With a comprehensive background in holistic health and nutrition, I specialize in personalized wellness programs that address individual needs, ranging from digestive health to lifestyle and wellness transformations.
I empower clients to achieve optimal well-being through sustainable and mindful approaches.
Why clients trust me:
I’ve walked the path — from chronic pain and burnout to healing, recovery, and renewal. After a major spinal injury left me bedbound, I gained weight, struggled with sleep, and faced relentless fatigue. I know what it feels like to not recognize your body or feel at home in it.
That experience transformed my approach to nutrition. It’s not just about what’s on your plate — it’s about reclaiming your energy, your confidence, and your joy.
As a licensed holistic nutritionist with over 28 years of experience in the health and dental industries, I combine science-backed strategies with compassionate care. I take the time to truly listen, connect the dots, and build personalized plans that work in real life — for real people.
Whether you're dealing with gut issues, weight gain, inflammation, or just feeling “off,” I’m here to help you get to the root of it and feel better — naturally.
