My Story

I used to run 3 miles every other day. Fast forward to March 2014, and I could barely make it from the couch to the bathroom.

Somehow even worse than the excruciating pain, crushing fatigue, and long list of symptoms I was experiencing was feeling so alone with it all. During this time, more than anything, I wanted community. I wanted to know that I wasn't alone. I wanted someone to connect with who understood what I was going through.

As I healed, I had many days where I counted walking to the mailbox as my exercise for the day. I am still on this healing journey. And, these days, I go to the gym, do yoga, and go hiking in the woods. My mind, body, and spirit are healing and getting stronger, and my quality of life continues to improve.

I am a Certified Transformational Nutrition Coach. I graduated from the Institute of Transformational Nutrition® in November 2024, and I am continuing my education with a specialization in Holistic Health.

My training also includes a B.S. in Biology from Syracuse University, coursework in Global Health Sciences from UCSF, and many years of informal online health and nutrition education that I got over the course of my healing journey.

My lived experience informs my coaching practice, in which I use a mind / body / spirit approach that honors the wisdom that each person has within them.

I am the coach that my younger self wished she had, and I am building the community that she longed for.
