My Journey
In my early years I was on the right path to good health, but as I got older I began letting in bad foods that were processed junk. College brought on rushed meals, and by the time I was in photography at the age of 20 at my first job in NYC, I was lucky to eat at all, let alone totally healthy.
I thought long walks to the subway were enough for exercise. Late hours and chemicals used in the pre-digital photography world abused my body, and by the age of 21 I was suffering from hormonal problems, gastritis, IBS, hemorrhoids, and intestinal cystitis. I was a mess.
By the time I got married, anxiety, OCD, and panic attacks controlled my every waking moment. I was put on antidepressants and a tranquilizers. The pills made me unmotivated and my weight went down to 110 pounds. I couldn't eat and I had no desire for food--or life. I felt trapped. And my body continued to turn on me.
After two pregnancies, more meds were given to me for postpartum depression, and my weight rose to 200 pounds, the highest it's ever been. It was then that I looked in the mirror and thought to myself, "Who is that?" I became so heavy, my face was hardly recognizable. And then I sat and cried for a long time.
I knew I had to do something to save my life. I just didn't know what. Where was the girl who loved life and healthy food?
That was the day I began my journey back to healthy living again. I started with exercises, probiotics, a colon cleanse, and going back to eating healthy whole foods only, as my grandparents taught me.
The change was amazing. I was able to stop taking most of the meds I was on and lost 35 pounds. But it wasn't until I stopped eating gluten and sugar that I became balanced and no longer needed the antidepressants.
I started listening to my body and what it had to say, and worked on my mind by forgiving and loving myself, releasing resentments and regrets, and developing self-worth.
Today I'm where my body wants to be. Nobody ever told me all I needed to do was balance my body and love myself.
In today's society, many people are nutrient deficient. This can lead to horrible imbalances in the body. God gave our bodies the ability to heal itself, and provided fruits and vegetables to nourish both body and mind.
Let the Healing Journey begin!
Most approaches to healthy eating dwell on calories, carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Instead of creating lists of restrictions and good and bad foods, I coach my clients to explore basic improvements and implement gradual changes during our work together. As these pieces accumulate, my clients find these changes collectively creating a much larger impact than they originally anticipated. We work on what they want to improve within the circumstances of their unique situation.
No one diet works for everyone. As your coach, I will not dictate a diet for you, but together we will explore why some foods make you feel better than others and how to strategically use that feedback.
I will guide you to find the food and lifestyle choices that best support you. I will also help you make gradual, lifelong changes that enable you to reach your current and future health goals.

Integrative Nutrition Plate
The Integrative Nutrition Plate emphasizes the importance of local and organic produce, whole grains, high-quality proteins, plant-based fats, and water. It shows you how a plate should appear at mealtime and emphasizes the importance of proportions and portion size. To complete the picture, the plate is surrounded with lifestyle factors that create optimal health: relationship, career, physical activity and spirituality. I’ll introduce you to some of the healthiest foods on the planet and teach you how to find what’s healthiest for your unique body!
Primary Food
It’s easy to overlook all of the things that contribute to our sense of nourishment and fulfillment. It’s not just the food we eat that affects our health, but all of the other factors present in our daily lives. Healthy relationships, a fulfilling career, regular physical activity, and a spiritual awareness are essential forms of nourishment. When these primary foods are balanced, what you eat becomes secondary. I will support you in achieving all of your goals, from eating the right foods for your body to living an inspired, fulfilling life.
Bio-individuality
The concept of bio-individuality is the idea that each of us has unique food and lifestyle needs. One person’s food is another person’s poison, and that’s why fad diets tend to fail in the long run. Working on the principle of bio-individuality, I’ll support you to make positive changes that are based on your unique needs, lifestyle, preferences, and ancestral background.
Crowding Out
Many nutrition experts give their clients a list of foods to avoid and foods to eat, which explains why so many people are turned off by nutrition. My approach is different – by eating and drinking foods that are good for you, you will naturally have less room and desire for unhealthy foods. Simply put, you will crowd out the unhealthy food in your diet. This takes a little practice to make happen, but I will support you along the way.
Deconstructing Cravings
Cravings play a critical role in understanding what your body needs and shouldn’t be ignored. When you learn how to deconstruct your cravings and understand what they’re really telling you, you will be able to reclaim a sense of balance and harmony.
