journey extends that same philosophy:
Nourish the core.
Create space.
Return to yourself.
