About ME

I have spent my life on a weight rollercoaster. Since a young age, I have battled being overweight. I lacked balance in my life across the board. As I built my career in the nonprofit world of human services, I burned out physically and mentally. I would alternate between extremes of deprivation and binging. I was always beating myself up and looking backward. I tried every diet imaginable. I thought someone else needed to tell me how to be healthy when the answer was always within. 

In 2019, I decided to take ownership over my health and my body. I knew I needed to make a drastic change in the hopes of getting pregnant and maintaining a healthy pregnancy. In one year, I lost 125 pounds. Dieting, hiking, and yoga got me there, but I knew something more had to keep me well - had to get me off the rollercoaster. Fate stepped in and introduced me to the world of Health Coaching through a mutual friend.  In 2021, I became a certified Health Coach through the Institute of Integrative Nutrition. I learned about intuitive eating, but more importantly, how to really listen and trust in my body. No more dieting. 

Since 2019, I’ve maintained a healthy weight and lifestyle, including through pregnancy with my beautiful baby girl. I continue to research nutrition and biology to better understand how to optimize your health through eating. The more I learn, the more I realize the adage is true... you are what you eat. 

After a lifelong struggle, I finally got off my weight rollercoaster. I know the pain and suffering of growing up overweight, and I have conquered it. And I would be honored to help you in your own journey to the healthy you.
