A Little About Me

 

I am a coach, a mentor, and an illuminator. As a life-long student, I crave to learn about the endless fields of nutrition, energy medicine, and personal growth. When it comes to food and weight loss, I have a unique process that helps identify the invisible need under the unpleasant feelings around eating. Together, we uncover how to get those needs fulfilled so that you can bring love, joy, connection, and energy back into your life.

 

Ever since my second year of college, I have been interested in nutrition. The first year I found myself part of the "Freshman 15" club. You know the one where you gain 15 pounds from all the eating out and partying? Ya… that was me. But being the overachiever that I am, I put on 20 lbs in less than three months. That is a lot for my 5'2" frame! I quickly learned that what I put into my body had a significant impact. But at this time of life, I was drawn to study Statistics and kept nutrition and weight training as healthy hobbies.

 

Fast forward to when I was in my early 40's. It was a very hectic and stressful time. My three sons were 15, 5, and 3. A series of challenging life circumstances launched me into some rough years, which resulted in my battling adrenal fatigue. I did what I had always done with my health; I turned to cleaning up my diet.  Simultaneously, I was called to enroll in the Institute for Integrative Nutrition Health Coaching program.

While what we eat is super important, one of the biggest aha's I had while in nutrition school was that my health was affected by more than just the food on my plate. I was stressed out, bottling up emotions, and my body broke down. I learned the importance of taking care of myself – physically, emotionally, and spiritually. And once I had that profound learning, I knew I wanted to help other women experience that too.  

A few tidbits about me personally… I have been with and married to my soulmate for 20+ years. This man truly changed the course of my life. We live in Northern California, where we have been blessed to raise three incredible young men. I love to be outdoors, in the sunshine, and spending time with my sweet, rambunctious boxer named Loki.
