My Story

I was fortunate enough to be raised in a non-traditional household (if you asked my 12-year-old self, I maybe had a different answer). My parents shopped primarily at local health food stores, they gave my brother and I homeopathic medicine, my mom used incense, we ate tofu, and we had no soda, candy, or processed sugar in the house. Even though my parents did cave and let us have junk food from time-to-time, they did a great job teaching my brother and I how to be healthy.

Thanks to this foundation, food and holistic living are major passions of mine, but it took my own personal struggles with food to lead me to pursue this career path. Enrolling in the Institute for Integrative Nutrition changed my life. Through my education, I was able to develop a healthy relationship with food and was able to tackle areas in my life that were out of balance (i.e. emotional eating).

My Focus and Methods

My focus is to educate and coach clients on the principles of healthy eating, while also looking at areas of life that may need some extra l-o-v-e.

My methods for coaching are non-traditional. Beyond being a Health Coach, I am also a Yoga Alliance certified yoga instructor and incorporate yoga postures, breath work, meditation practices, books/quotes, mantras, visualizations, essential oils, and many other methods into my coaching. I believe we must look at the entire person to get an idea of what is going on when it comes to health & wellness. The body is a complex system that all works together to keep us well. When mind, body, or soul isn’t being nourished, we do not feel like our best selves. My work is highly individual. I work with my clients on everything they are going through in life, and I help them come up with solutions for their own lives.
